Collocations and Cultural Connotations of Common Words.

Stubbs, Michael

Linguistics and Education, v7 n4 p379-90 1995

In a response to Halliday (1993), Gee (1994) discussed the analogies between learning a language and learning in general. The article presents two of his proposals and discusses an empirical method for studying them. The article focuses on identifying the units acquired during language learning and the relevance of the concept of an innate language acquisition device. (18 references) (Author/CK)
