Native Speaker vs. L2 Learner Grammaticality Judgments.

Davies, William D.; Kaplan, Tamar I.

Applied Linguistics, v19 n2 p183-203 Jun 1998

An experiment compared group oral protocols of 37 native English-speaking subjects enrolled in a fourth-semester college French course making grammaticality judgments in English and French. Results indicate the subjects do not necessarily use the same strategies in rendering grammaticality judgments in first and second languages, casting doubt on theory based on data elicited through second-language (L2) judgments.
