ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates second-language (L2) acquisition of wh-questions by Japanese- and Chinese-speaking learners of English and attempts to specify the role of Universal Grammar (UG) in L2 acquisition.
期刊介绍:
The research published in Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics makes a clear contribution to linguistic theory by increasing our understanding of how language is acquired. The journal focuses on the acquisition of syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology, and considers theoretical, experimental, and computational perspectives. Coverage includes solutions to the logical problem of language acquisition, as it arises for particular grammatical proposals; discussion of acquisition data relevant to current linguistic questions; and perspectives derived from theory-driven studies of second language acquisition, language-impaired speakers, and other domains of cognition.
