Abstract
Through a survey of crosslinguistic empirical studies on narratives and in the domain of motion events, we argue
that the principles of language use pose a hurdle for second language acquisition, an issue that has not been given adequate
attention in earlier research. These principles are part of our pragmatic knowledge which encompasses language-specific
information organization at the discourse level as well as event schemata at the level of construing reportable units. The
findings show how highly competent L2 speakers activate L1-based knowledge that reflects deeply entrenched principles and seems
resistant to change.
期刊介绍:
LIA is a bilingual English-French journal that publishes original theoretical and empirical research of high scientific quality at the forefront of current debates concerning language acquisition. It covers all facets of language acquisition among different types of learners and in diverse learning situations, with particular attention to oral speech and/or to signed languages. Topics include the acquisition of one or more foreign languages, of one or more first languages, and of sign languages, as well as learners’ use of gestures during speech; the relationship between language and cognition during acquisition; bilingualism and situations of linguistic contact – for example pidginisation and creolisation. The bilingual nature of LIA aims at reaching readership in a wide international community, while simultaneously continuing to attract intellectual and linguistic resources stemming from multiple scientific traditions in Europe, thereby remaining faithful to its original French anchoring. LIA is the direct descendant of the French-speaking journal AILE.
