Second language acquisition and comprehension mechanisms: The problem of Russian inflectional morphology.
Thomson, Gregory Edward.

Second language acquisition and comprehension mechanisms: The problem of Russian inflectional morphology. - 184 p.

Adviser: Gary Libben.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2000.

Acquiring grammatical form is typically considered central to second language acquisition (SLA), and assumed to involve the development of an internal grammar, i.e., a mental apparatus that characterizes the form of sentences in the second language (L2). An alternative assumed here is to view linguistic forms as processing triggers and SLA as learning to detect and react to such triggers (and then to produce comparable ones).

520 $a Acquiring grammatical form is typically considered central to second language acquisition (SLA), and assumed to involve the development of an internal grammar, i.e., a mental apparatus that characterizes the form of sentences in the second language (L2). An alternative assumed here is to view linguistic forms as processing triggers and SLA as learning to detect and react to such triggers (and then to produce comparable ones).
520 $a Inflectional cue systems are inherently complex, combining lexical cues and grammatical cues in phonological words. They are complex in their formal nature, in the sets of processes that they trigger, and in the relationships between the two. Thus, it should not be surprising that L2 inflection is often not readily acquired.
520 $a This dissertation first sketches a broad picture of language processing, next explores the nature of inflectional morphology, and then proceeds to an experimental investigation into whether various categories of inflectional morphology are active or inert in the comprehension systems of ninety-one adult learners of Russian as a second language, representing two developmental levels (along with twenty-five native Russian control participants). Sensitivity to inflectional errors (and by implication, to particular features of inflectional form) was investigated under three conditions: (1) meaning-oriented listening; (2) form-oriented listening; (3) free examination of printed sentence.
520 $a Evidence emerges that systematic acquisition of inflectional morphology does take place in learners of L2 Russian. However, the developmental process would appear to be so protracted that complete acquisition may be a rarity. Explicit metalinguistic knowledge of L2 grammar may allow some learners to simulate many features of nativelike production when the relevant strictly linguistic developments may still be years away. Implications are discussed in relation to various SLA models and research approaches.
