6.2.1 - p 163
Initial State –
The unconscious linguistic
knowledge that learners have before
receiving L2 input
6.2.1.1 - p164
Fundamental Difference Hypothesis –
The claim that child first language and
adult second language acquisition are
different.

6.2.1.2 - p 165
Access to UG Hypothesis –
The claim that the innate language
facility is operative in second language
learners.

6.2.2 UG Principles
6-13 The boy who is standing over there is happy.
6-14 Is the boy who is standing over there ____ happy?
6-15 Is the boy who ______ standing over there is happy?
ECP – Empty Category Principle (Chomsky,1981)

6.2.3 UG parameters
a) the omission of subject pronouns
b) the inversion of subjects and verbs in
declarative sentences
c) that-trace effects-that is, the extraction of a
subject out of a clause that contains a
complementizer.

6.2.4 Falsification
- Kaleidoscope factor - Assume a no-access to UG position, as we have seen with regard to the Fundamental Difference
Hypothesis
Attribute the results to methodological problems
Attribute the result to an undefined performance component
Attribute the results to mapping factors or; Assume he theory is false

6.3 Transfer : the UG perspective
- White (1992) – Provided detail on this issue. –P176
6.3.1 Levels of representation – p176
6-25 Visiting relatives can be boring.
6-26 When I visit relatives, I am bored.
6-27 Relatives who visit me can be boring.

6.3.3 Learnability
(6-28) The man is drinking slowly his coffee.
6.4 Phonology - 178
6.4.1 Markedness Differential Hypothesis -179

6.4.3 Optimality Theory – Eckman , Elreyes,and Iverson -184
(2003)
1) the target language has two contrasting sounds, neither of which is present in the native language (2)the target language has two contrasting sounds, one of which is present in the native language and (3)the target language has two contrasting sounds, both of which are present in the native language , but which do not contrast.

6.4.4 Ontogeny Phylogeny Model – p 186
- Chronological corollary : interlanguage develops
chronologically in the following manner :
(a) L2 increases, (b) L1 decreases, and (c) U increases and then decreases (p85). this is demonstrated in
Figures 6-1to 6-6.
- Stylistic corollary : IL varies stylistically in the following manner : (a) L2 increases (b) l1 decreases (c) U increases and then decreases (p.93)
![Page 13: Chapter 6 Formal Approaches to SLA Joanna – N98C0026 楊鎧綺 Gass, S. M., & Selinker, L. (2008). Second language acquisition: An introductory course (3rd](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649cff5503460f949d0cc6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
-Similarity corollary: In similar phenomena, IL develops chronologically in the following manner:
(a) L2 increases slowly
(b) L1 decreases slowly
(c) U increases slowly and then decreases slowly
![Page 14: Chapter 6 Formal Approaches to SLA Joanna – N98C0026 楊鎧綺 Gass, S. M., & Selinker, L. (2008). Second language acquisition: An introductory course (3rd](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649cff5503460f949d0cc6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
- Markedness corollary : In marked phenomena, IL develops chronologically in the following manner:
(a) second language increases slowly
(b) first language decreases [at a normal rate] and then decrease slowly (c) U increases rapidly and decreases slowly . Thus, except for the earliest stages, the role of U is much greater than L1, compared to less-marked phenomena.

6.5 Conclusion & Discussion - 189
1.What is the concept of language UG and relationship to SLA? Would these relate to the concept of language universals?
2. What way can U affect the develop of IL grammars in terms of the nature of how grammatical knowledge relates to input?
![Page 16: Chapter 6 Formal Approaches to SLA Joanna – N98C0026 楊鎧綺 Gass, S. M., & Selinker, L. (2008). Second language acquisition: An introductory course (3rd](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649cff5503460f949d0cc6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How does this concept relate to Kellerman’s
notion of transfer discussed in chapter 5 ?
3. What might the function of the use or nonuse
of pronouns be ?
Why are pronouns obligatory in English and
not so in other
languages?
How can our knowledge of parameter
clusterings help language teachers?
