Grammatical Processing in Language Learners.
Harald Clahsen,Claudia Felser +1 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a detailed study of grammatical processing in language learners using experimental psycholinguistic techniques and comparing different populations (mature native speakers, child first language [L1] and adult second language learners] as well as different domains of language (morphology and syntax).
Journal ArticleDOI
German inflection: The exception that proves the rule
TL;DR: This work finds 21 circumstances for regular past tense formation, including novel, unusual-sounding, and rootless and headless derived words; in every case, people inflect them regularly and are evidence for a memory-independent, symbol-concatenating mental operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lexical entries and rules of language: a multidisciplinary study of German inflection.
TL;DR: Evidence for the dual nature of the language faculty is provided by describing recent results of a multidisciplinary investigation of German inflection and a linguistic model is explained in terms of the traditional view of the lexicon as a simple list of idiosyncrasies with the notion of internally structured lexical representations is replaced.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Research on Second Language (L2) Acquisition, over the past ten years, has undergone substantial changes by shifting its focus of interest away from an analysis of linguistic structures alone, concentrating more on the learner himself or, rather, on the process of learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Harald Clahsen,Pieter Muysken +1 more
