Specificity and validity in the SLA literature

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

We propose a new paradigm for testing the influence of specificity on the acquisition of English articles (Ionin, 2003; Ionin et al., 2004; Ionin et al., 2009; Ko et al., 2010). We discuss and resolve issues of validation and present a preview and discussion of the results the new paradigm generates for L2 learners of English with Mandarin as an L1.
