Input Vs Corrective Feedback In The Acquisition Of Spanish Negation, Yolanda Pangtay‐Chang

Research Day (Arts & Humanities, FIMS, and Education)

Input is important and necessary to acquire a language, nevertheless output will tell us in what degree the language has been acquired.

Since other factors such as motivation affect acquisition, what type of feedback is necessary and in what amount to help L2 students correct their proficiency in the target language?


Ellipsis And Agree: Parallelism Effects In Spanish Noun Drop, Joyce Bruhn De Garavito Mar 2011

Ellipsis And Agree: Parallelism Effects In Spanish Noun Drop, Joyce Bruhn De Garavito

Research Day (Arts & Humanities, FIMS, and Education)

In Spanish it is possible to drop nouns in order to avoid repetition. Noun drop is very productive (Ticio 2001; 2005).

Given the high level of accuracy in gender concord found in previous studies (Bruhn de Garavito and White 2002; White et al 2004, among others) I predict that adult learners of Spanish have the appropriate representation of number and gender in their L2. They will therefore distinguish between these two features under ellipsis.
