<div dir="ltr">Hi Marilyn,<div><br></div><div>I think the problem with this explanation for L2 learners' problems with idiom comprehension is that the same problems should arise for L1 learners. "kick the bucket" etc. should be just as opaque to the child learning their first language as it is for the L2 learner. So, the question is: Is it the nature of the learning environment that allows L1 learners to "crack the code", so to speak, or is it in the nature of the learner? In the case of the first hypothesis, it might simply be the case that the L1 learner just has more exposure to language and idioms and more opportunity to figure the idiomatic meaning. However, L2 speakers who live full time in the country of the L2 seem to have just as much opportunity to interface in this way. So maybe it's the second hypothesis, and it's about being a young learner, possibly some form of the "less is more" hypothesis could explain this (right now, I don't see a clear line with that explanation). One interesting possibility might be related to the fact that idioms are processed in the Right Hemisphere analogue of language areas. This suggests that, at some point in the L1 learning process, the brain shunts idiomatic material (perhaps due to its non-compositional nature) into RH, where it is processed as chunks, but that this sorting process is not possible for L2 learners because they, in some sense, can only learn bits of language that conform to certain kinds of rule structures that are candidates for Left Hemisphere representation.</div>

<p dir="LTR"><span lang="en-us">One interesting observation that I've heard is that people who are (late) L2 learners will have problems in using and understanding idioms in the non-native language. This appears to be true in speakers who have perfect phonology and grammar and might be otherwise indistinguishable from native speakers. It suggests that the acquisition of idioms is somehow linked to mechanisms that differentiate between L1 and L2 processing.</span></p>

I have been reading about Prototype Theory of Eleanor Rosch, which is the point of departure for my M.A thesis, within the frame of child language development. Then I suddenly found myself trying to design steps for (an) experiment(s) in idiom comprehension.
