<div dir="ltr">Very interesting, Marylin. Has there been any further evidence since Vihman (in Obler & Menn) demonstrating that child L2 learners rely more extensively on chunks and formulaic language? Or is that the last demonstration you know of? There is tons of evidence for such formulaic over-reliance in adult L2s, but I've always heard--perhaps from being more in a usage-based background--that children relied on formulas early on, regardless of L1 or L2. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.<div><br></div><div>Great topic!</div><div><br></div><div>Phillip Hamrick, Ph.D.<br>Assistant Professor</div><div>PI, Language and Cognition Research Laboratory</div><div>Department of English</div><div>Kent State University</div><div>Kent, OH 44242<br><br>On Sunday, June 8, 2014 1:41:15 AM UTC-4, Marilyn Vihman wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Dear Peter,<div><br></div><div>This is an interesting new strand to the discussion! Without being a neuro specialist at all, I'd just like to comment on your idea about the second hypothesis. Based on the work of Bates, Thal and their group on language learning in children with focal lesions - as well as on much other work on hemispheric specialization - it seems that in at least in L1 novel expressions will first be picked up by the RH because it is attuned to what is novel and is the first port for holistic processing. This all fits well enough with what you say, except for the 'shunting…into RH'. A difference from L2 would be that the linguistic analysis by the LH is likely not to function at all in L1 until some criterial amount of holistic word/phrase knowledge has been picked up by the RH (John Locke had an interesting 1994 paper about the transfer of early L1 linguistic knowledge to LH; I doubt that it is quite right, but I don't know of an alternative view). (I realise that the LH has been shown to be active in consonant discrimination more or less from birth, but that is not the same thing as processing lexical items, of course.) In L2, on the other hand, the LH is already functional for sublexical analysis - even in very young L2 learners, so idioms, on your 2nd hypothesis, could begin to be (mistakenly) analysed into components wherever the individual lexical items are known before the idiom as a whole is encountered - again, more likely in L2 than in L1. </div><div><br></div><div>One thing to add is that very young L2 learners, whose phonological memory has already begun to be constructed with linguistic memory (see Keren-Portnoy et al. 2010, <i>JSLHR</i>), tend generally to <i>begin</i> L2 learning with chunks or formulaic language - i.e., with longer lexical units than single words - unlike most L1 learners (see Vihman 1982, in Obler & Menn's book on <i>Exceptional Language</i>). I'm not sure how to follow out the implications of this in relation to idiom learning…but yes, this is a fun topic to brainstorm about!</div><div><br></div><div>-marilyn vihman</div><div><br><div><div>On 8 Jun 2014, at 01:58, "Gordon, Peter" <<a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="ab5cSvfemlwJ">pgo...@tc.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><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>
