Abstract:

This book explores questions about the nature of an interlanguage
grammar, i.e. the grammar of a bilingual. John Archibald approaches
these questions within a cognitive science perspective that draws upon
abstract representational structures in demonstrating that
phonological knowledge underlies the surface phonetic properties of L2
speech. Specifically, he proposes that interlanguage grammars are not
'impaired', 'fundamentally different', or 'shallow' (as some have
argued); the phonological grammars are complex,
hierarchically-structured, mental representations that are governed by
the principles of linguistic theory, including those of Universal
Grammar. The book outlines a model that addresses Plato's problem
(learning in the absence of evidence) and Orwell's problem (resistance
to learning in the face of abundant evidence). Furthermore, the study
of grammatical interfaces—phonetics/phonology; phonology/morphology;
phonology/syntax—reveals the necessary design conditions for an
internally-consistent architecture for a comprehensive model of second
language speech. The resulting empirically-motivated model is
parsimonious in accounting for all aspects of L2 speech from
phonological feature, to segment, to word, to sentence. The book
concludes by discussing why phonology has been underrepresented in
generative approaches to second language acquisition, and examining
some of the implications of second language phonology for applied
linguistics and language pedagogy.
