Practice functional morphology in unambiguous contexts ——A comment on Slabakova (2014)
Slabakova (2014) discusses the pedagogical implications of the bottleneck of second language acquisition,namely that functional morphemes and their features are the most difficult aspects of the grammar to acquire because they posit a higher cognitive load in processing.She concludes that ”in a sense,drilling of the functional morphology is inevitable if the form has to move from the declarative to the procedural memory of the learner and then get sufficiently automatic for easy lexical access”,to which is appended the following footnote:”My view in this respect is opposed to the position of linguists like Michel Paradis (e.g.,Paradis 2004,2009)...that declarative knowledge cannot ‘be transformed’ into procedural knowledge.I am grateful to an anonymous reviewer for suggesting this contrast.”
