Primary Investigator
Overview
This experimental study will examine the syntactic processing ability of classroom learners of French as a second language. It is our working hypothesis that when learners perform certain syntactic computations in which information is carried over in step-by-step fashion in response to input, certain subtle efficiency gains are derived from these computations.
