ACQUISITION
Philosophy: Language is special Subconscious Process: Incidental - trying to communicate Implicit - unaware of learning Purpose - focus on meaning/communication Cause of internalization - comprehensible input Product: implicit knowledge, i.e. you know what sounds right or wrong, but may not know why |
