1 Input-related determinants of L2 construction learning Afra Alishahi Ad Backus Tilburg University, the Netherlands ICCG-8, Osnabrück
2 Study overview L2 construction learning Computational model How do quantitative properties of language input affect L2 learning?
3 Determinants of L2 learning What can affect L2 learning results?
4 Determinants of L2 learning What can affect L2 learning results?
5 Determinants of L2 learning What can affect L2 learning results? E.g., age of onset, memory, amount of exposure and motivation [Foster, Bolibaugh, & Kotula, 2014]
6 Input-related determinants of L2 learning Focus on input properties [Goldschneider & DeKeyser, 2001] Explaining the Natural Order of L2 Morpheme Acquisition in English: A Meta-analysis of Multiple Determinants - frequency - phonological salience - semantic complexity - etc.
7 Input-related determinants of L2 learning Item Variables Frequency Salience Complexity... Acquisition score morph1 morph2... [Goldschneider & DeKeyser, 2001]
8 Input-related determinants of L2 construction learning Further focus on construction learning [Ellis, O'Donnell, & Römer, 2014]: Determinants of learning argument structure constructions in L1: (1) verb frequency (F) (2) contingency between verb and construction (ΔP) (3) semantic prototypicality [Ellis & Ferreira-Junior, 2009]: Similar work for L2, but: - 3 constructions - 3 variables tend to correlate with each other
9 Input-related determinants of L2 construction learning RQ: Do the same factors (F and ΔP) determine L2 construction learning? Compared to [Ellis & Ferreira-Junior, 2009]: - Larger data - Highly controlled setting (computational model) - Show individual contribution of each factor
10 1. Frequency Frequency of verbs in a certain argument structure construction: E.g., prepositional dative (transfer) construction: He it to someone. give 1000 show 150 send 50 lend 10...
11 2. Contingency Contingency, or reliability of verb construction mapping. Prepositional dative (transfer) construction give 1000 Prepositional dative (transfer) construction post 10
12 2. Contingency Contingency, or reliability of verb construction mapping. Prepositional dative (transfer) construction Other constructions give other verbs 3000 Prepositional dative (transfer) construction Other constructions post 10 3 other verbs 3990
13 2. Contingency Contingency, or reliability of verb construction mapping. ΔP (construction verb) = a/(a+b) c/(c+d) Prepositional dative (transfer) construction Other constructions give a c other verbs b d
14 The model Based on a probabilistic model of early argument structure learning [Alishahi & Stevenson, 2008] Simulates the process of learning constructions in two languages
