Isi artikel

Child first-language (Ll) learners frequently use the definite article in referential indefinite contexts, that is, with nouns appearing in the discourse for the first time, where adults use the indefinite article. Adult second-language (L2) learners also overgeneralize the definite article. Research reported here shows 30 L2 learners use the in referential indefinite contexts at significantly higher rates than in nonreferential contexts. Thus, both Ll and L2learners may share an initial hypothesis associating the with referential nouns. This evidence of a strategy common to Ll and L2learners invites reinterpretation of both Ll and L2 acquisition data.
