This article investigates the role in learning of rotelearned formulas or chunks. We examined data from a longitudinal study of 16 child beginner classroom learners of French for occurrences of three chunks, against which we first tried out definitional criteria. We then tracked these forms for 2 years to chart their breakdown and explore their contribution to the development of a creative language capacity. Our data showed that most of the learners not only gradually "unpacked" their early chunks, but also used parts of them productively in the generation of new utterances. These findings demonstrated that rotelearning of formulas and the construction of rules are not independent processes, but interact and actively feed into one another.
