Functional categories in L2 acquisition: Evidence of presence is not necessarily presence of evidence
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (4):714-715 (1996)
Abstract
Epstein et al. fail to show that L2 learners have full access to UG because they do not explain the relationship between UG and functional categories (FCs). Nor do they provide an explanation of why learners with (supposed) full knowledge of FCs fail to use them in a native-like way.My notes
