Sharwood Smith, Michael 2010 Metalinguistic processing and acquisition within the MOGUL frameworkThe Linguistics Enterprise: From knowledge of language to knowledge in linguistics, Everaert, Martin B.H., Tom Lentz, Hannah N.M. De Mulder, Øystein Nilsen and Arjen Zondervan (eds.), pp. 327–344 | Article
MOGUL (Modular On-line Growth and Use of Language) is a framework that builds on Jackendoff’s views about the language faculty. Jackendoff’s approach not only has ‘psychological’ reality in that it claims to account for linguistic knowledge in the individual and the logical problem of language… read more
Researchers in the field of language acquisition may adopt various particular theoretical approaches to the description and explanation of linguistic phenomena. They need this theory to describe the nature of what is or is not undergoing change over time. However linguistic theory normally makes no… read more
Sharwood Smith, Michael and John Truscott 2010 Consciousness and language: A processing perspectiveNew Horizons in the Neuroscience of Consciousness, Perry, Elaine K., Daniel Collerton, Fiona E.N. LeBeau and Heather Ashton (eds.), pp. 129–138 | Article
Our conscious control of language and its acquisition is strictly limited. A processing-oriented perspective to explain this will be outlined called MOGUL according to which some linguistic processes are inherently unconscious while others can be either conscious or not. The former involve… read more
Snape, Neal, Yan-kit Ingrid Leung and Michael Sharwood Smith 2009 IntroductionRepresentational Deficits in SLA: Studies in honor of Roger Hawkins, Snape, Neal, Yan-kit Ingrid Leung and Michael Sharwood Smith (eds.), pp. xv–xxv | Article
Sharwood Smith, Michael 2007 Understanding attrition within a MOGUL frameworkLanguage Attrition: Theoretical perspectives, Köpke, Barbara, Monika S. Schmid, Merel Keijzer and Susan Dostert (eds.), pp. 39–51 | Article
Linguistically-based accounts of attrition may give us an analysis of the properties of language observed at particular points in time. Then, by comparing states, we may try to explain the transition between them but, still, discussion concerning the actual mechanisms of change is typically left… read more
Sharwood Smith, Michael and John Truscott 2006 Full transfer full access: A processing-oriented interpretationPaths of Development in L1 and L2 acquisition: In honor of Bonnie D. Schwartz, Unsworth, Sharon, Teresa Parodi, Antonella Sorace and Martha Young-Scholten (eds.), pp. 201–216 | Article
Escudero, Paola and Michael Sharwood Smith 2001 Reinventing the native speaker: or ‘What you never wanted to know about the native speaker so never dared to ask.’EUROSLA Yearbook: Volume 1 (2001), Foster-Cohen, Susan H. and Anna Nizegorodcew (eds.), pp. 275–286 | Article
Precise definition of the term, ‘native speaker’, is extremely difficult and therefore usually avoided even though the concept is vital in SLA as in many other domains dealing with language ability. Most researchers rely on the assumption that there is a common understanding of what a… read more
Eubank, Lynn, Larry Selinker and Michael Sharwood Smith 1995 The current state of interlanguage: IntroductionThe Current State of Interlanguage: Studies in honor of William E. Rutherford, Eubank, Lynn, Larry Selinker and Michael Sharwood Smith (eds.), pp. 1–10 | Article
van Buren, Paul en Michael Sharwood Smith 1988 De Rol van het Deelverzamelingsprincipe in de Tweede-Taalverwerving.Taalverwerving in onderzoek, pp. 48–57 | Article
The subset principle, recently formulated by Wexler and Manzini as a theorem in L1 acquisition, can be roughly described as a learning function linking a set of input data to a grammar G which generates the "smallest language" compatible with such a set. This property of G guarantees that the… read more
