A result of the acquired system, without interference from the learned system.The natural order was determined as a result of the morpheme order studies. |
| affective filter hypothesis | Includes motivation, ego permeability, ambiguity tolerance, attitude, introversion/extroversion, self-confidence, and anxiety. If the filter is up, input is prevented from passing through and no acquisition can take place (Input will not reach language acquisition device).The aff. filter is responsible for individual variation in SLA. Child lang. acquisition does not have an affective filter. |
