*tabula rasa - not written table (from Latin word),a condition like a blank sheet of white paper (by John Locke)

*emergentism - a perspective that questions holds that the complexity of language, like any other human ability, emerges from relatively simple developmental processes being exposed to a massive and complex environment.

*nativist - a school of thought that rests on the assertion that language acquisition is innately (genetically) determined, and that human beings are therefor predisposed to a systemic perception of language.

*parameters - characteristics of human language (in Universal Grammar) that vary across languages; built-in options, settings, or values that allow for cross- linguistic variation.

*imitation - the copying of patterns of activity and language of other group or individual.

*bilingualism - the habitual use of two languages

*overgeneralization - the process of generalizing a particular rule or item in the second language, irrespective of the native beyond conventional rules language, or boundaries.

*pragmatics - conventional for conveying and interpreting the meaning of linguistic strings within their contexts and settings.

I upload this file instead of typing it since I'm not sure that it would be shown correctly.

Hi, seungeun!
Your group "Language Aquisition" is very interesting...Frnakly speaking.. a little difficult to solve. I think the level of vocabulary is not easy, and very philosophical, but some words are very familiar to me because my major is ethics eduacatio. For example, "tabula rasa" by John Locke, Enlish philosopher, is well explained! Of course, it is not English but as you said it was Latin word, and in additon to "pragmatics" which is also difficult to explain but you did well!
Thanks for a job well done!
Have a good day!

1. This person said like this "It seems to me that the nature of the basic paradox is in the fact that some proponents of cognitive "
2. A language cannot be taught without an underlying general conception of what language is. The name of this Theory is Linguistic Theory.
3. By the middle of the 20th century cognitive psychologists like Vygotsky and Piaget bring up theories that help to explain the limited effectiveness of the traditional prescriptive and mechanistic approaches to language teaching. These theories serve as a basis for the new natural-communicative approaches.
4. The grammar-translation method (18th, 19th and early 20th century), for example, is an early method based on the assumptions that language is primarily graphic, that the main purpose of second language study is to build knowledge of the structure of the language either as a tool for literary research and translation or for the development of the learner's logical powers, and that the process of second language learning must be deductive, requires effort, and must be carried out with constant reference to the learner's native language.
5. The audiolingual approach, which was very popular from the 1940s through the 1960s, is based in structural linguistics (structuralism) and behavioristic psychology (Skinner's behaviorism), and places heavy emphasis on spoken rather than written language, and on the grammar of particular languages, stressing habit formation as a mode of learning.

<vertical line>
1. It is supposed to amalgamate meanings of each category. what is the name of this rule?
2. cyclic rule must be applied from the bottom most node up to the top S node.
3. Situational Language Teaching evolved in the United Kingdom while a parallel method, Audio-Lingualism, emerged in the United States. In the middle-methods period, a variety of methods were proclaimed as successors to the then prevailing Situational Language Teaching and Audio-Lingual methods.
4. Teacher roles are auto-hypnotist and authority figure.
Learner roles are relaxer and true-believer. what is this method?
5. Teacher roles are commander and action monitor.
Learner roles are order taker and performer. what is this method?

Seungeun, HI. You asked me to lend you my book about English education, but you did not borrow my book. Where did you find these words? It was interesting to solve this puzzle. Thank you Seungeun and Yunhee for making this. :-)
