Input Processing Principles
The Primacy of Content Words
Learners process content words in the
input before anything else.
The Lexical Preference
Learners will process lexical items for meaning before grammatical forms when both encode the same semantic ("real
world") information.
The Preference for Non redundancy
Learners are more likely to process non-redundant meaningful grammatical markers before they process
redundant meaningful markers.
The Meaning before Nonmeaning
. Learners are more likely to process meaningful grammatical markers before nonmeaningful grammatical
markers.
The First Noun
. Learners tend to process the first noun or pronoun
they encounter in a sentence as the subject.
The L1 Transfer
Learners begin acquisition with L 1 parsing procedures.
The Event Probability
Learners may rely on event probabilities, where
possible, instead of the First-Noun Principle to interpret sentences
The Contextual Constraint
. Learners may rely less on the First Noun
Principle (or LI transfer) if preceding context constrains the possible interpretation of a clause or sentence.
The Lexical Semantics
Learners may rely on lexical semantics, where
possible, instead of the First-Noun Principle to interpret sentences
The Sentence Location
Learners tend to process items in sentence initial position before those in final position and those in medial position.
