"From Collocations to Constructions:  Ex ploring Generalization During L1 and L2 Processing"
Friday, October 27   9:00–10:30 a.m. EDT
Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library

Speakers constantly innovate in their use of language. However, ling uistic innovation is not generated in a vacuum,
but is built throug h incremental deviations from conventional usage. Previous research indi cates that analogy is a productive mechanism for language innovations, w ith frequent and prototypical exemplars serving as the basis for general ization. Such similarity-based generalization is not only an important p art of L1 speakers' language use, but it may also be an important mechan ism for L2 users who are still increasing their repertoire in their non- native language. But little is still known about how analogical innovati ons are processed by L1 and L2 speakers. In this talk, Manuel F. Pulido will present data from three experiments that examined how L1 and L2 spe akers process novel multiword units that vary in their degree of related ness to previously known verb-noun collocations. In Experiment 1, he wil l present data from acceptability judgements and ERPs in L1 speakers, as sociated with the processing of conventional collocations and novel mult iword units. Two additional experiments examined L2
speakers'  proc essing of novel multiword units that do not have a direct equivalent in their L1. Experiment 2 follows the same methodology as the first experim ent, to examine the processing of novel multiword units that are related to familiar L2 collocations. Importantly, these L2 collocations are lex ically incongruent with their L1 equivalent (i.e., they have no literal translation), so that generalization must also rely on knowledge of L2 l exical units. Finally, Experiment 3 examines L2 speakers' levels of reli ance on frequent prototypes to learn and generalize semantic categories for which no equivalent category exists in their L1. Altogether, the dat a suggest that successful L2 generalization is possible even shortly aft er learning, and is partly relies on similarity to prototypes.
