VPW: Triangulating the Language Faculty: Unification of First and Second Language Acquisition

为了更深入地了解人类语言能力的本质，这种语言学和心理语言学的研究涉及将第一语言习得领域的基础跨语言研究成果与第二语言习得领域的平行研究成果相结合。当前的语言学理论、跨语言类型学研究以及当前语言教育学研究提出的假设和方法引领了这一研究。互动活动包括：指导研究生和本科生；教授研究生研讨会；并在美国语言学会（LSA） 1997年夏季研究所举办研讨会，为美国科学促进会年会举办研讨会，并在LSA研究所举办关于语言学女性导师的研讨会。

In order to attain further insight into the nature of the human language faculty, this linguistic and psycholinguistic research involves integration of results from basic cross-linguistic research in the area of first language acquisition with results from parallel research in the area of second language acquisition. The is being led by hypotheses and methods deriving from current linguistic theory, and typological cross-linguistic studies as well as by insights from current studies of language pedagogy. Interactive activities involve: mentoring graduate students and undergraduates; teaching a graduate seminar; and developing a workshop at the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) Summer Institute 1997, a symposium for the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting, and a workshop on female mentorship in linguistics at the LSA Institute.
