What is The Structure of Elementary Learner Language: a Semantic Approach to Its Description about?
Although very simple linguistic varieties of languages like, for instance, learner languages, are assumed to be regularly structured systems, they cause particular problems in the description of their structural properties. Form-oriented approaches, applying the analytical procedures ofPSG, may produce adequate grammars of momentary stages of inter languages. They are, however, not suited for an integrated modeling of both form AND function of a given structural device, nor do they provide an appropriate coherent frame for related descriptions of subsequent interlanguages or of other sorts of interrelated variants of a language. UG-based models, on the other hand, run the risk of being substantially underdetermined by elementary learner varieties, to say the least. This paper discusses a theoretical frame for the integrated semantic and syntactic reconstruction of elementary L2 systems which, at the same time, provides the possibility of being extended in a natural way to fit the needs of more elaborate and complex grammars. Rooted in the basic semantic structures of sentences, it supplies the analyst with a general level of comparison independent of the formal features of differen
