Can’t See the Phrase for the Words: Attention and Lexical Acquisition
Original language description
The present contribution focuses on the question of whether lexical items can be recorded in memory incidentally, without conscious awareness. In keeping with cognitive-linguistic usage-based models of language learning, it is assumed that the acquisition of language relies heavily on input, whose elements must be memorized. Elements of input are any language forms found in input to which learners are exposed. These forms include not only single words but also longer phrases, and these pose a particular learning challenge, as they do not tend to be as inherently salient as individual lexical items. Because most formulaic phrases do not normally attract attention, extracting them from the input cannot rely on conscious awareness. Learning formulaic sequences will be demonstrated to be contingent on unconscious perception sensitive to frequency effects. A brief discussion of memory retention will be given to explain how even a single encounter of a lexical item, whether or not mediated by conscious attention, lays down a lasting trace in memory.
