Chapter 7: Input Processing in Adult SLA 1. ________ is concerned with how learners come to make form-meaning connections or parse sentences. a) Parsing c) Associative Learning theory d) The Concept-Oriented approach b) Input Processing theory 2. The implicit process of micro-second-by-micro-second computation of the syntactic structure of a sentence during real-time comprehension is called _______. a) Parsing c) Semantic Processing d) Syntactic Development b) Syntactic Projection 3. Input Processing theory was first presented in ____ by _______. a) 1976, Manfred Piemen & Lenzing c) 1996, Bill Van Patten d) 1994, Kathleen Bardovi b) 1987, Michael T. Ullman 4. The Meaning before Non-Meaning Principle asserts that learners are most likely to process a) Redundant meaningful grammatical markers before Non-Redundant meaningful grammatical markers. b) Non-Redundant meaningful grammatical markers before Redundant meaningful grammatical markers. c) Meaningful grammatical markers before non-meaningful grammatical markers. d) Lexical forms for meaning before grammatical forms. 5. When only one noun is capable of performing an action in the sentence because the meanings of the verbs place requirements on nouns for an action or event to occur, it refers to: a) The Event Probability Principle c) Contextual-Constraint Principle d) The First-Noun Principle b) The Lexical Semantics Principle 6. Input Processing theory is not: a) concerned with initial data gathering b) concerned with how learners get intake from the input c) A model of acquisition d) A research domain to processing and parsing of L2 sentences 7. IP theory offers ________ of SLA. a) Meaning-based approach b) Concept-based approach c) An input-based and input-processing perspective d) Form-Function & Form-Meaning perspective 8.

b) It deals with parsing strategies of L2 sentences. c) It studies the way grammatical roles are assigned to nouns. d) IP is one part of a complex set of processes that in acquisition. 9. ________ states that if grammatical forms express a meaning that can also be encoded lexically, they’ll only be processed when there are lexical forms to relate with them. a) The Meaning before the non-meaning principle b) The Lexical Preference Principle c) The Preference for Non-redundancy Principle d) The Sentence Location Principle 10. IP is not equivalent to noticing as it only means: a) Making form-meaning connections b) Parsing of syntactic structure c) Initial processing of data d) Becoming aware of a formal feature of language 11.

Input Processing is not a comprehensive model of acquisition instead it aims to be a theory of what happens during: a) Comprehension c) Listening d) Reading b) Speaking 13. Input Processing theory deals with the ______ L2 learners might encounter in dealing with the properties of the new language. a) Processing problems c) Production issues d) Both b & c b) Explicit processes 14.

Therefore, differ from native speakers in the moment-by-moment processing of information. a) Limited Capacity processors c) Near-native speakers d) Limited vocabulary b) Non-natives of a language 15. The model of IP is presented as ______ on the issue of whether adults engage implicit or explicit processes when learning a second language. a) Implicit process c) Neutral/agnostic d) None of them b) Explicit process 16. The ______ principle that does not override The First-Noun Principle. a) The Event-Probability Principle c) Contextual-Constraint Principle b) The Lexical Preference Principle d) The Lexical Semantics Principle

According to Input Processing theory, learners begin acquisition with native language parsing procedures. This is codified in: a) The lexical Preference Principle b) The Lexical Semantics Principle c) The L1 Transfer Principle d) The Availability of Resources Principle 20.
