  2. Diane Larsen-Freeman - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Larsen-Freeman

    In 1997, she wrote a seminal article in which she suggested the application of complex/dynamic systems theory to study second language acquisition. [6] A book of papers in her honor, Complexity Theory and Language Development, was published in 2017.

  3. Developmental linguistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_linguistics

    Developmental linguistics is the study of the development of linguistic ability in an individual, particularly the acquisition of language in childhood. It involves research into the different stages in language acquisition, language retention, and language loss in both first and second languages, in addition to the area of bilingualism. Before ...

  4. Comprehensible output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensible_output

    In the field of second language acquisition, there are many theories about the most effective way for language learners to acquire new language forms. One theory of language acquisition is the comprehensible output hypothesis. Developed by Merrill Swain, the comprehensible output (CO) hypothesis states that learning takes place when learners ...

  5. M-theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory

    In string theory, spacetime is ten-dimensional (nine spatial dimensions, and one time dimension), while in M-theory it is eleven-dimensional (ten spatial dimensions, and one time dimension). In order to describe real physical phenomena using these theories, one must therefore imagine scenarios in which these extra dimensions would not be ...

  6. 11th dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_dimension

    11th dimension may refer to: 11-dimensional supergravity , a field theory that combines the principles of supersymmetry and general relativity. 11-dimensional spacetime, which appears in M-theory , a proposed "master theory" that unifies the five superstring theories

  7. Theories of second-language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theories_of_second...

    The main purpose of theories of second-language acquisition (SLA) is to shed light on how people who already know one language learn a second language. The field of second-language acquisition involves various contributions, such as linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education. These multiple fields ...

  8. Language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_acquisition

    Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language. In other words, it is how human beings gain the ability to be aware of language, to understand it, and to produce and use words and sentences to communicate. Language acquisition involves structures, rules, and representation.

  9. Supermembranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermembranes

    Supermembranes are hypothesized objects that live in the 11-dimensional theory called M-Theory and should also exist in eleven-dimensional supergravity. Supermembranes are a generalisation of superstrings to another dimension. Supermembranes are 2-dimensional surfaces. For example, they can be spherical or shaped like a torus.
