Subsequent sections provide a description of learner language, account for the role of the linguistic environment, examine the learner's internal mechanisms, explore individual differences in language learning, and review the expanding research on classroom second language acquisition.

It also offers new perspectives toward our understanding of the relationship between first and second language acquisition, Universal Grammar (UG), and the target language input. Specifically, examination of the L2 development of pied-piping and preposition stranding in English questions and relative clauses shows that the required preposition is frequently omitted by learners who have demonstrated accurate subcategorization knowledge of verbal complements in related declarative constructions.

The `null-prep' data in the L2 grammar leads to an important cross-linguistic investigation of this largely ignored syntactic phenomenon in the world's languages; it also motivates exploration of the complex English input learners receive as positive evidence. An analysis of null-prep, piping and stranding is posited, including the relevant principles and parameters of UG involved. Based on this linguistic analysis, alternative explanations for the L2 phenomenon are offered, representing challenges to UG and markedness-based accounts of second language acquisition. Such challenges will be of interest to linguists as well as to students, teachers, reseachers and scholars interested in second language acquisition, particularly in its relationship to UG.

INTRODUCTION The theory of Universal Grammar (UG) as explicated e.

In Chomsky, 1986, has led to explosive developments in the study of natural language as well as to significant advances in the study of first language (L I) acquisition. Most recently. The theory of UG has led to important theore tical and empirical advances in the field of adult second language (L2) acquisition as well. Drivers model idu 2850ug 56g 1. The principle impetus for this development can be traced to the work in linguistics which shifted the study 'from behavior or the products of behavior to states of the mind/brain that enter into behavior' (Chomksy.

Grammars within this framework are conceived of as theoretical accounts of 'the state of the mind/brain of the person who knows a particular language' (Chomsky. Research within fields of language acquisition seeks to isolate and specify the properties of the underlying competence necessary for language learning.
