Subject: General Cognitive Development and Language Acquisition

Colegas e Professora Vera,

Aqui vai um texto sobre a relação entre o desenvolvimento da ‘general cognitive’ e aquisição da primeira língua’, que Little (1997 p:9) aborda em seu texto 'Towards greater learner autonomy in the foreign language classroom', um texto meu antigo, que infelizmente, não tenho referência bibliográfica. Leiam, por favor e façam os comentários:

“Humans evolved brain circuitry, mostly in the left hemisphere surrounding the sylvian fissure, that appears to be designed for language, though how exactly their internal wiring gives rise to rules of language is unknown (Zurif). The brain mechanisms underlying language are not just those allowing us to be smart in general.

Strokes often leave adults with catastrophic losses in language (Zurif, Pinker, 1994a), though not necessarily impaired in other aspects of intelligence, such as those measured on the nonverbal parts of IQ tests

There are syndromes showing the opposite dissociation, where intact language coexists with severe retardation. These cases show that language development does not depend on fully functioning general intelligence.”

Assim, podemos concluir que não há uma relação direta entre gneral cognitive development and language acquisition???
O que vocês acham?

Micheline
