Rote or Rule? Exploring the Role of Formulaic Language in Classroom ForeignLanguage Learning
Abstract
This article investigates the role in learning of rote‐learned formulas orchunks. We examined data from a longitudinal study of 16 child beginner classroom learners ofFrench for occurrences of three chunks, against which we first tried out definitional criteria. Wethen tracked these forms for 2 years to chart their breakdown and explore their contribution tothe development of a creative language capacity. Our data showed that most of the learners notonly gradually “unpacked” their early chunks, but also used parts of themproductively in the generation of new utterances. These findings demonstrated that rote‐learningof formulas and the construction of rules are not independent processes, but interact and activelyfeed into one another.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
