Historia Funcional de Morfologías Lingüísticas y su Efecto en un Ajuste Convencional

the objective of this study was to evaluate whether different kinds of functional history, during the acquisition of linguistic morphologies, either facilitate or interfere with conventional adjustment. twenty four college students were divided into three groups: contextual, supplementary and selector, on the basis of the levels of interactions proposed by ribes and lópez (1985). then, the adjustment in a conventional task was evaluated. the experiment showed that functional history that dealt with selector interaction facilitated acquisition of linguistic morphologies and their use in the conventional task, and that this effect was more salient for the speakers than for the listeners. no differences were found between contextual and supplementary training. results were discussed in terms of theoretical and methodological concerns.
