Perceptual Modalities

The failure of the method notion in second language teaching has been attributed to a series of valid pedagogical and socioeducational factors. The concept of neurological bimodality, which posits that effective language learning in a classroom environment requires the utilization of the perceptual modalities associated with each cerebral hemisphere, offers a more fundamental, neurologically related diagnosis of this failure. This paper looks at the historiography of language teaching theories from the perspective of bimodality, and then concludes with specific suggestions vis-à-vis the kinds of research directions that might empirically substantiate the usefulness of this concept for second language acquisition in a classroom environment.

Il Y A

Después de que Talmy (1985) y Slobin (2004) identificaran la existencia de tendencias en la conceptualización y la lexicalización de eventos de movimiento en las distintas lenguas, ha habido mucha investigación en esta materia en distintas áreas: Lingüística, Traducción, Adquisición de la Lengua Materna o Extranjera y Didáctica de las lenguas extranjeras. Como señalaba Slobin, la expresión del movimiento puede hacerse según las lenguas mediante la codificación de la trayectoria del movimiento o de la manera del movimiento en el verbo (Talmy), pero este no es el ´unico factor que permite explicitar cierta información o dejar otra implícita y conseguir un enunciado totalmente aceptable en una lengua. Nuestro objetivo es trasladar este tipo de conocimiento léxico a un diccionario sintáctico-combinatorio bilingüe, TACTICOMB, para una clase semántica de verbos que no parece implicar, en sus significados más "literales" ninguna combinatoria restringida (colocaciones), como la que puede verse en la mayoría de diccionarios de combinatoria. After Talmy (1985) and Slobin (2004) highlighted the existence of tendencies in conceptualization and lexicalization of motion events in languages, there has been a lot of research on this topic in different areas: Linguistics, Translation Studies, First and Second Language Acquisition or Second Language Teaching. As Talmy points out, the expression of motion has different tendencies in languages from highlighting the trajectory of motion to highlighting the manner of motion in the verb, but this is not the only factor (linguistic) that allows to make some notions explicit or to keep others implicit, in a discursively acceptable utterance (Slobin). Our aim is to try to transfer this kind of lexical knowledge into a bilingual syntactic-combinatorial dictionary, TACTICOMB, through the class of motion verbs that do not seem to involve, in their “literal” senses, a restricted combinatory (collocations) as appears in many combinatory dictionaries. Après les études de Talmy (1985) et de Slobin (2004) montrant les tendances dans la conceptualisation et la lexicalisation des procès de mouvement dans les langues, il y a eu de nombreuses recherches à ce sujet provenant de la Linguistique, la Traduction, l’Acquisition de la langue maternelle et étrangère ou la Didactique des langues étrangères. Comme le signale Talmy, l’expression du mouvement se fait différemment selon les langues, elles expriment dans le verbe soit la trajectoire, soit la manière du mouvement. Or ce n’est pas le seul facteur qui détermine la confluence d’información sur le mouvement dans un énoncé totalement acceptable dans la langue (Slobin). Notre objectif est de transposer ce type de connaissance lexicale à un dictionnaire syntactico-combinatoire bilingue, TACTICOMB. On l’illustrera pour la classe de verbes de mouvement qui ne semblent pas impliquer de combinatoire restreinte, dans leurs acceptions « littérales », comme c’est le cas pour beaucoup des dictionnaires de combinatoire.
