The role of the lexicon.

The article discusses the role of the lexicon in the exoskeletal approach to grammar proposed by Lohndal and Putnam. The authors argue that this approach can be used to analyze data from diverse populations and eliminate the need for specific mechanisms like Feature Reassembly in second language acquisition. However, the article raises questions about how the exoskeletal model can account for the mapping of lexical items to features, as this process is not made explicit. The article also examines learning tasks in second language acquisition and how they relate to the exoskeletal approach. Overall, the article highlights the need for further research and collaboration in understanding the role of the lexicon and features in language acquisition. [Extracted from the article]
