CONCEPTUAL RELATIVITY OF MORPHOLOGICAL AND LEXICAL PRIMING IN DEVELOPING LANGUAGE SKILLS IN NON-NATIVE LEARNERS
Keywords:
Morphology, priming, grammar, language acquisitionAbstract
This article discusses previous researches conducted on the influence of
priming on the acquisition of English as a second language, and its lesser known however
greater relevance to the state of applicability of English language in context construction.
At the end of this article, the discrepancies and similarities of morphological and lexical
priming are supported through other researches providing findings to further support the
hypothesis that lexical priming offers higher significance and greater intensity of strength
of influence in terms of improving English language compared to morphological priming.
