dc.description.abstractThe current project investigates the L2 acquisition of focus structure in Hungarian' by native speakers of English. The study is designed to answer the question: Which is a more salient cue for English speakers to focus structure in Hungarian': position or prosody? Perceptual salience is the ease of hearing or perceiving a given linguistic feature, unit, or structure (DeKeyser and Goldschneider 2005:47). Results show no significant differences between the Position group and the Prosody group on overall accuracy scores and reaction times. However, the interaction of various linear word orders with other variables shows interesting significant results with respect the learners ' processing of word order.
