 Adult L2 acquisition resembles the process of general adult learning in fields where there is no domain-specific learning system believed to exist.Theories of direct access argue that UG is still directly accessible to adult second language learners, in addition to syntactic property transfer from their L1.Evidence for this position stems from research observations that although child L1 and adult L2 grammars differ, adult L2 grammars do exhibit evidence of POS properties that cannot be linked to transfer from their native language or learning.
