preduzea
Preduzea is a theoretical concept in cognitive linguistics that describes an early, preconscious stage of language acquisition. It refers to a preparatory mode in which learners absorb statistical regularities and structural cues from linguistic input long before they can articulate rules or grammar. In this sense, preduzea sits between perceptual discrimination of sounds and explicit rule formation, helping to align phonology, morphology, and syntax with an individual’s cognitive expectations.
Origin and scope: The term was coined in the early 21st century by researchers exploring the interface
Characteristics and mechanisms: Preduzea is characterized by rapid, implicit learning from exposure, sensitivity to probabilistic cues,
Evidence and methods: Research employs artificial grammar tasks, cross-situational word learning experiments, and neuroimaging to observe
Applications and limitations: In education, recognizing a preduzea phase suggests the value of rich, varied linguistic
