Résumé

This paper raises linguistic questions pertinent to the context of L2 acquisition, such as the role of input in the development of English as an L2 both at the early stages of life and in adulthood, in light of the Theory of Principles and Parameters (CHOMSKY, 1981, 1986, 1988, 1995). Towards the end of this paper, I entertain a reflection on (i) the role of input in ELT and (ii) the importance of providing the child in the bilingual context with optimal input as a means of maximizing the chances of an early learner to acquire and develop the L2, at an age in which s/he is best equipped to engage in language acquisition.
