Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the issue of sexual brains in language acquisition from an etiological perspective. In a sense, the etiological scrutiny of sexual brain will enhance our understanding of brain functioning in order to avoid the totally abstract assumptions pioneered by numerous scholars in second language acquisition (SLA). To achieve the aforementioned aim, the current work taking a conservative approach holds that male-female interactional differences are primarily nature-based in language acquisition, for “individuals are initially affected by biology, before societal constructs can have any influence on them” (Lewin, 2003, p. 3).
