In his 1996 work most closely associated with the formal interaction hypothesis, "The role of linguistic environment in second language acquisition", [11] Long describes the kind of positive and negative evidence supplied by interlocutors during negotiations of meaning that can facilitate second language acquisition. Indirect evidence from past ...
