Elicitation Frame
Definition:
An elicitation frame is a fixed environment that is used for discovering or testing particular words.
Introduction:
A language associate needs to understand:
- what you want to elicit
- how you want to elicit it
Frames help you constrain and control what you elicit. They are especially used in exploring the following aspects of a language:
- Phonology
- Syntax
- Language learning
- Vocabulary
- Lexical relations
