15 Norbert Schmitt, Vocabulary in Language Teaching (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000) 143. Schmitt's main reason for believing that vocabulary knowledge can help grammar acquisition is "that knowing the words in a text. . . permits learners to understand the meaning of the discourse, which in turn allows the grammatical patterning to become more transparent" (ibid.).
