Description

: The principle of economy, rooted in the broader concept of linguistic 
efficiency, plays a pivotal role in language learning. It refers to the idea that 
languages tend to evolve and adapt towards forms that require less effort, 
whether in terms of pronunciation, structure, or cognitive processing. This article 
explores the application of this principle in language acquisition, focusing on
how learners and educators can optimize learning strategies for more efficient 
and effective outcomes. By understanding how the principle of economy 
manifests in natural language use, learners can streamline their approach and 
educators can develop better instructional methodologies.
