Dear LINGUIST list:
Does anyone know if it is possible for people to be able to ''fluently'' comprehend a language but not be able to (somewhat) fluently produce it? For example, I speak English and French, and although I can understand bits of Italian I am mostly lost in the language. Could someone acquire the comprehension of a language without acquiring the production in that language? When speaking of dialects in a language, the standard belief is that a person can understand multiple dialects of the same language without necessarily having the productive ability in those same dialects. Thanks and I will post a summary.
