The goal of this paper is to extend our knowledge on the basic argument: age of acquisition–proficiency correlations through the comments on Ellen Bialystok’s original paper--The structure of age: in search of barriers to second language acquisition. On such an objection, this paper tries to demonstrate three processes of comments: theoretical background of E. Bialystok’s paper; introduction to author’s critique; arguments supporting the claim that second-language(L2) acquisition is not to be significantly constrained by the age factor that circumscribe a critical period for native-like attainment. With the assessment of E. Bialystok’s research, this paper tends to make comments on the perspective of bilingualism approach.
