A question...

Hey guys,

Please look at the sentence first.

The implicational sequence of processing procedures is complemented by a more general cognitive principle, perceptual salience, allowing the learner “to identify sentence initial and final positions”. As a result, the six developmental states are defined by the five processing procedures combined with perceptual salience, predicting the structural outcomes of syntax and morphology.



"allowing" describes "perceptual salience", right?

what about "predicting"? what does it describe?



Thanks.



by the way, How do we call them in grammatical terms (-ing form)?

Thanks for answering.

So, allowing is related with perceptual saience. There is no way that allowing defines or qualifie
