 Māori speakers in New Zealand know about the Māori language?</p><p><em><str
 ong>Abstract</strong></em>: Most New Zealanders do not speak or understand 
 the Māori language\, yet are nonetheless exposed to the language regularly 
 in their ambient environment. Our research programme examines the degree to
  which this ambient exposure leads to implicit language knowledge. This tal
 k summarizes a series of experiments that demonstrate that non-speakers of 
 Māori who live in New Zealand have extensive implicit knowledge of Māori wo
 rdforms and phonotactics. They also have implicit knowledge about the struc
 ture of Māori words and sentences. Finally\, we show that this implicit lan
 guage can be 'awoken' in the classroom - New Zealanders with greater implic
 it knowledge have an advantage in the language-learning classroom\, if they
  decide to undertake explicit learning of the Māori language.</p><p>The lan
 guage learning abilities that have been observed in many laboratory languag
 e learning experiments are thus also reflected in the knowledge of a real l
 anguage among adults who do not speak it but have been exposed to it over y
 ears of daily life. This provides a real-world example of the impressive de
 gree to which humans automatically orient to language stimuli in their ambi
 ent environment.</p>
