Martin J. Koch; Werner Greve; Kristin Kersten – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2025
Research suggests that heterogeneous life experiences (e.g. multilingualism) might facilitate the development of mental flexibility. The current paper presents the conceptual replication of a study originally presented by Greve and colleagues [Greve, W., Koch, M., Rasche, V., and Kersten, K. (2021). Extending the Scope of the 'Cognitive Advantage'…

Agnieszka Ewa Krautz – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Feeling like a different person when speaking different languages has been investigated before and attributed to several linguistic as well as psychological factors. Language proficiency, the context of language acquisition, personality traits, emotional intelligence, and the topic of conversation as well as the interlocutor have been found to…

Anastasia Paspali; Theodoros Marinis; Artemis Alexiadou – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2025
The acquisition of voice in Greek remains understudied, especially in heritage populations. Voice in Greek poses a challenging acquisition task for children due to its syncretism, marking various verb classes as well as passives. The present study explores the acquisition of anticausatives, reflexives, and passives in 6-to-8-year-old monolingual…

Zielinska, Anna; Ksiezyk, Felicja – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2021
The main objective of the article is to illustrate how language ideologies and language management at the macro-level (state language policy), micro-level (in families) and meso-level (local communities) influence language change and the conceptualization of multilingualism of immigrants from Upper Silesia residing in Germany. Language biographies…

Dollmann, Jörg; Kogan, Irena; Weißmann, Markus – Applied Linguistics, 2020
Given the controversies surrounding the critical period hypothesis on second-language (L2) learning outcomes, this study focuses on the phonological aspect of language acquisition--the strength of the foreign accent in L2. Drawing on data from a large-scale representative data set on immigrant adolescents in Germany--CILS4EU-DE--we first…

This study investigated the impact of age, gender, language and acculturation choice on the sociocultural adjustment and well-being of Syrian refugees in Stuttgart, Germany. A total of 214 Syrian refugees participated in this study by filling a demographics questionnaire, the Acculturation Attitudes Scale (AAS-16), the Revised Sociocultural…

Schimke, Sarah; Dimroth, Christine – Second Language Research, 2018
In this study, verb placement with respect to negation is investigated in elicited production and elicited sentence imitation data collected with child second language (L2) learners of German. These data are compared to published data from adult L2 learners, which were collected with the same elicitation materials and were re-analysed for the…

Lorenz, Eliane; Hasai, Yevheniia; Siemund, Peter – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2021
Foreign language learners frequently use words from their previously acquired language(s) in the target language, especially if these languages are related (Ringbom, Håkan. 2001. Lexical transfer in L3 production. In Jasone Cenoz, Britta Hufeisen & Ulrike Jessner (eds.), "Cross-linguistic influence in third language acquisition:…

Willard, Jessica A.; Leyendecker, Birgit; Kohl, Katharina; Bihler, Lilly-Marlen; Agache, Alexandru – Applied Developmental Science, 2022
Can early childhood education (ECE) support the societal language development of children from linguistically diverse backgrounds? This study examined how existing variation in classroom interaction quality (CLASS Pre-K), classroom composition (percentages of children from low-income backgrounds and dual language learners [DLLs]), and duration of…

Listanti, Andrea; Torregrossa, Jacopo – First Language, 2023
Heritage language (HL) speakers seem to diverge from monolingual speakers in the acquisition of syntax-discourse interface phenomena. However, most of the studies reporting this finding do not make any distinction between different types of syntax-discourse interface structures. Therefore, it is an open question whether these structures are…

Bayram, Fatih; Rothman, Jason; Iverson, Michael; Kupisch, Tanja; Miller, David; Puig-Mayenco, Eloi; Westergaard, Marit – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2019
Determining how and why adult outcomes of heritage speaker (HS) bilingualism differ from monolinguals is difficult because it requires the reconstruction of developmental paths from end-state data. In an effort to address this issue, we examine HSs of Turkish in Germany at an early age of development (10-15 years old, n = 22), as well as…

Bittner, Dagmar; Bartz, Damaris – First Language, 2018
Studies on L1- and L2-acquisition of German and Dutch have shown that the particles "too/also" and "again" hamper the realization of finiteness while the particle "not" promotes it. In this study the authors ask whether adversative "but" also affects the realization of finiteness. By applying a…

Arens, A. Katrin; Schmidt, Isabelle; Preckel, Franzis – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
This study expanded on research on temporal relations among motivation constructs as stated by expectancy-value theory, which has so far neglected the differentiation of value facets, the examination of long time spans with multiple measurement waves, and domain-specific patterns of findings. We examined the longitudinal relations among academic…

Flores, Cristina; Santos, Ana Lúcia; Jesus, Alice; Marques, Rui – Journal of Child Language, 2017
The present study analyzes the effect of age and amount of input in the acquisition of European Portuguese as a heritage language. An elicited production task centred on mood choice in complement clauses was applied to a group of fifty bilingual children (six- to sixteen-year-olds) who are acquiring Portuguese as a minority language in a German…

Möller, Verena – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
Following recommendations by the European Commission, bilingualism has been promoted in various ways in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg.
