While some findings show that advanced learners can indeed achieve convergent, native-like competence with formal syntactic properties (even when these are underdetermined by the input), other findings suggest that they can…

Peer reviewedGass, Susan M.; Lakshmanan, Usha – Second Language Research, 1991
Argues that, when considering subject pronouns, one must examine the input to the learner.

Data suggest that considering principles of Universal Grammar devoid of contest is insufficient for…
