Charlène Gilbert – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Research in first-language (L1) sentence processing has found evidence that language comprehenders use binding condition A as a filter to rule out noun phrases that are binding-inaccessible before proceeding with the task of finding the correct antecedent. Sturt (2013) notes that this strategy does not appear to apply to advanced speakers of…

Gregory D. Keating – Language Learning, 2025
For Spanish nouns, masculine gender is unmarked and feminine is marked. Effects of markedness on gender agreement processing are inconsistent, possibly owing to differences between online methods. This study presents a reanalysis of eye-tracking data from Keating's (2022) study on the processing of noun-adjective gender agreement in speakers of…

Panagiota Margaza; Anna Gavarró – Second Language Research, 2024
Greek and Spanish are two languages that display a similar subject distribution with unergative/unaccusative verbs, but different word orders with focused subjects (SV in Greek and VS in Spanish). Here we consider subject-verb word order in second language (L2) Greek and L2 Spanish in order to test the Interface Hypothesis (IH). To this end, we…

Agnes Strandberg – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2025
As teachers' experiences are a prerequisite for developing an understanding of the challenges of teaching, their reflections on the potential of using authentic text in L1 grammar teaching deserves closer attention. This paper presents a focus-group study with six Swedish L1 teachers at upper secondary level during an intervention, in which they…

Nancy J. Reyes – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The present study examined the acquisition of Spanish grammatical gender in 22 bilingual children (aged 5;0 to 13;5 years; Med=9;4 years; STD=2.3) who were born and raised in the United States and acquired Spanish as heritage speakers--that is, they learned Spanish, the minority language, in a home setting (Valdes, 2001). Each of the child…

Janne Bondi Johannessen; Björn Lundquist; Yulia Rodina; Eirik Tengesdal; Nina Hagen Kaldhol; Emel Türker; Valantis Fyndanis – Second Language Research, 2025
The present study examines grammatical gender knowledge in offline production (gender marking on indefinite articles) and online gender processing (visual world paradigm) in adult second language (L2) learners of Norwegian with three different first languages (L1s): Greek, Russian, and Turkish. In particular, it investigates the role of the…

van Rijt, Jimmy H. M.; Wijnands, Astrid; Coppen, Peter-Arno J. M. – Research Papers in Education, 2022
L1 grammar teaching worldwide often takes the form of traditional grammar teaching with decontextualized parsing exercises and rules of thumb. Some researchers have proposed enriching such forms of grammar teaching by relating traditional grammatical concepts to underlying metaconcepts from linguistic theory. The merits of such an approach have…

Jiang, Canzhong; Wen, Xu – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2022
Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has benefited quite a lot from Construction Grammar. Most of the previous SLA researches adopting a constructionist approach have been primarily engaged in issues pertinent to the relevance of construction in SLA, the process of second language (L2) construction learning, and factors affecting L2 construction…

Jessica Velez-Aviles – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In two visual world eye-tracking experiments, this dissertation examines the role of literacy on predictive processing during spoken language comprehension. Previous studies have shown that comprehenders can use morphosyntactic cues available in the input to generate predictions about upcoming information. Recent key findings also suggest that…

Hanoon Umarlebbe, Jameela; Binti Mat Said, Seriaznita – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2021
The first part of this paper discusses the rationale for universal grammar (UG) theory to explain first language acquisition. It also illustrates the issues of language acquisition Chomsky argued which could not be supported by behaviourist theories and shows how Chomsky proposed a solution to this problem through his theoretical model of…

Staples, Shelley; Gray, Bethany; Biber, Douglas; Egbert, Jesse – Applied Linguistics, 2023
Grammatical complexity has been established as a key indicator of language and writing development (Ortega 2003; Bulté and Housen, 2014; Crossley and McNamara 2014). The present study uses the Register-Functional approach to complexity (Biber et al. 2022) to compare the development of L1 English and L2 English writers across year of study and…

Gudmestad, Aarnes; Edmonds, Amanda – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
In the current study, we examined the role of first-language (L1) influence on the additional-language development of grammatical gender marking in Spanish. The participants were L1 speakers of English or French (N = 215), who were learning Spanish and who were at three instructional levels. The data came from their use of gender marking in…

Hurtado, Irati; Montrul, Silvina – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Spanish monolingual speakers often produce recipient ("Pedro le da un lápiz a María") and nonrecipient constructions ("Antonio le lava la camiseta a Carmen") doubled by a dative clitic. Second language speakers and heritage speakers usually avoid clitics. This study examined whether structural priming could effectively increase…
