Bernolet, Sarah; Hartsuiker, Robert J.; Pickering, Martin J. – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2012
Research on word production in bilinguals has often shown an advantage for cognate words. According to some accounts, this cognate effect is caused by feedback from a level that represents information about phonemes (or graphemes) to a level concerned with the word. In order to investigate whether phonological feedback influences the selection of…

Perez-Leroux, Ana Teresa; Cuza, Alejandro; Thomas, Danielle – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2011
Can transfer occur in child bilingual syntax when surface overlap does not involve the syntax-pragmatics interface? Twenty-three Spanish/English bilingual children participated in an elicited imitation study of clitic placement in Spanish restructuring contexts, where variable word order is not associated with pragmatic or semantic factors.…

Lozano, Cristobal; Mendikoetxea, Amaya – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2010
This paper investigates how syntactic knowledge interfaces with other cognitive systems by analysing the production of postverbal subjects, V(erb)-S(ubject) order, in an L1 Spanish-L2 English corpus and a comparable English native corpus. VS order in both native and L2 English is shown to be constrained by properties operating at three interfaces:…

McDonald, Janet L.; Roussel, Cristine C. – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2010
This paper explores whether the poor mastery of morphosyntax exhibited by second language (L2) learners can be tied to difficulties with non-syntactic processing. Specifically, we examine whether problems with English regular and irregular past tense are related to poor L2 phonological ability and lexical access, respectively. In Experiment 1, L2…
