    • Older age of onset in child L2 acquisition can be facilitative: evidence from the acquisition of English passives by Spanish natives. 

      Rothman, Jason; Long, Drew; Iverson, Michael; Judy, Tiffany; Lingwall, Anne; Chakravarty, Tushar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-26)
      We report a longitudinal comprehension study of (long) passive constructions in two native-Spanish child groups differing by age of initial exposure to L2 English (young group: 3;0–4;0; older group: 6;0–7;0), where amount of input, L2 exposure environment, and socioeconomic status are controlled. Data from a forced-choice task show that both groups comprehend active sentences, not passives, initially ...
    • Eventive and Stative Passives and Copula Selection in Canadian and American Heritage Speaker Spanish. 

      Valenzuela, Elena; Iverson, Michael; Rothman, Jason; Borg, Kristina; Pascual y Cabo, Diego; Pinto, Manuela (Chapter; Bokkapittel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Spanish captures the difference between eventive and stative passives via an obligatory choice between two copula; verbal passives take the copula ser and adjectival passives take the copula estar. In this study, we compare and contrast US and Canadian heritage speakers of Spanish on their knowledge of this difference in relation to copula choice in Spanish. The backgrounds of the target groups ...
    • The Acquisition of Clitics in L2 Spanish: Examining Restrictions on Clitic Solidarity. 

      Halloran, Becky; Rothman, Jason (Chapter; Bokkapittel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      This study examines the mental representation of clitic object pronouns in English L2 Spanish speakers of beginning, intermediate and advanced proficiencies. We present the results of a scalar grammaticality judgment task, which examines knowledge of clitic placement in both Exceptional Case Marking (ECM) verb constructions and non-ECM (finite and modal + infinitival) constructions. Our findings ...
    • What does current generative theory have to say about the explicit-implicit debate?

    • Terminology Matters! Why Difference Is Not Incompleteness and How Early Child Bilinguals Are Heritage Speakers. 

      Kupisch, Tanja; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This paper integrates research on child simultaneous bilingual (2L1) acquisition more directly into the heritage language (HL) acquisition literature. The 2L1 literature mostly focuses on development in childhood, whereas heritage speakers (HSs) are often tested at an endstate in adulthood. However, insights from child 2L1 acquisition must be considered in HL acquisition theorizing precisely ...
    • Hovuddrag i utviklinga av norsk ordlaging 

      Conzett, Philipp (Chapter; Bokkapittel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Ordlaging fører til endringar i ordtilfanget, men det er forska lite på korleis sjølve ordlagingssystemet endrar seg (jf. Munske 2002: 23). Denne forsøminga er til dels ein konsekvens av dreiinga som skjedde innanfor språkvitskapen i førre hundreåret mot meir strukturalistisk-synkrone tilnærmingar (jf. sst.). Målet med denne artikkelen er å skissera nokre av hovudlinene som norsk ordlaging har utvikla ...
    • Enchaînement, liaison, accentuation chez les apprenants norvégophones 

      Andreassen, Helene N.; Lyche, Chantal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Given that their L1, Norwegian, and their L2, English, are lexical stress languages, Norwegian speakers will equally tend to stress lexical words during the course of acquisition of L3 French, insuring the prosodic autonomy of each word. In the present paper, we show that this strategy slows down the acquisition of two external sandhi phenomena in French, i.e. liaison and final consonant linking. ...
    • Future time reference in Lule Saami, with some remarks on Finnish 

      Ylikoski, Jussi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The paper provides an account of future time reference (FTR) in Lule Saami. While previous accounts of the language claim that the Lule Saami <i>galggat</i> ‘shall; must; intend’ is a future auxiliary, there are two other potential candidates for what might be called a future tense as well. On the basis of actual language use, the potential mood in Lule Saami does not always refer to states of ...

    • Spøkelsesfiske, makrellfotball og traktoregg: norske sammensetninger og konseptuell integrasjon 

      Nesset, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Denne artikkelen presenterer en analyse av norske sammensetninger i lys av Fauconnier og Turners (2002) teori om konseptuell integrasjon. Det argumenteres for at leddene i sammensetninger er “rombyggere” (“space builders”) som aktiverer ulike “innputtrom”, og at sammensetninger er “blandede rom” (“blends”) som integrerer informasjon fra innputtrommene. I forlengelsen av denne analysen lanseres ...
    • A FOOTnote to the Jers: The Russian Trochee-Iamb Shift and Cognitive Linguistics 

      Nesset, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This article explores the fall and vocalization of the jers, making ve claims. First, it is shown how the jer shift can be analyzed in terms of a trochaic pa ern, whereby a jer fell unless it headed a foot. Second, the foot-based approach is argued to be superior to the traditional counting mechanism postulated for the jer shift in that the foot-based approach avoids ad hoc stipulations and facilitates ...
    • Ord- og leddstilling i akkusativ med infinitiv i mellommnorsk 

      Mørck, Endre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Undersøkelsen bygger på 3413 mellomnorske diplom med 1114 eksempel på akkusativ med infinitiv. i artikkelen analyseres akkkusativ med infinitiv som en iP. infinitiven står vanligvis etter et setningsadverb på sin opphavlige plass i VP, men flytter i noen tilfeller forbi et setningsadverb til kjerneposisjonen i iP. akkusativleddet er normalt flytta til spesifikatorposisjonen i iP, og vi kan ...
    • “Rabotnul na slavu – gul’ni smelo!”: –NU- As a Universal Aspectual Marker in Non-standard Russian 

      Sokolova, Svetlana (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2015)
      This article illustrates a strong tendency in modern non-standard Russian, where verbs bearing the semelfactive marker –nu- can perform various actional functions, ranging from semelfactives to Natural Perfectives and even delimitatives. The universal character of –nu- depends on the interaction of such factors as the semantics of the suffix, the semantics of the verbal stem, and constructions.
    • “Cyclic” time in the history of Russian. Culture and language internal factors 

      Nesset, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-14)
      This article offers a diachronic analysis of the concept of “cyclic” time in Russian, more specifically of temporal adverbials such as <i>utrom</i> ‘in the morning’ and <i>vesnoj</i> ‘in the spring’ that refer to the diurnal and annual temporal cycles in nature. It is argued that evidence from diachrony bears on important theoretical questions: Is the sensitivity to “cyclic” time in language due to ...
    • Masked constituent priming of English compounds in native and non-native speakers 

      González Alonso, Jorge; Baquero Castellanos, Silvia; Müller, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-19)
      The present research explores the degree of morphological structure of compound words in the native and non-native lexicons, and provides additional data on the access to these representations. Native and non-native speakers (L1 Spanish) of English were tested using a lexical decision task with masked priming of the compound’s constituents in isolation, including two orthographic conditions to control ...
    • Coming of age in L3 initial stages transfer models: Deriving developmental predictions and looking towards the future 

      González Alonso, Jorge; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-23)
      <b>Aims: </b>Over the past decade in particular, formal linguistic work within L3 acquisition has concentrated on hypothesizing and empirically determining the source of transfer from previous languages—L1, L2 or both—in L3 grammatical representations. In view of the progressive concern with more advanced stages, we aim to show that focusing on L3 initial stages should be one continued priority of ...
