The Resolution of Conflicts among Competing Systems: A Bidirectional Perspective.

Gass, Susan M.

Applied Psycholinguistics, v8 n4 p329-50 Dec 1987

Investigates the interaction of syntax, semantics, and pragamatics from the perspectives of functional constraints on sentence processing. Findings reveal that native speakers of Italian first become aware of the importance of the concept of word order in a second language before being able to determine the specifics of word order in that language.
