Gavruseva, Elena – Second Language Research, 2004
This article examines the emergence of finiteness in early second language (L2) English of five consecutive bilinguals (ages 6 to 9). The departure point is Gavruseva's (2002; 2003) proposal that nonfinite root predicates result from the underspecification of syntactic aspectual heads at the initial state S0. Gavruseva's 'underspecification of…

Penke, Martina; Janssen, Ulrike; Eisenbeiss, Sonja – Brain and Language, 2004
This paper investigates the paradigmatic relations between inflected word forms (or their affixes) and the feature specifications of these elements. In two sentence-matching experiments German speakers had to decide whether sentence pairs involving inflected adjectives or determiners were identical or not. In both experiments, there was a delay…

Redmond, Sean M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
Children's productions of the affix -"ed" in past tense and past participle contexts (e.g., "the boy kicked the ball" vs. "the ball was kicked") were examined in spontaneous conversations and elicited productions. The performances of 7 children with specific language impairment (SLI) were compared with those of 2 control groups of typically…

Marshall, Chloe R.; van der Lely, Heather K. J. – Cognition, 2006
Is past tense production better modelled by a Single Mechanism or a Words and Rules model? We present data concerning a phenomenon that has not been considered by either model--regular past tense verbs with contrasting phonotactics. One set of verbs contains clusters at the inflected verb end that also occur in monomorphemic words…

Kuo, Li-jen; Anderson, Richard C. – Educational Psychologist, 2006
In the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in morphological awareness, which refers to the ability to reflect on and manipulate morphemes and word formation rules in a language. This review provides a critical synthesis of empirical studies on this topic from a broad cross-linguistic perspective. Research with children speaking several…

Lehtonen, Minna; Niska, Helge; Wande, Erling; Niemi, Jussi; Laine, Matti – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2006
The effect of word frequency on the processing of monomorphemic vs. inflected words was investigated in a morphologically relatively limited language, Swedish, with two participant groups: early Finnish-Swedish bilinguals and Swedish monolinguals. The visual lexical decision results of the monolinguals suggest morphological decomposition with…

Montgomery, James W.; Leonard, Laurence B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: This study reports the findings of an investigation designed to examine the effects of acoustic enhancement on the processing of low-phonetic-substance inflections (e.g., 3rd-person singular "-s," possessive "-s") versus a high-phonetic-substance inflection (e.g., present progressive "-ing") by children with specific language impairment…

Richardson, Jessica; Harris, Laurel; Plante, Elena; Gerken, LouAnn – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine if nonreferential morphophonological information was sufficient to facilitate the learning of gender subcategories (i.e., masculine vs. feminine) in individuals with normal language (NL) and those with a history of language-based learning disabilities (HLD). Method: Thirty-two adults…

Rule, Sarah; Marsden, Emma – Second Language Research, 2006
This cross-sectional study of first language (L1) English adolescents learning French as a second language (L2) uses their development of negatives in relation to finite and non-finite verbs to investigate the status and nature of functional categories in these learners' emerging grammars. Analysing oral data from elicited production tasks from…

Kohnert, Kathryn; Danahy, Kerry – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2007
The teaching of an invented language rule has been proposed as a possible non-biased, language-independent assessment technique useful in differentiating young L2 learners with specific language impairment from their typically developing peers. The current study explores these notions by testing typically developing sequential bilingual children's…

Jiang, Nan – Language Learning, 2007
This study examined the development of integrated knowledge or automatic competence in adult SLA. Automatic competence was operationalized in terms of the participants' sensitivity to grammatical errors in a self-paced reading task. Their sensitivity was determined by observing whether there was a delay in reading ungrammatical sentences. Native…

Crowley, Dale P. – 1968
One of the objectives of this paper is to point out that the essential function of Chinese characters for the reader of Japanese is that of mediating, or evoking the sounds of Japanese directly, and the meanings secondarily, as the meanings are derived from the sounds. The author suggests that this is what happens, despite the fact that Chinese…
