Back to basics: Incomplete knowledge of Differential Object Marking in Spanish heritage speakers* (2009, methodology): “…took a short written Spanish proficiency test (vocabulary and cloze parts of DELE test), the same test used in several other studies of L2 learners and heritage speakers (White, Valenzuela, Kozlowska-Macgregor and Leung, 2004; Montrul, 2004a, 2005), and we used the same procedure for comparability.”
Pinning down the concept of “interface” in bilingualism (2011, background): “Developmentally, the syntactic distinction appears to be acquirable in L2 and stable in L1 attrition (see Sorace, 1993; & Kraš, 2008a, 2008b on auxiliary selection in Italian and Montrul, 2005a, 2005b on unaccusativity in heritage Spanish speakers and L2 Spanish speakers, among others).”
Command of gender agreement in school-age Spanish-English Bilingual Children (2007, background): “This question has recently been gaining momentum in the study of adult bilingualism as it relates to potential similarities between L2 acquisition and L1 loss (Montrul, 2005).”
Subject and object expression in Spanish heritage speakers: A case of morphosyntactic convergence (2004, methodology): “However, many bilinguals have been shown to display variable, incomplete, or depressed knowledge with the interpretation and production of tense/aspect and mood morphology (Silva-Corval´ an, 1994; Montrul, 2002), the syntactic expression of some unaccusative and unergative verbs (Polinsky, 1997; Mo”
Binding Interpretations of Anaphors by Korean Heritage Speakers (2009, methodology): “We approach our study from the theoretical perspective of Generative Grammar, a perspective that has made an important contribution to the study of formal properties of natural languages and their L1 and L2 acquisition, and most recently, potential L1 attrition and incomplete acquisition ( Gurel 200”
How similar are adult second language learners and Spanish heritage speakers? Spanish clitics and word order (2009, result): “…aspects of phonology but not in morphosyntax.3 In contrast, other researchers working from the perspective of linguistics have found qualitative and quantitative differences between heritage speakers and L2 learners in aspects of syntax and lexical semantics (Håkkanson, 1995; Montrul, 2005, 2006).”
Incomplete Acquisition in Bilingualism: Re-examining the Age Factor (2008, background): “However, studies such as Montrul (2005), among others, demonstrate that even “overhearers” and low proficiency heritage speakers have selective advantages over L2 learners due to the fact that heritage speakers set parameters of their weak L1 early in childhood.”
