Understanding the nature and outcomes of early bilingualism: Romance languages as heritage languages (2009, background): “Given their increased complexity (as compared to properties within the narrow syntax), it has been argued that some interfaces are loci (perhaps inevitably) for non-convergence in bilingual grammars (Sorace, 2004; Tsimpli, Sorace, Heycock, & Filiaci, 2004).”
Terminology matters! Why difference is not incompleteness and how early child bilinguals are heritage speakers (2018, background): “…causal factors that contribute to variable competence outcomes in adult HSs as compared to monolinguals1: (i) qualitative input factors (e.g. Pascual y Cabo & Rothman, 2012; Rothman, 2007; Sorace, 2004 ) and (ii) general inaccessibility to formal education/literacy (e.g. Tsimpli, 2014) in the HL.”
The (Il)Logical Problem of Heritage Speaker Bilingualism and Incomplete Acquisition (2012, background): “This would be an example of cross-generational attrition, as suggested by Sorace (2004) and others.”
Heritage language development: Connecting the dots (2018, background): “Sorace (2004) questioned the suitability of this methodology to investigate the pragmatic distribution of subjects for two reasons: 1) the number of tokens produced by each subject differs, and 2) because the story is universally known and there is no information gap between the participant and the…”
Phrase-final prepositions in Quebec French: An empirical study of contact, code-switching and resistance to convergence* (2011, background): “Abandonment, or at least suspension, of the widespread belief that variability IS change (e.g. Montrul, 2004, p. 130; Sorace, 2004, p.144; Toribio, 2004, p. 167) will also be required.”
Theoretical and developmental issues in the syntax of subjects: Evidence from near-native Italian (2007, background): “Gurel 2006; Montrul 2004; Montrul and Louro 2006).”
How similar are adult second language learners and Spanish heritage speakers? Spanish clitics and word order (2009, methodology): “…that in bilingualism and language contact situations, interface areas between syntax and other cognitive systems, including discourse-pragmatics, exhibit a great deal of developmental instability (Montrul, 2004a; Müller & Hulk, 2001; Sorace, 2004; Sorace & Filiaci 2006; Tsimpli et al., 2004).”
Domain-General Versus Domain-Specific Accounts of Specific Language Impairment: Evidence From Bilingual Children's Acquisition of Object Pronouns (2006, background): “6 As an alternative explanation to that offered by EUCC, one anonymous reviewer suggested that the distinction between why object clitics on the one hand are vulnerable, and subject clitics and articles on the other hand are accurately produced could boil down to syntactic necessity, along the lines”
