Assessing the role of current and cumulative exposure in simultaneous bilingual acquisition: The case of Dutch gender* (2012, background): “While a number of studies have shown that amount of exposure is indeed a significant predictor of certain language outcomes in bilingual children, there is little consensus about which linguistic domains should be affected or to what extent (see e.g., Sorace, 2011, for suggestions).”
Is the heritage language like a second language (2012, background): “(2011) investigated preference for antecedent assignment of null and overt pronouns in Spanish L2 learners and heritage speakers, an area that has been identified as highly vulnerable to attrition in first generation bilinguals who speak pro-drop languages and to permanent optionality in near native”
A systematic review of transfer studies in third language acquisition (2018, neutral): “…(e.g., Abrahamsson and Hyltenstam, 2009; Bylund, Abrahamsson, and Hyltenstam, 2012; Clahsen and Felser, 2006; DeKeyser, 2000; Granena and Long, 2013; Hawkins and Casillas, 2008; Hawkins and Chan, 1997; Johnson and Newport, 1989; Long, 2005; Sorace, 2011; Tsimpli and Dimitrakopoulou, 2007).”
Parsing and Working Memory in Bilingual Sentence Processing (2016, methodology): “…of attachment ambiguities than L1 speakers, a finding that might not be expected under capacity-based approaches to L1/L2 differences (McDonald, 2006; Hopp, 2006, 2010) or the hypothesis that L2 speakers have difficulty integrating information from syntax and other domains (Sorace, 2011).”
Heritage language development: Connecting the dots (2018, background): “…(1994, 2014) found in child and adult heritage speakers, this study further confirms that discourse pragmatic properties of subject expression in Spanish are vulnerable to incomplete acquisition and permanent optionality in child and adult bilingual grammars (Sorace, 2000, 2005, 2011).”
Plural-marking in L2 Korean: A feature-based approach (2013, result): “…in previous-mention plural-referent discourse contexts will still be variable; previous research has suggested that conditions involving discourse-contextual information external to the grammar are acquired late and may constitute a source of persistent ‘residual optionality’ (Sorace, 2003, 2011).”
The scalpel model of third language acquisition (2017, background): “…from the 1990s was succeeded by focus on factors effecting subsequent interlanguage change and ultimate attainment (see the interface hypothesis, Sorace, 2011; the feature reassembly hypothesis, Lardiere, 2009; the bottleneck hypothesis, Slabakova, 2008), the field of generative multilingualism…”
Coreference and discourse coherence in L2: The roles of grammatical aspect and referential form (2017, background): “Such form-dependent preferences have shown to be difficult for non-native speakers to acquire (see Sorace, 2011, for review).”
Understanding heritage languages (2019, background): “This idea is not novel, and has been explored under the auspices of the Interface Hypothesis (Sorace, 2011; Sorace & Filiaci, 2006): phenomena at the intersection of language domains (e.g., pro-drop at the juncture of syntax and discourse) require more processing resources to manage than phenomena w”
