Brain Potentials Reveal Discrete Stages of L2 Grammatical Learning (2010, background): “Some argue that similarity allows learners to transfer their native language knowledge to their L2 (Ard & Homburg, 1983; Hawkins & Franceschina, 2004; Koda, 1988; MacWhinney, 2005; Odlin, 1989; Ryan & Meara, 1991; Sabourin, Stowe, & de Haan, 2006; Schwartz & Sprouse, 1996).”
Age and Second Language Acquisition and Processing: A Selective Overview (2006, background): “Under such a design, the confounding effects of L1 representational entrenchment (on L1 entrenchment, see Kuhl, 2000; MacWhinney, 2005a) and L1 use would be minimized.”
Assessment of Bilingual Children for Identification of Language Impairment: Current Findings and Implications for Practice (2008, background): “From a functional perspective, forms that are similar or common across two languages may together contribute to higher salience and frequency overall, while forms that are unique to each language may produce a lower overall salience and frequency (MacWhinney, 2005).”
Early bilingualism, language transfer, and phonological awareness (2007, background): “The competition model of MacWhinney (2004) further predicts that the level of interaction between L1 and L2 may depend upon the degrees of similarity and specific levels of proficiency in the languages (see Hernandez et al., 2005).”
Juggling Two Languages in One Mind (2008, background): “A great deal of research on L2 learning demonstrates that there is transfer from the native or dominant first language (L1) to theweaker L2 (e.g., Kroll & Stewart, 1994;MacWhinney, 2005).”
Language control in bilinguals: Monolingual tasks and simultaneous interpreting (2006, background): “…on the issue of how the targeted language is output by the bilingual cognitive system, Gile focused on the fact that interpreting is essentially a divided-attention task, where at any moment in time attention has to be divided over more than one component process (see also MacWhinney, 2005).”
Long-Term Crosslinguistic Transfer of Skills From L1 to L2 (2009, background): “Although acquisition of L1 differs from L2, MacWhinney (2005) has proposed that L2 learning is heavily influenced by transfer from L1 and described evidence for transfer in several language skills (e.g., lexicon, articulation, pragmatics, audition).”
Understanding the Consequences of Bilingualism for Language Processing and Cognition (2013, background): “Within research on L2 acquisition, there are also studies that examine transfer in the way that L1 knowledge may be applied to the L2 (e.g., MacWhinney, 2005).”
Bilingual language production: The neurocognition of language representation and control (2007, methodology): “ERPs were analysed only for the latter trials. The N2 component, recorded over the left frontocentral region and typically associated with response inhibition, was much more negative when individuals switched from naming in L1 (the habitual language) to naming in L2. Such data are consistent with th”
