An ERP study on L2 syntax processing: When do learners fail? (2014, methodology): “However, there is also evidence of L2 learners without gender systems in their L1 being able to show full acquisition of grammatical gender (White et al., 2001, 2004), which is seen as evidence against such a restriction (Schwartz and Sprouse, 1994, 1996; see also White, 1989; White et al., 2004).”
Some thoughts on the contrastive analysis of features in second language acquisition (2009, background): “…– features – that are currently available to us from 10 See, for example, Prévost and White (2000); Goad et al. (2003); Montrul and Slabakova (2003); Archibald (2004); White et al. (2004); Hopp (2005); Goad and White (2006); Grüter (2006); Lardiere (2007); Valenzuela (2008), amongst others.”
Grammatical gender in adult L2 acquisition: Relations between lexical and syntactic variability (2013, background): “Irrespective of L1 differences, advanced L2ers have been shown to reach native-like levels on determiner–noun and adjective–noun agreement in elicited production (e.g. White et al., 2004).”
Age and input in the acquisition of grammatical gender in Dutch (2008, background): “On this approach, the gender specification of neuter nouns is correct in the learners’ interlanguage grammars, but they experience problems in realizing the correct form of the determiner in production (see also White et al., 2004; Brouwer et al., 2008).”
Early language experience facilitates the processing of gender agreement in Spanish heritage speakers* (2013, background): “Recall that studies that have reported successful acquisition of gender by non-native speakers of Spanish typically include nouns with canonical endings only (White et al., 2004).”
MORPHOLOGICAL ERRORS IN SPANISH SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS AND HERITAGE SPEAKERS (2011, methodology): “Knowledge of gender was assessed through a written picture identifi - cation task (based on the methodology used by White et al., 2004 ), a written elicited recognition task, and an oral picture description task.”
Spanish gender agreement under complete and incomplete acquisition: Early and late bilinguals' linguistic behavior within the noun phrase* (2011, background): “Regarding the linguistic variables in the present study, previous findings on the L2 acquisition of Spanish grammatical gender show that learners operate with a default gender value, which can be either masculine or feminine, and over-generalize the masculine forms of determiners and modifiers, but ”
Plural-marking in L2 Korean: A feature-based approach (2013, result): “The irrelevance of (un)interpretability to ultimate attainment comports with findings of other studies, such as that of White et al. (2004) – who found that L1 English and French advanced proficiency learners of L2 Spanish were able to acquire number and gender agreement features to native-like…”
WHEN GENDER AND LOOKING GO HAND IN HAND (2013, methodology): “This is true for speakers with and without grammatical gender in their L1 (e.g., the learners of Dutch in Sabourin, Stowe, & de Haan, 2006 ; the learners of Spanish in White et al., 2004 ).”
Morphological variability in the comprehension of agreement: an argument for representation over computation (2008, methodology): “6) la barba rojo (White et al., 2004) the-FEM beard red-MASC ‘the red beard’ 7) monsieur il arriver (Prévost and White, 2000) mister he arrive-INF The term ‘default’ has frequently been used to describe the systematic outcome of substitution errors; (4–7), then, can be viewed as instances of…”
