Object pronouns in German L3 syntax: Evidence for the L2 status factor (2011, background): “4 There is a discussion on the degree of availability of Universal Grammar (UG) in non-native language acquisition (see discussions in, for example, Eubank, 1993/94, 1994; Vainikka and Young-Scholten, 1994, 1996; Hawkins and Chan, 1997; Hawkins and Hattori, 2006; Hawkins et al., 2006).”
Gender and number agreement in the oral production of Arabic Heritage speakers* (2012, background): “…L2 learners will permanently fail to acquire parameterized properties not instantiated in L1 (e.g., Hawkins & Casillas, 2008; Hawkins & Chan, 1997; Hawkins & Hattori, 2006; Tsimpli, 2003), whereas another group attributes morphological variability to non-access related factors, such as the…”
Plural-marking in L2 Korean: A feature-based approach (2013, background): “Here we might also point out that theories that propose that acquiring new uninterpretable features is impossible in adult second language acquisition, such as the Interpretability Hypothesis (e.g. Franceschina, 2005; Hawkins and Hattori, 2006; Tsimpli and Dimitrakopoulou, 2007; Tsimpli and Mastropa”
How similar are adult second language learners and Spanish heritage speakers? Spanish clitics and word order (2009, background): “The partial/no access positions (Bley-Vroman, 1990; Clahsen & Musken, 1989; Hawkins & Chan, 1997; Hawkins & Hattori, 2006; Meisel, 1997; Schachter, 1990), which implicitly assume maturational constraints, maintain that the L1 plays a deterministic role in L2 development and ultimate attainment.”
Some thoughts on the contrastive analysis of features in second language acquisition (2009, background): “…acquisition, they are hypothesized to disappear from the learner’s UG inventory and to no longer be accessible; thus, the late L2 acquirer’s knowledge of the L2 with respect to those features is predicted to ‘permanently diverge’ from that of native speakers (Hawkins and Hattori, 2006: 271).”
