• Assessing the role of current and cumulative exposure in simultaneous bilingual acquisition: The case of Dutch gender* (2012, background): “In other words, the grammatical gender system in Dutch may be considered “opaque”, with the consequence that the specification of gender in Dutch must to a certain extent occur on a word-by-word basis (Blom et al., 2008a; Unsworth, 2008; Weerman, Duijnmeijer & Orgassa, 2011).”
• Specific Language Impairment and Early Second Language Acquisition: The Risk of Over- and Underdiagnosis (2014, background): “As length of exposure to the second language increases, initial differences between agematched monolingual and eL2 children decrease and may eventually disappear (e.g., Schulz et al. 2008; Schulz 2013, for German; Paradis 2010; Unsworth 2008).”
• Articles, adjectives and age of onset: the acquisition of Dutch grammatical gender (2008, background): “The merit of this three-way comparison is that it potentially allows disentangling effects of age of onset and L1 vs. L2 acquisition (Schwartz, 1992; 2004; Unsworth, 2005).”
• The role of age of onset and input in early child bilingualism in Greek and Dutch (2011, background): “Given the lack of systematic cues, the specification of gender in Dutch, and of neuter nouns in particular, must to a certain extent occur on a word-by-word basis (e.g., Blom, Polišenskà, & Weerman, 2008; Unsworth, 2008).”
• Grammatical gender in adult L2 acquisition: Relations between lexical and syntactic variability (2013, background): “…contrast to child L1 and L2 learners who master the morphosyntax of grammatical gender within a few years of exposure (e.g. Hopp, 2011; Unsworth, 2008), adult L2 learners frequently show variability in establishing gender agreement between nouns, determiners and adjectives that…”
