How social contexts support and shape language development (2006, background): “At least some aspects of grammar are also mastered later by bilingual children than by monolinguals (Gathercole, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c).”
Social factors in childhood bilingualism in the United States (2007, background): “Gathercole (2002) has provided us with several clear examples of thresholds for mastering the complexity associated with specific grammatical constructions.”
Dual language exposure and early bilingual development* (2011, background): “…is evidence that the degree of difference between monolinguals and bilinguals on these grammatical measures is related to the amount of English exposure the children have (Gathercole, 2002a; 2002b; 2002c; Gathercole & Thomas, 2009; Pearson, Fernández, Lewedeg & Oller, 1997; Oller & Eilers, 2002).”
Effects of input on the early grammatical development of bilingual children (2010, background): “The studies of Paradis et al. (2007) and Gathercole (2002a, 2002b, 2002c) support the hypothesis that input quantity influences the grammatical development of older bilingual children.”
Bilingual Children's Acquisition of English Verb Morphology: Effects of Language Exposure, Structure Complexity, and Task Type (2010, methodology): “Gathercole (2002a, 2002b, 2002c) reported the results of grammaticality judgment tasks probing children’s knowledge of the following structures: the mass/count noun distinction in quantification structures, which does not exist in Spanish; grammatical gender, which does not exist in English; and…”
Assessing the role of current and cumulative exposure in simultaneous bilingual acquisition: The case of Dutch gender* (2012, methodology): “…including grammatical gender (e.g., Gathercole, 2002a), verbal morphology (e.g., Paradis, 2010a), finiteness (Blom, 2010), mass/count nouns (Gathercole, 2002b), that-trace effects (Gathercole, 2002c) and wh-questions, passives and definite/indefinite articles (Chondrogianni & Marinis,…”
Minority Language Survival: Input Factors Influencing the Acquisition of Welsh. (2005, background): “…with plural nouns even by grade 5; similarly, children's learning of thattrace forms in Spanish came in quite early, while performance on that-trace structures in English were still causing difficulties for some sub-groups at grade 5 (see Gathercole 2002a, 2002b, 2002c, Gathercole & Montes 1997).”
Differential effects of internal and external factors on the development of vocabulary, tense morphology and morpho-syntax in successive bilingual children (2011, methodology): “Conversely, in the case of the acquisition of morphology and syntax, distributed characteristics are limited and each morphological and syntactic system develops independently in each language (Gathercole, 2002b; Paradis & Genesee, 1996).”
Bilingual first-language development: Dominant language takeover, threatened minority language take-up* (2009, background): “…types of morphosyntactic constructions were examined for a subset of the participants: the English mass/count distinction (Gathercole, 2002a), the Spanish grammatical gender system (Gathercole, 2002b), and that-trace structures in both languages (Gathercole, 2002c; Gathercole and Montes, 1997).”
Domain-General Versus Domain-Specific Accounts of Specific Language Impairment: Evidence From Bilingual Children's Acquisition of Object Pronouns (2006, background): “…effects of time-on-task on speed of acquisition in bilinguals also follows from domain-general theories of typical language acquisition, such as Constructivist/Usage-based approaches (e.g., Tomasello (2003; 2004)), and was argued for elsewhere for typical bilingual development (Gathercole (2002)).”
The role of age of onset and input in early child bilingualism in Greek and Dutch (2011, background): “Gathercole (2002b) also observed input effects in the acquisition of grammatical gender in Spanish.”
Exposure and input in bilingual development (2017, background): “Bilingual children show delays relative to monolinguals on measures of grammatical knowledge, and these too correlate to measures of exposure (Gathercole, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c; Gathercole & Thomas, 2009; La Morgia, 2011; Paradis, 2010; Paradis & Navarro, 2003; Thomas & Gathercole, 2007; Thomas,…”
