First language attrition and syntactic subjects: A study of Greek and Italian near-native speakers of English (2004, background): “This underspecification gives rise to optionality (see Sorace, 1993, 2000).”
Functional convergence in the tense, evidentiality and aspectual systems of Quechua Spanish bilinguals (2004, background): “In a parallel fashion, research on first language attrition in second language acquirers has found evidence that interpretable features are more likely to undergo interference and convergence towards the specification of the second language (Sorace, 2000; Montrul, 2002; Zapata, Sánchez and Toribio, ”
Knowledge of tense-aspect and mood in Spanish heritage speakers (2009, background): “…delays and instability in language development more generally, not just adult attrition, including L1 acquisition (Schmitt & Miller, 2007), bilingual acquisition in childhood (Serratrice, Sorace, & Paoli, 2004), L2 acquisition (Sorace, 2000), and minority language loss (Montrul, 2004a).”
COMPETENCE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN NATIVE AND NEAR-NATIVE SPEAKERS (2003, background): “Although lacking appropriate theoretical and methodological tools, Coppieters at that time implicitly differentiated formal properties of grammar that are acquirable from interpretive properties that may be indeterminate, in the sense of Sorace (1999, 2000).”
Clitics and Determiners in L2 Greek (2003, background): “In recent proposals of language development, impairment and attrition, it has been argued that differences in interpretability play a crucial role (Sorace 2000, Bouba et al 2002, Tsimpli 2001 and (to appear)).”
Language attrition and theories of forgetting: A cross-disciplinary review (2004, background): “Some researchers consider (L1) syntax more resistant to the influence of L2 structures and attrition compared to lexical and morphological structures (e.g., Andersen, 1982; Haugen, 1953; Köpke & Nespoulous, 2001; Pavlenko & Jarvis, 2002; Prince, 1997; Reetz-Kurashige, 1999; Sorace, 2000; Tomiyama, 1”
Heritage language development: Connecting the dots (2018, background): “Redundant uses of overt subjects have been portrayed as a key vulnerable area in adult immigrants undergoing attrition (Sorace, 2000; Tsimpli et al., 2004; Kaltsa et al., 2015), although the magnitude of this effect is much smaller in L1 attrition than in heritage speakers (Montrul, 2008).”
Crosslinguistic influence at the syntax proper: Interrogative subject–verb inversion in heritage Spanish (2013, background): “The validity of the interface hypothesis was examined in Argyri and Sorace‟s (2007) study with Greek-English bilingual children.”
Incomplete acquisition and attrition of Spanish tense/aspect distinctions in adult bilinguals (2002, background): “Within this framework, Sorace (2000) has proposed that L1 attrition affects [+interpretable] features rather than [7interpretable] features.”
Neurolinguistic aspects of attrition (2004, unknown): “…theoretical frameworks been used more systematically, for example Chomsky’s Universal Grammar (UG) and minimalism (e.g., Cuza, 2002; Gürel, 2002, this issue; McCormack, 2001; Montrul, 2002; Sorace, 2000) or Myers-Scotton & Jake’s (2000) 4- M-Model (e.g., Bolonyai, 1999; Gross, 2000; Schmitt, 2001).”
Gender and number agreement in the oral production of Arabic Heritage speakers* (2012, background): “…they are thought to be easier or earlier to acquire than other linguistic forms (Benmamoun, Montrul & Polinsky, 2010; Bolonyai, 2007; Fenyvesi, 2000; Sorace, 2000; Tsimpli & Sorace, 2006; Tsimpli, Sorace, Heycock & Filiaci, 2004).1 Another asymmetry involves the predominant use of specific…”
Subject and object expression in Spanish heritage speakers: A case of morphosyntactic convergence (2004, background): “…and mood morphology (Silva-Corvalán, 1994; Montrul, 2002), the syntactic expression of some unaccusative and unergative verbs (Polinsky, 1997; Montrul, forthcoming), and the pragmatic distribution of overt subjects (Silva-Corvalán, 1994; Lipski, 1996; Sorace, 2000; Tsimpi et al., 2003).”
Back to basics: Incomplete knowledge of Differential Object Marking in Spanish heritage speakers* (2009, background): “…in adults appears to affect lexical retrieval (Hulsen, 2000), phonetics (Major, 1993), and some superficial discourse-related aspects of language (Sorace, 2000), the outcome of incomplete acquisition appears to have deeper consequences in adulthood, affecting both core and noncore aspects of…”
The Interpretability Hypothesis: evidence from wh-interrogatives in second language acquisition (2007, background): “Variability (Tsimpli, 2005) or ‘optionality’ (Sorace, 1993; 2000; 2005) refers to the (in)consistent behaviour of the language learner in the target second language (L2), which is contrasted with the performance of the native speaker.”
Article Semantics in L2 Acquisition: The Role of Specificity (2004, background): “This issue has attracted attention in recent L2 literature (e.g., Eubank (1993/1994), Prévost and White (2000), Sorace (2000)).”
