Discourse conditions on subject pronoun realization: Testing the linguistic intuitions of older bilingual children (2009, background): “…language such as Spanish, Greek or Italian, together with a non-null-subject language like English, use overt subject pronouns in their null-subject language significantly more often than their monolingual counterparts (Paradis and Navarro, 2003; Serratrice et al., 2004; Müller et al., 2006.”
Understanding heritage languages (2019, background): “…of overt pronouns in contexts that normally call for a null form (Lipski, 1996; Montrul, 2002, 2008, 2016; Otheguy, Zentella & Livert, 2007; Serratrice, 2007; Serratrice et al., 2004; Silva-Corvalán, 1994; Sorace et al., 2009; Sorace & Filiaci, 2006; Tsimpli et al., 2003, 2004, among others).”
Crosslinguistic influence at the syntax proper: Interrogative subject–verb inversion in heritage Spanish (2013, background): “In more recent research, Sorace et al. have brought back the discussion of transfer selectivity to the forefront of current language acquisition and bilingualism research (e.g. Serratrice et al., 2004; Sorace, 2000, 2004, 2005; Sorace & Filiaci, 2006; Tsimpli & Sorace, 2006).”
The effect of perceptual availability and prior discourse on young children's use of referring expressions (2006, background): “On the linguistic side of development, studies of preferred argument structure also suggest very early sensitivity to the shared perceptual and discourse context (Allen & Schroder, 2003; Clancy, 2003; Maslen, 2005; Serratrice, 2004).”
Anaphora resolution in near-native speakers of Italian (2006, background): “…in these studies are consistent with an account that places the problem at the level of underspecified interpretable features 2For discussion see Serratrice et al., 2004 Müller and Hulk’s proposal is based on data from young bilingual children who have not yet acquired the syntax of the…”
Some thoughts on the contrastive analysis of features in second language acquisition (2009, background): “…has been argued as likely to result in ‘residual indeterminacy’ in the learner’s know ledge (or processing) of interface conditions for syntactically-licensed elements whose distribution is pragmatically determined (Sorace and Filiaci, 2006; see also Montrul, 2004b; Serratrice et al., 2004).”
Domain-General Versus Domain-Specific Accounts of Specific Language Impairment: Evidence From Bilingual Children's Acquisition of Object Pronouns (2006, background): “…examined cross-linguistic influence between the languages of simultaneous bilingual children at the discourse-pragmatics syntax interface with respect to argument omission and pronominalization (Hulk (2000), Müller and Hulk (2001), Paradis and Navarro (2003), Serratrice, Sorace, and Paoli (2004)).”
