Perceived foreign accent in first language attrition and second language acquisition: The impact of age of acquisition and bilingualism (2011, background): “Our comparison of different bilingual populations introduces a different frame of reference for studies on L2 ultimate attainment (see also Montrul, 2008; Tsimpli et al., 2004).”
Pinning down the concept of “interface” in bilingualism (2011, background): “This approach was in fact proposed by Tsimpli et al. (2004) for L1 attrition in Italian and Greek.”
Anaphora resolution in near-native speakers of Italian (2006, methodology): “…violation of the PAS and disregarding the available solution of searching for antecedents outside the sentence.11 This account of near-natives’ anaphora resolution reinterprets in processing terms the solution previously proposed in representational terms (Sorace, 2000; 2003; Tsimpli et al., 2004).”
Cross-linguistic influence in the interpretation of anaphoric and cataphoric pronouns in English–Italian bilingual children (2007, methodology): “…with previous work on the interpretation of Italian null subject pronouns (Carminati, 2002) but they replicate the results obtained using the same picture verification task by Tsimpli et al. (2004) and Sorace and Filiaci (2006) with adult native speakers and adult near-native speakers of Italian.”
Internal and external interfaces in bilingual language development: Beyond structural overlap (2009, background): “Inconsistent patterns of accuracy at the interface have likewise been observed in cases of L1 attrition (Tsimpli et al., 2004), second language learners (Belletti, Bennati, & Sorace, 2007; Iverson, Kempchinsky, & Rothman, 2008; Rothman, 2007a; Sorace & Filiaci, 2006) and heritage speakers (Montrul,…”
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).”
How similar are adult second language learners and Spanish heritage speakers? Spanish clitics and word order (2009, background): “…that in bilingualism and language contact situations, interface areas between syntax and other cognitive systems, including discourse-pragmatics, exhibit a great deal of developmental instability (Montrul, 2004a; Müller & Hulk, 2001; Sorace, 2004; Sorace & Filiaci 2006; Tsimpli et al., 2004).”
Binding Interpretations of Anaphors by Korean Heritage Speakers (2009, methodology): “We approach our study from the theoretical perspective of Generative Grammar, a perspective that has made an important contribution to the study of formal properties of natural languages and their L1 and L2 acquisition, and most recently, potential L1 attrition and incomplete acquisition ( Gurel 200”
Quantitative analyses in a multivariate study of language attrition: the impact of extralinguistic factors (2010, background): “…variety of instruments, such as grammaticality judgements (e.g. de Bot et al., 1991; Grosjean and Py, 1991; Pelc, 2001), picture verification tasks (Tsimpli et al., 2004), naming tasks (e.g. Ammerlaan, 1996; Schoenmakers-Klein Gunnewiek, 1998; Hulsen, 2000) and cloze or fill-in tests (Hakuta and…”
