Cross-linguistic evidence for the nature of age effects in second language acquisition (2010, background): “Although L1 and L2 are obviously in complementary distribution, their relative frequency tends to correlate with age of acquisition (see especially Bylund, 2008, 2009; Jia & Aaronson, 2003; Montrul, 2008), and the degree of L2 acquisition tends to correlate with the degree of L1 attrition (see…”
Dominance and Age in Bilingualism. (2014, background): “4 Note that Bylund (2009) suggests that there are mild declines in potential for 45both L2 attainment and L1 attrition during the first decade, that is, there is not a stable plateau of these potentials over that period.”
Understanding heritage languages (2019, background): “…evidences the central role of maintenance – a use-it-or-lose-it admonition – in our grammatical knowledge; the extent to which first language skills are lost has a direct relationship to the age of onset of bilingualism (Bylund, 2009; Flores, 2010, 2012; Montrul, 2008, 2011, 2016; Pallier, 2007).”
Crosslinguistic influence at the syntax proper: Interrogative subject–verb inversion in heritage Spanish (2013, background): “…complexity of the two languages (e.g. Müller & Hulk, 2001; Sánchez, 2003; Yip & Matthews, 2009), the role of age of onset of bilingualism (e.g. Bylund, 2009; Montrul, 2008; White & Genesee, 1996), and the effect of language dominance in the directionality and frequency of transferred elements…”
Is the heritage language like a second language (2012, background): “…1994), incomplete or interrupted acquisition due to insufficient input and use throughout childhood (Montrul, 2008b; O’Grady et al., 2011; Polinsky, 2006; Rothman, 2007); language attrition during the critical period (Bylund, 2009; Montrul, 2008b; Polinsky, 2011), and different parental input.”
Age of onset, length of residence, language aptitude, and ultimate L2 attainment in three linguistic domains (2013, background): “…language learning, relatively few have been conducted on the role of aptitude in combination with starting age, as a partial explanation for ultimate L2 attainment by long-term residents in the L2 environment, or for L1 retention among attriters (but see Bylund, 2009; Bylund et al., 2010).”
Age Effects in Second Language Learning: Stepping Stones Toward Better Understanding (2013, background): “Incidentally, the extent of L1 attrition because of limited exposure is also known to be a function of the ‘critical period’ (cf., e.g., Bylund, 2009; Bylund et al., 2010; DeKeyser, 2012a; Moon, 2012).”
