Learning (not) to predict: Grammatical gender processing in second language acquisition (2016, background): “…(ERP) studies reveal that sensitivity to agreement violations correlates with the realization of grammatical gender marking in the L1 (e.g. Sabourin and Stowe, 2008; though see Foucart and Frenck-Mestre, 2011; Gillon-Dowens et al., 2010, 2011), proficiency (Gabriele et al., 2013; Sagarra…”
Morphosyntactic processing in advanced second language (L2) learners: An event-related potential investigation of the effects of L1–L2 similarity and structural distance (2014, background): “whether a given L2 feature is present in the L1; whether a feature shared by the L1 and the L2 is realized similarly at the morphological level) impact processing (e.g. Bond et al., 2011; Foucart and Frenck-Mestre, 2011; Gillon-Dowens et al., 2010, 2011; Osterhout et al., 2006; Sabourin and Stowe, 2”
Grammatical gender in adult L2 acquisition: Relations between lexical and syntactic variability (2013, background): “These effects are found for L2ers across L1s, although learners whose L1s also mark grammatical gender show target-like ERP signatures sooner (Sabourin and Stowe, 2008).”
An ERP study on L2 syntax processing: When do learners fail? (2014, methodology): “The latter window is somewhat longer than is typical in P600 studies in monolinguals, because the P600 in L2 learners can be somewhat delayed (Weber-Fox and Neville, 1996; Hahne, 2001; Rossi et al., 2006; Sabourin and Stowe, 2008).”
WHEN GENDER AND LOOKING GO HAND IN HAND (2013, background): “Sabourin and Stowe ( 2008 ) showed that when there is not suffi cient congruence between the L1 and the L2 systems, transfer of information from one system to the other can fail.”
