Current Issues in Heritage Language Acquisition (2010, background): “Studies have found that Spanish and Russian heritage speakers tend to overuse overt subjects in topic shift and switch reference contexts where null subjects would be pragmatically more appropriate (Montrul, 2004; Polinsky, 2007; Silva-Corvalán, 1994).”
Alignment in second language dialogue (2008, background): “This is the context in which language attrition typically occurs: changes in the L1 start at the individual level, and when an entire community experiences prolonged L2 exposure, changes spread to other speakers and, over time, to other generations of speakers (Lapidus & Otheguy, 2005; Montrul, 2004”
Testing convergence via code-switching: priming and the structure of variable subject expression (2011, unknown): “…of use of expressed subjects in Spanish.2 However, while some studies have found such a correlation (Lapidus & Otheguy, 2005a, 2005b; Lipski, 1996; Montrul, 2004; Otheguy & Zentella, 2007; Otheguy, Zentella, & Livert, 2007; Toribio, 2004), others have not (Bayley & Pease-Alvarez, 1997; Morales,…”
Convergence as an optimization strategy in bilingual speech: Evidence from code-switching (2004, background): “…that of the full variety spoken by monolinguals (e.g, the strong features that motivate verb raising and that license null subjects), but those areas where the syntax interfaces with other extra-grammatical areas are vulnerable to respecification and convergence (cf., Montrul, 2004 – this volume).”
Heritage language development: Connecting the dots (2018, methodology): “The present study, which used the same narrative task as Montrul (2004), included adult immigrants to verify this possibility and to see whether attrition in adults could also contribute to the incomplete acquisition of pragmatic features of Spanish subjects attested in the heritage speakers.”
Differential Object Marking in Child and Adult Spanish Heritage Speakers (2013, methodology): “Montrul (2004) found that Spanish heritage speakers of intermediate to advanced proficiency omitted DOM on animate and specific direct objects in oral production ranging from 6% to 21%.”
ONLINE PRONOUN RESOLUTION IN L2 DISCOURSE: L1 Influence and General Learner Effects (2008, background): “…, with Greek , Italian , Spanish , and Turkish being affected by the nonnull subject language English ~ Gürel , 2003 , 2004 ; Kim & Montrul , 2003 ; Montrul , 2004 ; Sorace , 2000 ; Tsimpli , Sorace , Heycock , Filiaci , & Bouba , 2003 ! as well as in bilingual L1 studies ~ Serratrice & Sorace ,…”
Do Language–Based Processing Tasks Separate Children with Language Impairment from Typical Bilinguals? (2006, background): “Differences in performance between bilingual and monolingual speakers have been discussed in terms of an amalgamation of cues and strategies from two different languages (Hernandez, Bates, & Avila, 1994) or language convergence (e.g., Montrul, 2004).”
Is the heritage language like a second language (2012, background): “The study focused on control of gender agreement in noun phrases, which typically developing monolingual Spanish-speaking children master with close to 100% accuracy by age 3 (see details in Montrul, 2004).”
Anaphora resolution in near-native speakers of Italian (2006, background): “Montrul, S. 2004: Subject and object expression in Spanish Heritage speak- ers: a case of morphosyntactic convergence.”
Theoretical and developmental issues in the syntax of subjects: Evidence from near-native Italian (2007, background): “…studies indicate the same asymmetric tendency for the scope of overt subjects to be extended, a few studies of L1 attrition and L2 acquisition have also reported the apparent illicit use of null subjects to refer to non-topic antecedents (e.g. Gürel 2006; Montrul 2004; Montrul and Louro 2006).”
Gender and number agreement in the oral production of Arabic Heritage speakers* (2012, unknown): “…has been documented cross-linguistically (Albirini, Benmamoun & Saadah, 2011; Anderson, 1999, 2001; Bolonyai, 2002; Fenyvesi, 2000; Håkansson, 1995; Montrul, 2002, 2004; Montrul, Foote & Perpiñan, 2008; Montrul & Potowski, 2007; Polinsky, 1997, 2006, 2008; Rothman, 2007; SilvaCorvalán 1994;…”
Binding Interpretations of Anaphors by Korean Heritage Speakers (2009, background): “As for incomplete acquisition in adult Korean heritage speakers, small-scale studies conducted by Kim & Montrul (2004) and Kim et al. (2005, forthcoming) investigated the interpretation of anaphors (Principle A), and found that the binding interpretations of Korean in these bilinguals were…”
Crosslinguistic influence and language dominance in older bilingual children (2007, background): “18 The fact that these bilingual children can and do use postverbal subjects appropriately, although in a minority of cases, suggests that they are not “incomplete acquirers” of Greek like, for example, the descendants of first-generation Spanish immigrants in the US studied by Montrul (2004).”
