Gender and number agreement in the oral production of Arabic Heritage speakers* (2012, background): “Montrul and Potowski (2007) found that Spanish heritage speakers produced significantly more gender agreement errors than native monolingual speakers and significantly fewer errors than L2 learners.”
Terminology matters! Why difference is not incompleteness and how early child bilinguals are heritage speakers (2018, background): “It just so happens that most of the existent research examining HS bilingual competence has examined HS adults (but see Flores, Santos, Marqes, & Jesus, under review; Montrul & Potowski, 2007; Pascual y Cabo, 2013; Polinsky, 2011; Rodina & Westergaard, 2015).”
Bilingual language acquisition and theories of diachronic change: Bilingualism as cause and effect of grammatical change* (2010, background): “In fact, Montrul and Potowski (2007) themselves observe that one needs longitudinal studies in order to tease apart differences between incomplete acquisition and L1 attrition.”
Early language experience facilitates the processing of gender agreement in Spanish heritage speakers* (2013, background): “Bilingual school-age Spanish–English children also make gender errors in Spanish (Montrul & Potowski, 2007; Mueller Gathercole, 2002).”
Age and input in the acquisition of grammatical gender in Dutch (2008, background): “…that the acquisition of gender for a large part involves wordlearning and that lexical development is affected by reduced input, it is expected that input factors will affect the acquisition of gender and, in particular, the acquisition of marked or non-default forms (Montrul and Potowski, 2007).”
Spanish gender agreement under complete and incomplete acquisition: Early and late bilinguals' linguistic behavior within the noun phrase* (2011, background): “To date, however, there are relatively few studies exploring gender agreement behavior between heritage speakers and L2 learners, and the little research that does exist focuses on lowerproficiency heritage learners (e.g. Montrul et al., 2008; Montrul & Potowski, 2007).”
