• The construct of language proficiency in the study of bilingualism from a cognitive perspective* (2012, unknown): “…cloze test, i.e., a paper-and-pencil procedure whereby the test taker is given a text in which some words have been deleted and replaced by gaps and is instructed to fill acceptable words in the gaps (e.g., Kim, Montrul & Yoon, 2010; Montrul, 2004; Montrul & Ionin, 2010; Slabakova, 2005; Yan, 2007).”
• Understanding heritage languages (2019, result): “We observe the same tendency with other phenomena, for example in the division of labor between plural definites and bare plurals in Romance generics (Kupisch, 2012; Montrul & Ionin, 2010), or at the lexical level, where heritage speakers resist synonymy (Rakhilina, Vyrenkova & Polinsky, 2016).”
• Early language experience facilitates the processing of gender agreement in Spanish heritage speakers* (2013, unknown): “…2007; Montrul, 2002, 2004a, 2007, 2009; Montrul & Bowles, 2009; O’Grady, Kwak, Lee & Lee, 2011; O’Grady, Lee & Choo, 2001; Polinsky, 2011; Rothman, 2007), semantics (Montrul & Ionin, 2010), discourse and pragmatics (Otheguy, Zentella & Livert, 2007; SilvaCorvalán, 1994), among other features.”
• Crosslinguistic influence at the syntax proper: Interrogative subject–verb inversion in heritage Spanish (2013, background): “All participants completed a linguistic background questionnaire to determine the age of onset of bilingualism, occupation, length of residence in the United States, parents’ L1, languages used at home and work, level of education, and language of instruction.”
