• Perceived foreign accent in first language attrition and second language acquisition: The impact of age of acquisition and bilingualism (2011, background): “, Dussias, 2004), as well as the speed of processing in either language (e.g., Hopp, 2010; McDonald, 2000), even if both languages are acquired from early childhood (Foursha, Austin, & van de Walle, 2005; Proverbio, Cok, & Zani, 2002; Werker & Byers-Heinlein, 2008).”
• Dominant-language replacement: The case of international adoptees* (2009, unknown): “…that is not always entirely nativelike (Hyltenstam, 1992; Flege, Munro and MacKay, 1995; Flege, Frieda and Nozawa, 1997; Ekberg, 1998; Butler, 2000; McDonald, 2000; Hyltenstam and Abrahamsson, 2003a; Tsukada, Birdsong, Bialystok, Mack, Sung and Flege, 2005; MacKay, Flege and Imai, 2006;…”
• The Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (LEAP-Q): assessing language profiles in bilinguals and multilinguals. (2007, unknown): “The degree of prior exposure to a language has been shown to influence research findings (e.g., Birdsong, 2005; Genesee, 1985; Kohnert, Bates, & Hernandez, 1999; MacKay & Flege, 2004; McDonald, 2000; Weber-Fox & Neville, 1999).”
• Age of Onset and Nativelikeness in a Second Language: Listener Perception Versus Linguistic Scrutiny (2009, background): “have researchers been able to present results that suggest much higher rates of nonnativelike early learners (e.g., Hyltenstam & Abrahamsson, 2003a; Butler, 2000; Ekberg, 2004; Flege, Freida, & Nozawa, 1997; Flege et al., 1999; Lee et al., 2006; MacKay et al., 2006; McDonald, 2000; Tsukada et al., 2”
• The syntax–discourse interface in near-native L2 acquisition: Off-line and on-line performance* (2009, background): “Some studies report that late L2 learners do not fall within the range of native performance (e.g. Johnson and Newport, 1989; DeKeyser, 2000), whereas others find at least a subset of late L2 learners scoring within the native range (e.g. McDonald, 2000; Birdsong and Molis, 2001).”
• English word recognition and word integration skills of native Arabic- and Japanese-speaking learners of English as a second language (2003, background): “However, each of these reading subskills or processes must compete for a limited amount of cognitive resources available in working memory (Crain & Shankweiler, 1990; Gibson, 1998; Just & Carpenter, 1992; MacDonald, 2000).”
• The role of age of onset and input in early child bilingualism in Greek and Dutch (2011, background): “In the study cited above, Meisel (2009) claims that the gender-marking on determiners produced by children whose age of first exposure to French is at 3;7 or later are inconsistent with the generalisations made by (2)L1 children, which are based on the formal properties of the noun.”
• Implicit and Explicit Knowledge in Second Language Learning, Testing and Teaching (2009, background): “Research indicates a strong relationship between ultimate attainment and age of arrival (AOA), and a somewhat weaker relationship for years of education and length of residence (LOR) in the target language country (e.g. Birdsong, 1992; DeKeyser, 2000; Flege et al., 1999; Johnson & Newport, 1989, 199”
• Agreement attraction in Spanish comprehension (2015, background): “…relationships such as agreement: agreement errors in comprehension might be more common in languages with an impoverished morphology, and specific challenges might arise for learners of a morphologically richer second language (Jia, Aaronson, & Wu, 2002; Jiang, 2004, 2007; McDonald, 2000).”
• Long-term language attainment of bilingual immigrants: Predictive variables and language group differences (2002, background): “This is congruent with previous findings contrasting Spanish–English bilinguals with Chinese–English and Vietnamese–English bilinguals (Bialystok & Miller, 1999; Birdsong & Molis, 2001; McDonald, 2000).”
• Cross-linguistic evidence for the nature of age effects in second language acquisition (2010, background): “Thus far, only the former comparison has been made in the CPH literature on the acquisition of grammar (Bialystok & Miller, 1999; Hyltenstam, 1992; McDonald, 2000; Sorace, 1993).”
• Effects of input properties, vocabulary size, and L1 on the development of third person singular –s in child L2 English (2012, unknown): “This effect of transfer supports other studies that report L1 effects in English L2 children’s acquisition of verb inflection (Dulay & Burt, 1974; McDonald, 2000; Paradis, 2011).”
