INTERACTION AND SYNTACTIC PRIMING: English L2 Speakers' Production of Dative Constructions (2006, background): “…speakers ~Branigan, Pickering, & Cleland, 2000! and in previous written sentence completion research that involved German L1, English L2 speakers ~Gries & Wulff, 2005!+ One possible explanation is that these L2 English participants had not acquired the complex semantic and morphological rules…”
Assessing syntactic sophistication in L2 writing: A usage-based approach (2017, background): “Research has suggested that VACs are not merely bare forms on which to place words, but carry meaning for both L1 (Bencini & Goldberg, 2000; Chang, Bock, & Goldberg, 2003; Hare & Goldberg, 1999) and L2 (Gries & Wulff, 2005) users.”
Formulaic Language in Native and Second Language Speakers: Psycholinguistics, Corpus Linguistics, and TESOL (2008, background): “There is considerable interest in formulaic language in second language acquisition (SLA), as recent reviews attest (Cowie, 2001; Gries & Wulff, 2005; Meunier & Granger, 2008; Robinson & Ellis, 2008; Schmitt, 2004; Wray, 2002).”
Constructing a second language: Analyses and computational simulations of the emergence of linguistic constructions from usage. (2009, background): “It, and its associated aspects of predictive value, information gain, and statistical association, is therefore central in psycholinguistic theories of language acquisition too (Ellis, 2006b, 2006c, 2008b; Gries & Wulff, 2005; MacWhinney, 1987; Wulff, Ellis, Römer, Bardovi-Harlig, & LeBlanc, 2009).”
Psycholinguistic and corpus-linguistic evidence for L2 constructions (2009, methodology): “Accordingly, in an earlier study (Gries and Wulff, 2005), we investigated whether argument structure constructions can also be argued to be a part of second language learners’ mental lexicon, and to what extent language learners are aware of the construction-specific verb preferences of these…”
Usage‐Based Language: Investigating the Latent Structures That Underpin Acquisition (2013, methodology): “They are central in psycholinguistic theories of language acquisition (Ellis, 2006a, 2006b, 2008b; Gries & Wulff, 2005; MacWhinney, 1987).”
Learners' Production of Passives during Syntactic Priming Activities (2007, background): “Syntactic priming has also been shown to occur in second language (L2) speech production (Gries and Wulff 2005; McDonough 2006), and recent interaction studies have reported that English L2 learners often repeat lexical items that were initially produced by an interlocutor during syntactic priming…”
