Miami and North Wales, So Far and Yet So Near: A Constructivist Account of Morphosyntactic Development in Bilingual Children (2007, background): “Note that these predictions differ from those of Hulk and Müller (2000), who proposed that interaction will occur (a) with structures that are problematic for monolingual children, which they argue lie in the C-domain, where two modules (syntax and pragmatics) of the grammar meet, and (b) when the t”
Internal and external interfaces in bilingual language development: Beyond structural overlap (2009, background): “…have been gathering substantial evidence for the vulnerability of morphosyntax in domains in which it is regulated by pragmatic or semantic factors (Hulk & Müller, 2000; Müller & Hulk, 2001; Paradis & Navarro, 2003; Serratrice, 2007; Serratrice, Sorace & Paoli, Key words bilingual cross-linguistic…”
Convergence as an optimization strategy in bilingual speech: Evidence from code-switching (2004, background): “Similar observations are formalized by Hulk and Müller (2000) as originating at the pragmatics–discourse interface of the syntax, the point in language production where the context influences choices of syntactic structure (cf., Paradis and Navarro, 2003).”
Bilingual children's sensitivity to specificity and genericity: Evidence from metalinguistic awareness* (2009, background): “Additional support for this hypothesis comes from studies investigating this issue in terms of the interface between syntax and discourse pragmatics (Hulk and Müller, 2000; Paradis and Navarro, 2003; Serratrice, Sorace and Paoli, 2004).”
Individual differences and language interdependence: a study of sequential bilingual development in Spanish–English preschool children (2009, background): “For example, Hulk and Müller (2000) and Müller and Hulk (2001) claimed that Germanic languages have an influence on Romance languages with respect to the object drop and, therefore, argued for cross-language influence.”
Factors of success and failure in the acquisition of grammatical gender in Dutch (2008, background): “Cross-linguistic influence is a well-known factor for success in bilingual language acquisition (see, among others, Hulk and Müller, 2000; Müller and Hulk, 2001).”
Subject and object expression in Spanish heritage speakers: A case of morphosyntactic convergence (2004, background): “Hulk and Müller (2000) and Müller and Hulk (2001) examined object omissions in monolingual and bilingual children speaking a Romance and a Germanic language.”
Discourse conditions on subject pronoun realization: Testing the linguistic intuitions of older bilingual children (2009, background): “All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.lingua.2008.09.008 According to Hulk and Müller’s original proposal (Hulk and Müller, 2000; Müller and Hulk, 2001), cross-linguistic influence is likely to occur at the syntax–discourse interface when a syntactic construction in language A is ambiguous, in the…”
Effects of input on the early grammatical development of bilingual children (2010, background): “It has been argued that cross-linguistic transfer can cause delays if there is surface overlap between the two languages, which happens when there is superficial similarity between two languages that have a different underlying grammar (Hulk & Müller, 2000).”
Bilingual language acquisition and theories of diachronic change: Bilingualism as cause and effect of grammatical change* (2010, background): “…advocate the possibility of a weaker language or of cross-linguistic interaction allegedly resulting in an altered type of grammatical knowledge in bilinguals, e.g. Hulk and Müller (2000), admit that this affects only some children, but not all; see Meisel (2007b) for a discussion of such claims.”
Cross-linguistic transfer in adjective–noun strings by preschool bilingual children (2006, background): “A third possible explanation of transfer is when one language has two possibilities (ambiguity) and shares one of those possibilities with the other language (overlap; Döpke, 1998; Hulk and Müller, 2000; Müller and Hulk, 2001).”
Incomplete acquisition and attrition of Spanish tense/aspect distinctions in adult bilinguals (2002, background): “…that semantic±pragmatic distinctions might be more peripheral to Universal Grammar regulated knowledge, and are most vulnerable areas for crosslinguistic in¯uence and language attrition, as studies of early bilingualism (Hulk and MuÈller, 2000) and adult bilingualism (Sorace, 2000) have shown.”
Cross-linguistic influence in the interpretation of anaphoric and cataphoric pronouns in English–Italian bilingual children (2007, background): “In a recent proposal, morphosyntactic options constrained by discourse pragmatics have been shown to be particularly vulnerable to cross-linguistic influence (Müller, Hulk and Jacubowicz, 1999; Hulk and Müller, 2000; Müller and Hulk, 2001).”
Pinning down the concept of “interface” in bilingualism (2011, background): “John Benjamins Publishing Company All rights reserved in young bilingual children who have not fully acquired the C-domain (Müller & Hulk, 2000).”
Language-experience facilitates discrimination of /d-th/ in monolingual and bilingual acquisition of English. (2006, background): “Support for differentiated representation with interdependent development comes from investigations of acquisition of syntax (Döpke, 2000; Hulk & Müller, 2000; Hulk & Van der Liden, 1998; Müller, 1998).”
Crosslinguistic influence at the syntax–pragmatics interface: Subjects and objects in English–Italian bilingual and monolingual acquisition (2004, background): “In a number of recent papers Hulk and Müller (Hulk and Müller, 2000; Müller and Hulk, 2000, 2001) have in fact argued that crosslinguistic influence in bilingual acquisition is likely to occur in structures at the interface between syntax and pragmatics.”
