Abstract This study examined how syntactic roles influence pronoun resolution in L1-Chinese L2-English learners and English natives, testing predictions from the Shallow Structure Hypothesis (SSH). Using a self-paced reading task and acceptability judgments, the study analyzed interpretations of ambiguous pronouns when...

L1 proximity and syntactic complexity in L2 Italian acquisition

Studies on second language acquisition suggest that clitic pronouns are challenging syntactic elements for L2ers to acquire. This study examines the acquisition of Italian accusative clitics by Spanish and Swedish L2ers. Extending Romano’s (2020) research on Swedish speakers, it employs an oral structural primin...

This study investigates how monolingual listeners evaluate the perceived nativeness of bilingual speech in the first (L1) and second language (L2), and which pronunciation cues underlie these judgments. English and German listeners rated the L1/L2 speech produced by L1 English-L2 German late bilinguals, alongside m...

First language influences on the production of morphologically complex lexical stress

Although prior research suggests that suprasegmental phonological awareness contributes to English learners’ acquisition of lexical stress, less attention has been paid to morphological awareness and how learners’ first language (L1) shapes this ability, particularly since morpho-phonological cues change how stress...

L1 word order does not modulate predictive use of dative verb constraints in L2 Mandarin

This study investigates cross-linguistic influence in L2 prediction: specifically, the hypothesis that first language (L1) speakers of a verb-final language are less likely to use verb information for real-time prediction in a verb-medial (SVO) second language (L2; Şafak & Hopp, 2023 ). Two groups of L2 learner...

Effect of Visual Cueing and Referent Position on Syntactic Choices Varies With Language Flexibility and Language Status as L1/L2: Evidence From L1 Hindi and L2 English Sentence Production.

Previous studies on sentence production have shown that the accessibility of a referent in the speaker's mind influences the syntactic structure selected during utterance planning. The present study investigated how the effect of referent accessibility on structural choice during sentence production is influenced by la...
