2025 Age of onset does not matter for bilingual children’s understanding of late-acquired phenomena: The case of temporal connectives Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism: Online-First Articles | Article
The Timing Hypothesis predicts that age of onset and L2 input in bilingual acquisition interact with timing in monolingual acquisition: early-acquired phenomena, mastered before age four by monolingual children, are subject to age of onset effects, whereas late-acquired phenomena, mastered after… read more
2022 Heterogeneity in bilingualism and autism: Two of a kind? Epistemological issue: Bilingual Language Development in Autism, Flores, Cristina and Neal Snape (eds.), pp. 76–81 | Commentary
2021 Phonology and sentential semantics: Markers of SLI in bilingual children at age 6? Language Impairment in Multilingual Settings: LITMUS in action across Europe, Armon-Lotem, Sharon and Kleanthes K. Grohmann (eds.), pp. 263–300 | Chapter
The aim of this study is to investigate phonology (via consonant clusters) and sentential semantics (via exhaustivity in wh-questions) regarding their potential to characterize SLI in the context of bilingual acquisition. Using the German LITMUS-QU-NWR task and the exhaustivity task, the… read more
2019 Red train, big train, broken train: Semantic aspects of adjectives in child language Three Streams of Generative Language Acquisition Research: Selected papers from the 7th Meeting of Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition – North America, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Ionin, Tania and Matthew Rispoli (eds.), pp. 203–221 | Chapter
This paper investigates the role of formal semantic properties in the acquisition of adjectives. Based on these semantic properties we propose an implicational Semantic Feature Hierarchy, which postulates that the order of emergence is determined by the adjectives’ semantic complexity. To test this… read more
2018 Chapter 6. Telicity in typical and impaired acquisition Semantics in Language Acquisition, Syrett, Kristen and Sudha Arunachalam (eds.), pp. 123–150 | Chapter
This chapter discusses children’s knowledge of the syntactic-semantic interface of different types of telicity in typical and impaired acquisition. It maintains that telicity can be semantic or pragmatic, depending on whether event completion is entailed or implicated. It further delineates the… read more
2011 Pragmatic children: How German children interpret sentences with and without the focus particle only Experimental Pragmatics/Semantics, Meibauer, Jörg and Markus Steinbach (eds.), pp. 79–100 | Article
Our study investigated the abilities of 6-year-old German-speaking children to interpret sentences with and without the focus particle nur (only). We report two experiments: In Experiment 1 the study by Paterson et al. (2003) on English was replicated in German. We found that German-speaking… read more
