Title

Language Acquisition Studies in Generative Grammar

Edited by Teun Hoekstra and Bonnie D. Schwartz

This is a collection of essays on the native and non-native acquisition of syntax within the Principles and Parameters framework. In line with current methodology in the study of adult grammars, language acquisition is studied here from a comparative perspective. The unifying theme is the issue of… read more

[Language Acquisition and Language Disorders, 8] 1994. xii, 401 pp.

Brakovec, Hunter, Michael Iverson, Jeanne McGill, Bonnie D. Schwartz and Rex A. Sprouse 2026 The importance of individual data in L3 acquisition: A reanalysis of Mitrofanova, Leivada, and Westergaard (2023) New Frontiers and Connections in Second Language Acquisition: Selected Proceedings of the 17th Generative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition (GASLA-17) Conference, Ionin, Tania and Silvina Montrul (eds.), pp. 279–301 | Chapter

We re-examine a recent contribution by Mitrofanova, Leivada, and Westergaard (2023) to the debate on wholesale vs. property-by-property transfer in L3 acquisition. They argued that results from their artificial-language experiment support the Linguistic Proximity Model (LPM) because in three of… read more

Xu, Baorui, Theres Grüter and Bonnie D. Schwartz 2026 The effect of real-world knowledge on the L2 acquisition of English inverse scope New Frontiers and Connections in Second Language Acquisition: Selected Proceedings of the 17th Generative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition (GASLA-17) Conference, Ionin, Tania and Silvina Montrul (eds.), pp. 74–100 | Chapter

English doubly-quantified sentences such as A boy climbed every tree allow both a surface reading (one particular boy climbed every tree) and an inverse reading (every tree was climbed by a (different) boy); the latter reading, by contrast, is not allowed in Mandarin analogues and has repeatedly… read more

Schwartz, Bonnie D. and Rex A. Sprouse 2021 The Full Transfer/Full Access model and L 3 cognitive states Epistemological issue: Sources of knowledge in L3 acquisition, Flores, Cristina and Neal Snape (eds.), pp. 1–29 | Article

This paper offers an overview of current models of third language (L3) acquisition, classifying each as a Wholesale Transfer model or as a Piecemeal Transfer model. We discuss what we consider to be some conceptual and empirical problems for the Piecemeal Transfer approaches and then discuss… read more

Schwartz, Bonnie D. and Rex A. Sprouse 2021 Making models, making predictions Epistemological issue: Sources of knowledge in L3 acquisition, Flores, Cristina and Neal Snape (eds.), pp. 116–129 | Reply

Kim, Kitaek, William O’Grady and Bonnie D. Schwartz 2018 Case in Heritage Korean Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 8:2, pp. 252–282 | Article

In a series of five experiments with 31 Korean heritage children, we show that knowledge of case and the ability to use it must be evaluated with careful attention to multiple factors that can influence access to morphological information in the course of comprehension and production. The first… read more

Schwartz, Bonnie D. 2011  Parsing up the Interface Hypothesis Epistemological issue with keynote article “Pinning down of “interface” in bilingualism” by Antonella Sorace, pp. 84–88 | Commentary

Schwartz, Bonnie D. and Rex A. Sprouse 2007 Linear sequencing strategies or UG-defined hierarchical structures in L2 acquisition?

A reply to Meisel

 Phrasal and Clausal Architecture: Syntactic derivation and interpretation, Karimi, Simin, Vida Samiian and Wendy K. Wilkins (eds.), pp. 295–318 | Article

We respond to Meisel (1997), who concludes, based on second language (L2) negation data, that “second language learners, rather than using structuredependent operations constrained by UG, resort to linear sequencing strategies which apply to surface strings” (p. 258). Like Lardiere (1999) and… read more

Schwartz, Bonnie D. 2006 Transfer as bootstrapping L2 Acquisition and Creole Genesis: Dialogues, Lefebvre, Claire, Lydia White and Christine Jourdan (eds.), pp. 183–204 | Article

On the basis of Hindi-English Interlanguage data, Bhatt and Hancin-Bhatt (2002) advance the Structural Minimality hypothesis in which C-domain categories are not licensed in early second language (L2) acquisition, and claim that this leads early L2 learners to misconstrue Prepositional Phrases in… read more

Beck, Maria-Luise, Bonnie D. Schwartz and Lynn Eubank 1995 Data, evidence and rules The Current State of Interlanguage: Studies in honor of William E. Rutherford, Eubank, Lynn, Larry Selinker and Michael Sharwood Smith (eds.), pp. 177–196 | Article
