Paths of Development in L1 and L2 acquisition: In honor of Bonnie D. Schwartz
Edited by Sharon Unsworth, Teresa Parodi, Antonella Sorace and Martha Young-Scholten
The main focus of generative language development research in recent decades has been the logical problem of language acquisition - how learners go beyond the input to acquire complex linguistic knowledge. This collection deals with the complementary issue of the developmental problem of language… read more[Language Acquisition and Language Disorders, 39] 2006. viii, 222 pp.

2025 Inter-generational attrition: Language transmission between long-term UK residents and heritage speakers of Italian on production of clitic pronouns Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 15:2, pp. 179–211 | Article
The phenomenon of language change in contact has been explored most significantly in speakers of a language who migrate, while fewer studies explore how language is affected across different generations. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of inter-generational attrition on the… read more

2019 Chapter 9. Referring expressions and executive functions in bilingualism Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 131–146 | Chapter
Recent research has shown that the bilingual experience has positive effects on non-linguistic cognition (Bialystok, 2009; Costa & Sebastian-Gallés, 2014) but also negative effects on language, for example on vocabulary size and lexical fluency (Pearson et al., 1993). While most of the linguistic… read more
2019 Chapter 10. Language control and executive control: Can studies on language processing distinguish the two? Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 147–160 | Chapter
In this paper, we review recent literature on the cognitive benefits of bilingualism and suggest that studies focusing on language processing can provide insights in the debate surrounding the “bilingual advantage hypothesis”. We argue that cross-language priming can be a useful research tool,… read more
2018 Exploring the role of cognitive control in syntactic processing: Evidence from cross-language priming in bilingual children Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 8:5, pp. 606–636 | Article
In this paper, we explore the role of cognition in bilingual syntactic processing by employing a structural priming paradigm. A group of Norwegian-English bilingual children and an age-matched group of Norwegian monolingual children were tested in a priming task that included both a… read more
2016 Referring expressions and executive functions in bilingualism Bilingualism and Executive Function: An interdisciplinary approach, Sekerina, Irina A. and Lauren Spradlin (eds.), pp. 669–684 | Article
Recent research has shown that the bilingual experience has positive effects on non-linguistic cognition (Bialystok 2009; Costa and Sebastian-Gallés 2014) but also negative effects on language, for example on vocabulary size and lexical fluency (Pearson et al. 1993). While most of the linguistic… read more
2011 Epistemological issue with keynote article “Pinning down of “interface” in bilingualism” by Antonella Sorace, pp. 1–33 | Keynote article
The Interface Hypothesis (IH) was put forward by Sorace and colleagues as an attempt to account for patterns of non-convergence and residual optionality found at very advanced stages of adult second (L2)acquisition. The IH originally proposed that language structures involving an interface between… read more
