Bilingual First Language Acquisition: French and German grammatical development
Edited by Jürgen M. Meisel
The contributions in this volume are based on an analysis of data from bilingual children acquiring French and German simultaneously. The longitudinal studies started at approximately age one year and six months and continued till age six.

Linear Order and Generative Theory
Edited by Jürgen M. Meisel and Martin D. Pam
The term ‘word order studies’ designates an area of syntax which has become an increasingly central theme in linguistic research. Since, in at least a narrow sense, syntax is the study of how meaningful elements are put together to form sentences, a preoccupation with word order would seem inherent… read more[Current Issues in Linguistic Theory, 7] 1979. ix, 512 pp.
2024 Chapter 2. Linguistic approaches to language acquisition: Looking back at the formative years of a unified language acquisition theory Perspectives on Input, Evidence, and Exposure in Language Acquisition: Studies in honour of Susanne E. Carroll, Hracs, Lindsay (ed.), pp. 16–51 | Chapter
Acquisition research is an integral part of contemporary linguistic theorizing. 50 years ago, this was not the case. Change came about following a theoretical reorientation that established linguistics as a cognitive science, defining mental grammars as the prime object of study. Here I review… read more
2011
Recent research comparing simultaneous and successive acquisition of bilingualism suggests that successive acquisition is affected by age-related changes possibly as early as age (of onset of acquisition) 3–4. Since children are typically exposed to colloquial varieties, the primary linguistic… read more
2010 Chapter 12. Age of onset in successive acquisition
of bilingualism: Effects on grammatical development Language Acquisition across Linguistic and Cognitive Systems, Kail, Michèle and Maya Hickmann † (eds.), pp. 225–247 | Article
In first language acquisition, monolingual as well as bilingual, every child develops a full grammatical competence in the language s/he is exposed to. This is arguably not the case in second language acquisition (L2). My assumption here is that this is due to the fact that the Language Making… read more
2008 Child second language acquisition or successive first language acquisition? Current Trends in Child Second Language Acquisition: A generative perspective, Haznedar, Belma and Elena Gavruseva (eds.), pp. 55–80 | Article
This paper explores the question of whether child L2 acquisition is more like L1 or adult L2. An analysis of the acquisition of finiteness by German child L2 learners of French leads to the conclusion that successive acquisition of languages exhibits similarities to adult L2 in some aspects of… read more
