Cross-Linguistic Influence between Aymara Evidentiality and Spanish Aspect in Bilingual Heritage Aymara-Spanish Children in the North of Chile
The present study explored cross-linguistic influence ( CLI ) between Aymara evidentiality and Spanish aspect. Aymara is an indigenous language that grammatically marks the source of information, a feature known as evidentiality. Spanish aspect refers to how an action unfolds in time, such as whether it is completed or ongoing, and is marked by verbal morphemes. Aymara and Spanish are spoken in close proximity in northern Chile, leading to biling…
Dominance, Language Experience, and Increased Interaction Effects on the Development of Pragmatic Knowledge in Heritage Bilingual Children
We investigate whether dominance, language experience, and increased interaction have an effect on the development of heritage bilingual children’s knowledge of the discourse-pragmatic constraints guiding null and overt subjects. A group of child heritage bilinguals ( n = 18, mean age = 5;5) and comparison groups of adults: Mexican Spanish monolinguals ( n = 15), heritage bilinguals in the United States ( n = 16), and English monolinguals in the …
Theory of Mind and Evidentiality Acquisition in Heritage Bilingual Aymara-Spanish Children in the North of Chile
The present work examines the connection between language and conceptual development, investigating whether false-belief reasoning ( FBR ) and source-monitoring ability ( SMA ), abilities within the theory of mind (ToM) framework, trigger the comprehension of semantic and pragmatic knowledge (evidential scalar implicatures) encoded in the evidentiality structure (Papafragou et al., 2007). Furthermore, the present work examines whether age modulat…
Influencia del aimara como lengua de herencia en el español adquirido como segunda lengua
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar la influencia de la lengua de herencia en la lengua dominante en hablantes de origen aimara (HH) en el norte de Chile. El concepto de HH se refiere a la descripción de un perfil lingüístico que adquiere su lengua materna o lengua de herencia (LH) en una comunidad donde la LH es minoritaria y luego, al salir a la comunidad dominante, adquiere la lengua mayoritaria como L2. Para llevar a cab…
Morphosyntactic Features Versus Morphophonological Features in L2 Gender Acquisition
This paper aims to demonstrate the reliability of morphosyntactic versus morphophonological features in the acquisition of L2 gender of inanimate nouns across languages. Based on Anna Kibort study "Towards a typology of grammatical features"(2010), the current research proposes that the presence of a gendered determiner is more reliable than gendered noun-final morphemes in the process of adjective agreement within the Determiner Phrase (DP) acro…
Conceptually Cued Perceptual Categorization in Adult L2 Learners
Previous studies attest that early bilinguals can modify their perceptual identification according to the fine-grained phonetic detail of the language they believe they are hearing. Following Gonzales et al. (2019), we replicate the double phonemic boundary effect in late learners (LBs) using conceptual-based cueing. We administered a forced choice identification task to 169 native English adult learners of Spanish in two sessions. In both sessio…
