English tag questions are not confusing, are they: L1 transfer on L2 among Chinese ESL speakers
Tag questions frequently occur in both everyday conversations and educational settings (Wei et al. 2023). Due to cross-linguistic differences, Chinese ESL learners often produce confusing responses to English tag questions under the influence of their first language (L1), even after living or studying in English-speaking environments for a lengthy period. Results from 66 participants show that extended time in the U.S. assists Chinese ESL learner…
Subject-verb agreement in Down Syndrome: Morphosyntactic analysis and cross-linguistic predictions on universal defaults
While studies on English individuals with Down syndrome (DS) report impaired performance with the production of subject-verb (S/V) agreement, Schaner-Wolles (2004) shows close to ceiling performance with the production of S/V agreement for German individuals with DS. This study reports on findings from the production of S/V agreement of Cypriot Greek adults diagnosed with DS and offers preliminary predictions with the purpose of disambiguating w…
Comprehension of complex syntactic structures in Southern varieties of American English and mainstream American English
Research on the acquisition of complex syntactic structures in Southern English (SE) and Southern African-American English (SAAE) is near-absent, though an extensive body of literature is available on phenomena such as those of auxiliary and copula BE, and 3SG -(e)s. de Villiers et al. (2011) supported that characteristics found in AAE help avoid commonly observed developmental errors in the comprehension of wh-questions. Prior work on mainstream…
Linguistic illusions and misconceptions: The role of language variation in language development across three varieties of American English
Prior research on the linguistic abilities of Southern English- (SE) and African-American English-speaking children (SAAE) revealed unexpectedly high rates of risk for a language disorder (Christodoulou & Tsimpli 2021; Moland & Oetting 2021). This study examines the performance of 139 SE-, 46 SAAE-, and 35 Mainstream American English-speaking children (MAE), aged 2-13, and analyzes their performance, through twelve sections, in four key linguisti…
Copula Omission in Down Syndrome
This paper explores the nature of copula omission in Cypriot Greek individuals with Down Syndrome (DS). Previous studies on DS have attributed high rates of copula omission to an overall grammatical/inflectional impairment without offering further analysis. In order to identify relevant conditioning factors, we examined copula productions and omissions from spontaneous and elicited experimental tasks under five levels of analysis: categorial type…

Tense and aspect in Cypriot Greek Down Syndrome: Developmental patterns and coping strategies
This study examines the production of tense and aspect of Cypriot Greek adults diagnosed with Down Syndrome and children with typical language development. Despite the evidently low IQ scores, and comparatively lower MLU scores, the performance of Cypriot Greek adults with Down Syndrome with tense and aspect is almost at ceiling with 95.7% accuracy for tense and 97.2% for aspect. These results suggest that at least certain aspects of the Down Syn…
