Language aptitudes and VOT development of L3 Spanish stops in Chinese-English bilinguals
Voicing contrast is a difficult feature for Chinese-English emergent bilingual learners of L3 Spanish. Adopting a time-series approach, this study investigates developmental trajectories of L3 Spanish voiced and voiceless VOT integrating the dynamic roles of language aptitude components.To trace their developmental paths, thirty classroom learners of L3Spanish in China produced VOT samples in a wordlist reading task five times during a five-month…
Distributional Learning and Language Activation: Evidence from L3 Spanish Perception Among L1 Korean-L2 English Speakers
This study investigates L3 Spanish perception patterns among L1 Korean-L2 English bilinguals with varying L3 proficiency levels, aiming to test the applicability of traditional L2 perceptual models in multilingual contexts. We conducted two experiments: a cross-linguistic discrimination task and a cross-language identification task. Results revealed unexpected outcomes unique to multilingual contexts. Participants had difficulty reliably discrimi…
Piecemeal crosslinguistic influence and multilingualism
Saussure proposed the division language/parole and argued that language can be studied as a formal system. Fifty years later Chomsky declared competence the core interest of linguistics. Although for years Generative second language acquisition (GenSLA) has adopted this view, a number of recent publications poke holes into the competence bubble. Westergaard’s article is among those that pushes the boundaries of Generative Grammar (GG). In our com…
Issues in the Phonology and Morphology of the Major Iberian Languages
This collection explores current issues in the phonology and morphology of the major Iberian languages: Basque, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish. Most of the essays are based on innovative theoretical frameworks and show how recent revolutions in theoretical ideas have affected the study of these languages. Distinguished scholars address a diverse range of topics, including: stress assignment, phonological variability, distribution of r…
