Chunking ability predicts online sensitivity to L2 morphosyntax
Research has revealed substantial individual differences in how language is processed during reading by both first-language (L1) and second-language (L2) speakers, with morphosyntax in particular being identified as a ‘bottleneck’ area in L2 acquisition. While some predictors of reading performance are well studied (e.g. working memory, individual word knowledge), recent research has suggested a role for multiword unit chunking ability in L1 sent…
Heritage speakers’ processing of the Spanish subjunctive
We investigated linguistic knowledge of subjunctive mood in heritage speakers of Spanish who live in a long-standing English-Spanish bilingual community in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Three experiments examine the constraints on subjunctive selection. Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 employed pupillometry to investigate heritage speakers’ online sensitivity to the presence of the subjunctive with non-variable governors (Lexical conditioning) and with n…
The effects of information structure in the processing of word order variation in the second language
Traditionally, it has been claimed that the non-canonical word order of passives makes them inherently more difficult to comprehend than their canonical active counterparts both in the first (L1) and second language (L2). However, growing evidence suggests that non-canonical word orders are not inherently more difficult to process than canonical counterparts when presented with discourse contexts that license their information structure constrain…
How usage-based approaches to language can contribute to a unified theory of heritage grammars
In this paper, we argue that usage-based approaches to grammar, which specify how linguistic experience leads to grammatical knowledge through the interplay of cognitive, linguistic and social factors, have a central role to play in contributing to a unified theory of heritage language acquisition and processing with much greater explanatory adequacy. We discuss how this approach (1) offers solutions to long- standing problems in the field of her…
