Age of onset does not matter for bilingual children’s understanding of late-acquired phenomena
The Timing Hypothesis predicts that age of onset and L2 input in bilingual acquisition interact with timing in monolingual acquisition: early-acquired phenomena, mastered before age four by monolingual children, are subject to age of onset effects, whereas late-acquired phenomena, mastered after age four by monolinguals, are not affected by age of onset but by L2 input. The current study evaluates the prediction regarding late-acquired phenomena …
Including Families in a Response to the Unregulated Toxic Drug Crisis
The unregulated toxic drug crisis continues to be an urgent health issue in North America. Many families of people who use drugs have been significantly impacted by this issue. In addition to the thousands of North Americans who have been bereaved by drug mortality, many families are providing unpaid care to bridge gaps in services while navigating the grief and stress associated with caring for a loved one amidst a heavily politicized and rapidl…
Comprehension of complex sentences containing temporal connectives
Children up to school age are known to have difficulty comprehending complex sentences with temporal connectives, but the reasons remain controversial. We tested six- to twelve-year-old children to assess how the iconicity of event-language mapping, type of connective, and clause order mediate the comprehension of temporal sentences. Sixty monolingual Greek-speaking children and 15 adult controls completed a picture-sequence selection task in whi…
Children and adults privilege linguistic over visual information when creating comparison classes for prenominal gradable adjectives
Mastering the semantics of gradable adjectives is a complex acquisition task, since their interpretation requires the calculation of a threshold relative to a comparison class. Context plays a role in determining the comparison class in multiple ways; empirical research has focused on non-linguistic cues, such as world knowledge and visual context, and less on linguistic cues, such as the modified head noun. The present study is the first to exam…
Wipe the table clean – German speakers construe telicity differently in adjectival resultatives and transitives
Change of state expressions involving weak-endstate verbs such as wipe and drink exhibit variation in telicity. The present study is the first to experimentally investigate change of state expressions referred to as adjectival control resultatives (e.g., wipe the table clean) and the corresponding simple transitives (e.g., wipe the table) regarding their telicity readings. Based on their semantic properties, we ask whether German speakers interpr…
Bereaved mothers’ media coverage and public support for harm reduction in Canada
Background Mothers whose child’s death is related to substance use have emerged as prominent and outspoken critics of Canadian drug policy in the news media. We examined the extent to which, and who among, the general public has seen or heard mothers bereaved by substance use in the media; predicted factors associated with exposure to such media; and explored associations with public acceptance of harm reduction.Methods We analyzed data from a 20…
Engaging families and parent advocates in research on substance use and drug policy reform
Canada is in the midst of a public health emergency in drug poisoning (overdose) deaths. In this context parents, and especially mothers, of those who have died from drug poisoning have mobilised to advocate for urgent responses and drug policy reforms. To document this emerging women‐led advocacy, we initiated a community‐academic research partnership with three parent groups representing families in Canada bereaved by drug‐related deaths. In th…
Structural diversity does not affect the acquisition of recursion
Languages vary according to which morphosyntactic forms of embedding are present in the grammar as well as to which of these forms allow recursive embedding. The present study examines how German-speaking children discover which forms of embedding are recursive. In German, possessive modifiers are expressed by several structural options (i.e., genitive case, possessive -s, relative clauses, and von-prepositional phrases, placed to the left or the…

“I'm not your reality show
North America's overdose crisis is one of the most urgent public health issues of our time and parents bereaved from substance use are a prominent voice within the news media. To date, however, the experiences of bereaved mothers who have shared their stories with the media has not been well-documented, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of their political advocacy efforts. In 2017, we conducted qualitative interviews with 43 mothers …
Bereaved mothers’ engagement in drug policy reform
To date, efforts to address the drug poisoning epidemic have done little to curb casualties. Mothers whose child's death is related to substance use are one group who are bringing their experiences to advocacy efforts aimed at generating new solutions, including calls for decriminalization and legal regulation of drugs. This and other lived experience perspectives represent a critical voice in decision-making and hold the potential to inform more…
Does Timing in Acquisition Modulate Heritage Children's Language Abilities? Evidence from the Greek Litmus Sentence Repetition Task
Recent proposals suggest that timing in acquisition, i.e., the age at which a phenomenon is mastered by monolingual children, influences acquisition of the L2, interacting with age of onset of bilingualism and amount of L2 input. Here, we examine whether timing affects acquisition of the bilingual child's heritage language, possibly modulating the effects of environmental and child-internal factors. The performance of 6- to 12-year-old Greek heri…
Can Frequency Account for the Grammatical Choices of Children and Adults in Nominal Modification Contexts? Evidence from Elicited Production and Child-Directed Speech
There is consensus that languages possess several grammatical variants satisfying the same conversational function. Nevertheless, it is a matter of debate which principles guide the adult speaker's choice and the child's acquisition order of these variants. Various proposals have suggested that frequency shapes adult language use and language acquisition. Taking the domain of nominal modification as its testing ground, this paper explores in two …
It's a Bit of a Double-Edged Sword
North America's overdose crisis is an urgent public health issue that has resulted in thousands of deaths. As the crisis began to take hold across Canada in 2016, bereaved parents, mainly mothers, emerged as vocal advocates for drug policy reform and harm reduction, using their stories to challenge the stigma of drug-related death. In 2017, we launched a qualitative research partnership with leading family organizations in Canada, conducting inte…
What verb-final and V2 have in common
Theoretical accounts agree that German restrictive relative clauses (RCs) are integrated at the level of syntax as well as at the level of prosody (Brandt1990; Gärtner1998, 2002; Endriss and Gärtner2005; Catasso and Hinterhölzl2016; Sanfelici et al.2017) in both the default verb-final and the marked verb-second variant (referred to as iV2). Both variants are assumed to show the same prosodic pattern, i. e., prosodic integration into the main clau…
How strong is the ban on non-finite verbs in V2? Evidence from early second language learners of German with and without SLI
Using the standardized test LiSe-DaZ across four test rounds, we collected elicited production data from 22 typically developing early second language learners (eL2 TD) of German (mean age at T1: 3;7) and 11 older eL2 children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) (mean age at T1: 7;1). Focusing on the relation between verb placement and verbal inflectional morphology two questions were addressed: Do eL2 children obey the ban on non-finite verb…

Specific Language Impairment (SLI) across languages
Learning the meaning of verbs
Using evidence from both production and comprehension data, this paper addresses the question of how normally developing and language-impaired children acquire the meanings of first verbs. The spontaneous speech of seven German-speaking children (three of whom are language-impaired) at the onset of speech production was analyzed with respect to the emergence of verbs and the type of event associated with them. In addition, 64 children between the…
The role of tense and aspect in the acquisition of factivity
Previous studies on the acquisition of factivity have shown partial understanding of factive complements, as well as problems with their syntactic structure. These studies fail to consider language variation and the possible role of tense and aspect as morphological markers of factivity. An experiment tested comprehension of factive complements in English, German and Spanish (67 children aged 3 to 6 years). A follow-up study (40 English children …
