L2 cognitive states and the Full Transfer/Full Access model:
1.6K
TL;DR: This article is a defence of the Full Transfer/Full Access (FT/FA) model, arguing that the FT/FA model provides the most coherent picture of the L2 initial cognitive state.

Abstract: This article is a defence of the Full Transfer/Full Access (FT/FA) model. FT/FA hypothesizes that the initial state of L2 acquisition is the final state of L1 acquisition (Full Transfer) and that failure to assign a representation to input data will force subsequent restructurings, drawing from options of UG (Full Access). We illustrate the FT/FA model by reviewing our analysis of the developmental Turkish-German Interlanguage data of Schwartz and Sprouse (1994) and then turn to other data that similarly receive straightforward accounts under FT/FA.We also consider two other competing hypotheses, both of which accept Full Access but not Full Transfer: the Minimal Trees hypothesis (no transfer of functional categories) of Vainikka and Young-Scholten (1994; 1996) and the Weak Transfer hypothesis (no transfer of the values associated with functional categories) of Eubank (1993/94). We provide an example of (extremely robust) L2 acquisition data that highlight the inadequacy of the Minimal Trees hypothesis in...

The role of semantic transfer in clitic drop among simultaneous and sequential chinese-spanish bilinguals
TL;DR: The authors examined the acquisition of the featural constraints on clitic and null distribution in Spanish among simultaneous and sequential Chinese-Spanish bilinguals from Peru and found that late learners avoided using clitics and relied on lexical and null objects.

The subset problem in L2 perceptual development: Multiple-category assimilation by Dutch learners of Spanish
Paola Escudero,Paul Boersma +1 more
- 01 Jan 2002
TL;DR: This paper defined multiple-category assimilation as the pattern in foreign-language perception in which a binary contrast in the L2 is perceived as more than two categories in the first language.
The Full Transfer/Full Access model and L3 cognitive states
TL;DR: This article presented an overview of current models of third language (L3) acquisition, classifying each as a Wholesale Transfer model or as a Piecemeal Transfer model, arguing that one of them in particular seems to be the most promising, viz., the Typological Primacy Model (TPM).

Disentangling SLI and bilingualism using sentence repetition tasks: the impact of L1 and L2 properties
TL;DR: This article investigated performance on morpho-syntax in Russian-Hebrew sequential bilingual preschool children with and without specific language impairment (SLI) using sentence repetition (SRep) tasks with a fundamental aim to disentangle the language abilities of bilingual children with typical language development (biTLD) from those of children with SLI (biSLI).

Natural sequences in child second language acquisition1
Heidi C. Dulay,Marina K. Burt +1 more
TL;DR: The authors compared the acquisition sequences of 11 English functors for native Chinese and Spanish-speaking children learning English and found that they yielded approximately the same sequence of acquisition for both language groups.
