    • Anticausatives are semantically reflexive in Norwegian but not in English 

      Lundquist, Bjørn; Corley, Martin; Tungseth, Mai; Sorace, Antonella; Ramchand, Gillian C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-29)
      In this paper we will discuss cross-linguistic variation in semantic entailment patterns in causa- tive alternations. Previous work has probed this issue with data from elicited semantic judge- ments on paired linguistic forms, often involving linguistic negation and contradiction. We contribute to the debate in the form of a related psycholinguistic experiment that taps into direct judgements ...

    • Cross-Linguistic Influence on L2 Before and After Extreme Reduction in Input: The Case of Japanese Returnee Children 

      Kubota, Maki; Heycock, Caroline; Sorace, Antonella; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-18)
      This study investigates the choice of genitive forms (the woman’s book vs. the book of the woman) in the English of Japanese-English bilingual returnees (i.e., children who returned from a second language dominant environment to their first language environment). The specific aim was to examine whether change in language dominance/exposure influences choice of genitive form in the bilingual children; ...

    • Exploring the role of cognitive control in syntactic processing: Evidence from cross-language priming in bilingual children 

      Wolleb, Anna; Sorace, Antonella; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-10)
      In this paper, we explore the role of cognition in bilingual syntactic processing by employing a structural priming paradigm. A group of Norwegian-English bilingual children and an age-matched group of Norwegian monolingual children were tested in a priming task that included both a within-language and a between-language priming condition. Results show that the priming effect between-language was ...

    • Losing access to the second language and its effect on executive function development in childhood: The case of'returnees' 

      Kubota, Maki; Chevalier, Nicolas; Sorace, Antonella (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-31)
      This study examined how relative language proficiency and exposure influence the development of executive function (EF) in 7–12 year-old bilingual ‘returnee’ children. Returnees are children of immigrant families who were immersed in an environment where their second language (L2; English) was the majority societal language and returned to their native language (L1; Japanese) environment after the ...
