    • Adding the microdimension to the study of language change in contact. Three case studies 

      Andriani, Luigi; D'Alessandro, Roberta; Frasson, Alberto; van Osch, Brechje; Sorgini, Luana; Terenghi, Silvia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-04)
      Syntactic change in contact is generally explained as a result of cognitive, structural/typological, or sociolinguistic factors. However, the relative weight of these factors in shaping the outputs of contact is yet to be assessed. In this paper, we propose a microcontact approach to the study of change in contact, focusing on microsyntactic points of variation across multiple language pairs that ...

    • Adjective position in the code-switched speech of Spanish and Papiamento heritage speakers in the Netherlands: Individual differences and methodological considerations 

      van Osch, Brechje; Parafita Couto, M. Carmen; Boers, Ivo; Sterken, Bo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-02)
      Introduction: This study examines adjective-noun order in code-switched constructions by heritage speakers of Spanish and Papiamento in the Netherlands. Given that Dutch differs from Spanish and Papiamento regarding the default position of the adjective, word order in the nominal domain creates a so-called “conflict site” in code-switching. Most accounts of word order patterns in code-switching focus ...

    • Cross-linguistic influence in bilingual grammars: Evidence from gender assigment in unilingual Dutch and mixed speech 

      van Osch, Brechje; Boers, Ivo; Grijzenhout, Janet; Couto, M. Carmen Parafita; Sterken, Bo; Tat, Deniz (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      This study reports on grammatical gender assignment in elicited production data from heritage speakers of Turkish, Papiamento, and Spanish in the Netherlands. We selectively target the nominal domain, consisting of a determiner, a noun, and an adjective. Previous studies have demonstrated gender to be vulnerable in bilingual acquisition (e.g., Gathercole & Thomas 2005; Mitrofanova et al. 2018). The ...

    • Gender in Unilingual and Mixed Speech of Spanish Heritage Speakers in The Netherlands 

      Boers, Ivo; Sterken, Bo; van Osch, Brechje; Parafita Couto, M. Carmen; Grijzenhout, Janet; Tat, Deniz (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-04)
      This study examines heritage speakers of Spanish in The Netherlands regarding their production of gender in both their languages (Spanish and Dutch) as well as their gender assignment strategies in code-switched constructions. A director-matcher task was used to elicit unilingual and mixed speech from 21 participants (aged 8 to 52, mean = 17). The nominal domain consisting of a determiner, noun, ...

    • Monolingual comparative normativity in bilingualism research is out of “control”: Arguments and alternatives 

      Rothman, Jason; Bayram, Fatih; DeLuca, Vincent; Di Pisa, Grazia; Dunabeitia, Jon Andoni; Gharibi, Khadij; Hao, Jiuzhou; Kolb, Nadine; Kubota, Maki; Kupisch, Tanja; Laméris, Tim; Luque, Alicia; van Osch, Brechje; Soares, Sergio Miguel Pereira; Prystauka, Yanina; Tat, Deniz; Tomic, Aleksandra; Voits, Toms; Wulff, Stefanie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Herein, we contextualize, problematize and offer some insights for moving beyond the problem of monolingual comparative normativity in (psycho)linguistic research on bilingualism. We argue that, in the vast majority of cases, juxtaposing (functional) monolinguals to bilinguals fails to offer what the comparison is supposedly intended to do: meet the standards of empirical control in line with ...

    • Subject Clitics in Microcontact: A Case Study from Heritage Friulian in Argentina and Brazil 

      Frasson, Alberto; D'Alessandro, Roberta; van Osch, Brechje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-18)
      In this paper we present data from first generation immigrants (G1) and second and third generation heritage speakers of Friulian, a Rhaeto-Romance language spoken in North-Eastern Italy and also found in Argentina and Brazil. The target phenomenon is subject clitics (SCL s). We show that SCL s in heritage Friulian are in a process of being reanalyzed from being agreement markers to pronouns. ...
