    • Defining bilingualism as a continuum: Some tools and consequences for the study of bilingual mind and brain effects 

      Rothman, Jason; Bayram, Fatih; DeLuca, Vincent; Gonzalez Alonso, Jorge; Kubota, Maki; Puig-Mayenco, Eloi (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Prior to the early 1960s, the idea that children in bilingual contexts were somehow disadvantaged for linguistic and cognitive development was popularly held. Without consideration of socio-economic inequalities across groups, often co-occurring with ethnic/racial minority status, it was argued that simultaneous language exposure resulted in confusion, delaying the process of language acquisition ...

    • Event Related Potentials at Initial Exposure in Third Language Acquisition: Implications from an Artificial Mini-Grammar Study 

      González Alonso, Jorge; Alemán Bañón, José; Deluca, Vincent; Miller, David; Pereira Soares, Sergio M.; Puig-Mayenco, Eloi; Slaats, Sophie; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-01)
      The present article examines the proposal that typology is a major factor guiding transfer selectivity in L3/L<i>n</i> acquisition. We tested first exposure in L3/L<i>n</i> using two artificial languages (ALs) lexically based in English and Spanish, focusing on gender agreement between determiners and nouns, and between nouns and adjectives. 50 L1 Spanish-L2 English speakers took part in the experiment. ...

    • Language dominance in the previously acquired languages modulates the rate of third language (L3) development over time: A longitudinal study 

      Puig-Mayenco, Eloi; Rothman, Jason; Tubau, Susagna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-31)
      This study examines the extent to which extra-linguistic factors such as language dominance, order of acquisition and language of instruction are deterministic for multilingual transfer selection and subsequent development. We test two groups of Catalan-Spanish bilinguals acquiring English as an L3 in a controlled setting. We first examine judgements and interpretations of negative quantifiers and ...

    • Low proficiency does not mean ab initio: A methodological footnote for linguistic transfer studies 

      Puig-Mayenco, Eloi; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-17)
      The goal of this brief article is to highlight a specific methodological consideration pertaining to the examination of linguistic transfer in sequential language acquisition: When and how can transfer be meaningfully disentangled from issues pertaining to developmental trajectories of the target language? While this methodological issue is relevant for all transfer studies irrespective of learner ...

    • On the Status of Transfer in Adult Third Language Acquisition of Early Bilinguals 

      González Alonso, Jorge; Puig-Mayenco, Eloi; Fábregas, Antonio; Chaouch-Orozco, Adel; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)
      The study of linguistic transfer—understood here in terms of the copying of previous linguistic representations—seeks to reveal how domain-relevant prior language knowledge impacts the acquisition and development of new mental representations more generally. Studying sequential multilingualism offers a natural laboratory to observe cognitive-economical mechanisms that avoid redundancy in language ...
