2022 Macrostructure in narratives produced by Lebanese Arabic-French bilingual children: Developmental trends and links with language dominance, exposure to narratives and lexical skills Storytelling: How organization of narratives is (not) affected by linguistic skills, Bohnacker, Ute and Natalia Gagarina (eds.), pp. 446–478 | Article
Studies of macrostructure in bilingual children investigated potential age and language effects, without systematically taking into account bilingualism factors such as language dominance, exposure to narratives, and general language abilities. These issues were addressed in a study of… read more
2022 Bilingual language development in autism Epistemological issue: Bilingual Language Development in Autism, Flores, Cristina and Neal Snape (eds.), pp. 1–32 | Article
Bilingual language development in children with autism is a new field; the entire body of literature, which is so far sparse, has been published within the last ten years. The potential impact of this research is, however, very high, due to increasing numbers of children growing up bilingually… read more
2022 Response to Commentaries on bilingual language development in autism Epistemological issue: Bilingual Language Development in Autism, Flores, Cristina and Neal Snape (eds.), pp. 92–102 | Reply
2021 Identification of bilingual children with Specific Language Impairment in France Language Impairment in Multilingual Settings: LITMUS in action across Europe, Armon-Lotem, Sharon and Kleanthes K. Grohmann (eds.), pp. 169–196 | Chapter
We report on the usefulness of three LITMUS tools in distinguishing bilingual children with SLI (Bi-SLI) from bilingual children with typical development (Bi-TD), in France: LITMUS-QU-NWR-FR (non-word repetition), LITMUS-SR-FR (sentence repetition), and LITMUS-PABIQ (parental questionnaire). 82… read more
2021 The influence of different first languages on LITMUS nonword-repetition and sentence repetition in second language French and second language German: A crosslinguistic approach Language Impairment in Multilingual Settings: LITMUS in action across Europe, Armon-Lotem, Sharon and Kleanthes K. Grohmann (eds.), pp. 227–262 | Chapter
The study investigates the appropriateness of the French and German LITMUS–Sentence Repetition (LITMUS–SR) and the LITMUS–Quasi–Universal–Nonword–Repetition task (LITMUS–QU–NWR) for the assessment of bilingual children with diverse language backgrounds. We examine the quantitative and qualitative… read more
2021 Object clitic production in French-speaking L2 children and children with SLI: A longitudinal comparison of elicited and spontaneous language Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 11:2, pp. 259–288 | Article
This study examines French object clitic production in 20 typically developing L2 children (L1 English) compared to 19 monolingual children with SLI. We collected spontaneous and elicitation data twice at a one-year interval (T1, T2) in order to better evaluate the impact of age- and… read more
2020 Narrative comprehension in Lebanese Arabic-French bilingual children Developing Narrative Comprehension: Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives, Bohnacker, Ute and Natalia Gagarina (eds.), pp. 31–60 | Chapter
This chapter examines the development of comprehension of macrostructure in narratives by 48 simultaneous bilingual Lebanese Arabic-French children aged 4–9. Fictional storytelling and narrative comprehension tasks were administered in both languages, using the Multilingual Assessment Instrument… read more
2018 Sentence repetition and language impairment in French-speaking children with ASD On the Acquisition of the Syntax of Romance, Gavarró, Anna (ed.), pp. 235–258 | Chapter
This study investigates formal language abilities in French-speaking children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We report on the usefulness of the LITMUS-Sentence-Repetition-French task in distinguishing children with impaired language (ASD-LI) from children with normal language (ASD-LN). We… read more

We report on the usefulness of three LITMUS tools in distinguishing bilingual children with SLI (Bi-SLI) from bilingual children with typical development (Bi-TD), in France: LITMUS-NWR-FR (non-word repetition), LITMUS-SR-FR (sentence repetition), and LITMUS-PABIQ (parental questionnaire). 82… read more
2017 Complexity and production/comprehension asymmetries in the acquisition of wh-questions in French: Comparing second language acquisition and language impairment in children Cross-linguistic Influence in Bilingualism: In honor of Aafke Hulk, Blom, Elma, Leonie Cornips and Jeannette Schaeffer (eds.), pp. 231–258 | Chapter
Assuming that production places a greater burden on processing than comprehension, this study explores the hypothesis that both the degree of linguistic computational complexity entailed in a particular structure and the processing capacity of the speakers determine if and when… read more
2008 Truncation in child L2 acquisition: Evidence from verbless utterances Current Trends in Child Second Language Acquisition: A generative perspective, Haznedar, Belma and Elena Gavruseva (eds.), pp. 177–207 | Article
This chapter examines the nature of verbless utterances, namely utterances requiring a copula or a lexical verb in the target language, in longitudinal production data of two English-speaking children learning French (aged 5;4 and 5;8 at the onset of acquisition). It is suggested that such… read more
2006 Is the semantics/syntax interface vulnerable in l2 acquisition? Focus on mood distinctions clauses in L2 Spanish The Acquisition of Syntax in Romance Languages, Torrens, Vincent and Linda Escobar (eds.), pp. 353–369 | Article
We examine the L2 acquisition by English native speakers of the interpretation of DPs as signaled by mood in Spanish relative clauses. The choice of mood here depends on the specificity of the DP head, not on grammaticality. Modal contexts license non-specific interpretations of DPs and L2 learners… read more
2006 Specificity in Spanish: The syntax/semantics interface in SLA EUROSLA Yearbook: Volume 6 (2006), Foster-Cohen, Susan H., Marta Medved Krajnovic and Jelena Mihaljević Djigunović (eds.), pp. 57–78 | Article
Recent proposals argue that interface areas such as syntax/semantics and syntax/pragmatics are particularly difficult for adult learners, in comparison to purely syntactic phenomena (Sorace 2003, 2004). In contrast, other research shows that L2 learners are able to acquire target representations… read more
