2023 Factors that moderate global similarity in initial L3 transfer: Intervocalic voiced stops in heritage Spanish/English bilinguals’ L3 Italian Structural similarity across domains in third language acquisition, Kolb, Nadine, Natalia Mitrofanova and Marit Westergaard (eds.), pp. 638–662 | Article
Much of the formal linguistic research on third language (L3) acquisition has focused on transfer source selection, with the overall finding that (global) structural similarity between the L1/L2 and L3 is the strongest predictor of initial transfer patterns. Recently, Cabrelli and Pichan (2021)… read more
2022 Chapter 7. What can syntactic priming tell us about crosslinguistic influence? Syntactic Priming in Language Acquisition: Representations, mechanisms and applications, Messenger, Katherine (ed.), pp. 129–156 | Chapter
When a child is simultaneously exposed to two different languages, they will need to parse the incoming input, and map form to meaning to create mental representations that are consistent with those of the adult speakers of those languages. How exactly bilingual children do this, the extent to… read more

The chapter starts by providing an overview of the many factors that contribute to children’s bilingual experience including the societal context and the social status of the two languages, the household composition and the access to native speakers, the age of first exposure, the distance… read more
2018 Chapter 1. Studies in bilingualism: 25 years in the making Bilingual Cognition and Language: The state of the science across its subfields, Miller, David, Fatih Bayram, Jason Rothman and Ludovica Serratrice (eds.), pp. 1–12 | Chapter
2016 Cross-linguistic influence, cross-linguistic priming and the nature of shared syntactic structures Epistemological issue with keynote article “The development of bimodal bilingualism: Implications for linguistic theory” by Diane Lillo-Martin, Ronice Müller de Quadros and Deborah Chen Pichler, pp. 822–827 | Commentary
2015 Referential expressions in bilingual acquisition The Acquisition of Reference, Serratrice, Ludovica and Shanley E.M. Allen (eds.), pp. 311–333 | Article
Just like monolingual children, bilingual children need to carve up the referential space to understand and produce discourse-appropriate referential expressions. In the case of bilinguals, this demanding task additionally requires language-specific form-function mappings that may be structurally… read more
2015 Introduction: An overview of the acquisition of reference The Acquisition of Reference, Serratrice, Ludovica and Shanley E.M. Allen (eds.), pp. 1–24 | Introduction
This chapter serves as an introduction to The Acquisition of Reference. The volume brings together influential recent research on the study of children’s comprehension and production of reference, with a focus on discourse-pragmatic approaches and cross-linguistic comparison. In this chapter, we… read more
2013 Cross-linguistic influence in bilingual development: Determinants and mechanisms Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 3:1, pp. 3–25 | Article
Since seminal work in the late ‘80s the general consensus in the literature is that children who are regularly exposed to two languages from birth or soon after can acquire them as largely independent systems. In recent years the focus has shifted from the issue of language differentiation to the… read more
