Olioumtsevits, Konstantina, Despina Papadopoulou and Theodoros Marinis. 2023. Second language grammar learning in refugee children: Is group dictation an effective teaching technique?. Pedagogical Linguistics 4:1, pp. 50–76
This exploratory study aims to investigate the effectiveness of group dictation in primary school children with a refugee background. More specifically, running dictation was employed in the teaching of two grammatical phenomena in L2 Greek, tense and gender agreement. Two studies were conducted… read more | Article
Al-Hassan, Mada Abdullah and Theodoros Marinis. 2021. Sentence repetition in children with autism spectrum disorder in Saudi Arabia: An investigation of morphosyntactic abilities. Experimental Arabic Linguistics, Ntelitheos, Dimitrios and Tommi Tsz-Cheung Leung (eds.), pp. 143–176
This study investigated the morphosyntactic abilities of Saudi Arabic-speaking children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using a Saudi Arabic Sentence Repetition Task (Saudi-SRT) developed for this study. The first objective of the study was to determine whether Saudi Arabic-speaking children… read more | Chapter
Aveledo, Fraibet, Yolanda Higueras, Theodoros Marinis, Arpita Bose, Christos Pliatsikas, Ariana Meldaña-Rivera, María Luisa Martínez-Ginés, José Manuel García-Domínguez, Alberto Lozano-Ros, Juan Pablo Cuello and Haydee Goicochea-Briceño. 2021. Multiple sclerosis and bilingualism: Some initial findings. Bi-/Multilingualism and the Declining Brain, Pliatsikas, Christos, Ana Inés Ansaldo and Toms Voits (eds.), pp. 551–577
It has been suggested that bilingualism is beneficial for executive control and could have positive long-term effects by delaying the onset of symptoms of degenerative diseases. This research investigates, for the first time, the impact of bilingualism on executive control (monitoring and… read more | Article
Hofweber, Julia, Theodoros Marinis and Jeanine Treffers-Daller. 2019. Chapter 11. Effects of dense code-switching on executive control. Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 161–180
Bilingualism is reported to re-structure executive control networks, but it remains unknown which aspects of the bilingual experience cause this modulation. This study explores the impact of three code-switching types on executive functions: (1) alternation, (2) insertion, and (3) dense… read more | Chapter
Hofweber, Julia, Theodoros Marinis and Jeanine Treffers-Daller. 2019. Chapter 12. Predicting executive functions in bilinguals using ecologically valid measures of code-switching behavior. Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 181–206
One of the factors claimed to impact executive functions in bilinguals is code-switching. New insights into how exactly code-switching affects executive functions can be obtained if attention is paid to the kind of code-switching bilinguals engage in, and not just the frequency of code-switching.… read more | Chapter

Introduction
Chapter
In this study, we examined whether Turkish-speaking child L2 learners of English omitted or substituted indefinite articles in a production task that comprised a referential specific and a non-referential predicational semantic context. We also examined the source of children’s errors using a… read more | Article

Bilingualism is reported to re-structure executive control networks, but it remains unknown which aspects of the bilingual experience cause this modulation. This study explores the impact of three code-switching types on executive functions: (1) alternation, (2) insertion, and (3) dense… read more | Article
Terzi, Arhonto, Theodoros Marinis and Konstantinos Francis. 2016. Syntax and its interfaces at the low and high ends of the autism spectrum. Biolinguistic Investigations on the Language Faculty, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. 195–212
Studies on the language abilities in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have tended to include individuals across the spectrum, with the consequence that the ensuing picture is rarely clear. Most recent studies setting apart individuals at the lower end of the autism spectrum have discovered severe… read more | Article

Chondrogianni, Vicky and Theodoros Marinis. 2011. . Internal and External Factors in Child Second Language Acquisition, Hulk, Aafke and Theodoros Marinis (eds.), pp. 318–345
The present study investigates the effects of child internal (age/time) and child external/environmental factors on the development of a wide range of language domains in successive bilingual (L2) Turkish-English children of homogeneously low SES. Forty-three L2 children were tested on standardized… read more | Article

This paper investigates the linguistic performance of a group of English-Spanish­ bilingual children (N = 44, age range: 10–14) with different degrees of language dominance in their use of the Spanish preposition ‘a’ using a completion task which measures the different conditions that relate to the… read more | Article

Introduction
Chapter
Guijarro-Fuentes, Pedro and Theodoros Marinis. 2007. Acquiring phenomena at the syntax/semantics interface in L2 Spanish: The personal preposition a. EUROSLA Yearbook: Volume 7 (2007), Roberts, Leah, Ayşe Gürel, Sibel Tatar and Leyla Martı (eds.), pp. 67–88
Recent second language (L2) acquisition research has proposed that purely syntactic features are easier to acquire and less vulnerable than ones involving the interfaces (Sorace, 2004; Serratrice et al. 2004). The present paper addresses this issue by investigating the acquisition of the Spanish… read more | Article
