2014 On second language processing and grammatical development: The parser in second language acquisition* Parsing to Learn, Dekydtspotter, Laurent and Claire Renaud (eds.), pp. 131–165 | Introduction
The parsing-to-learn hypothesis (Fodor, 1998) identifying the parser as the language acquisition device (PLAD) is discussed for second-language (L2) grammatical acquisition. Parsing is assumed to involve concomitant UG-sanctioned structure generation and licensing by a parameterized lexicon. In… read more
2014 A processing investigation of the accessibility of the uninterpretable gender feature in L2 French and L2 Spanish adjective agreement Parsing to Learn, Dekydtspotter, Laurent and Claire Renaud (eds.), pp. 222–255 | Introduction
Lardiere (2009) hypothesizes that second-language (L2) grammar development involves the reassembly of features in the constraints of Universal Grammar. Feature reassembly assumes the domain-specific Agree operation, in which an (interpretable) feature on a probing node values an uninterpretable… read more
2013 8. Using eye tracking as a measure of foreign language learners’ noticing of recasts during computer-mediated writing conferences Second Language Interaction in Diverse Educational Contexts, McDonough, Kim and Alison Mackey (eds.), pp. 147–166 | Chapter
This study used eye tracking to explore the relationship between second-language recasts, noticing, and learning during computer-mediated communication. Learners’ eye fixations were used as a measure of noticing. We examined the relationship between occurrence, number, and duration of fixations and… read more
2010 Feature assembly in early stages of L2 acquisition: Processing evidence from L2 French Research in Second Language Processing and Parsing, VanPatten, Bill and Jill Jegerski (eds.), pp. 135–156 | Article
Based on the feature assembly hypothesis (e.g. Lardiere, 2009), and assuming a universal parser, early stages of second language (L2) acquisition are investigated in this paper. Using a methodology that combines reading time and acceptability judgment data, it is argued that L2 learners’ processing… read more
