2024 Chapter 11. “And yet it moves”: Finding a place for phonology in the GenSLA cosmos Current Perspectives on Generative SLA - Processing, Influence, and Interfaces: Selected proceedings of the 16th Generative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition Conference, Velnić, Marta, Anne Dahl and Kjersti Faldet Listhaug (eds.), pp. 264–289 | Chapter
The study of Lx phonology is under-represented in the GenSLA literature. I argue that this is largely because the complex learnability issues in the phonological domain have been under-appreciated. Drawing on examples from features and syllables, I illustrate that the acquisition of phonology is… read more
2024 Chapter 13. Phonological features and phonetic variation in multilingual grammars: Restructuring an L3 contrastive hierarchy Multilingual Acquisition and Learning: An ecosystemic view to diversity, Babatsouli, Elena (ed.), pp. 348–379 | Chapter
Drawing on Archibald (2022a, b), the chapter shows how a contrastive hierarchy model of segmental phonology can provide formal model of determining cross-linguistic similarity. Looking primarily at Arabic-French learners of English, the L1 and L2 features (including the markedness value of the… read more
2024 The efficacy of lexical stress diacritics on the English comprehensibility and accentedness of Korean speakers Pedagogical Linguistics 5:1, pp. 76–101 | Article
The purpose of the study was to examine the efficacy of lexical stress diacritics on the English comprehensibility and accentedness of Korean speakers. To this end, 30 native Korean participants read aloud 15 English sentences without diacritics in the pretest. Then, they were given explicit… read more
2023 Phonological parsing via an integrated I-language: The emergence of property-by-property transfer effects in L3 phonology Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 13:6, pp. 743–766 | Article
Schwartz and Sprouse (2021) argue against property-by-property Transfer (Westergaard, 2021a, b) and for wholesale transfer (Rothman, 2015) into a third language grammar by questioning the cognitive plausibility of “extracting a proper subpart from the … grammar and using that proper sub-system… read more
2023 Using a contrastive hierarchy to formalize structural similarity as I-proximity in L3 phonology Structural similarity across domains in third language acquisition, Kolb, Nadine, Natalia Mitrofanova and Marit Westergaard (eds.), pp. 614–637 | Article
In this paper I argue that cross-linguistic similarity in third language acquisition is determined by a structural hierarchy of contrastive phonological features. Such an approach allows us formalize a predictive notion of I-proximity which also provides an explanatory model of L2, and L3… read more
2022 Feature dependency and the poverty of the stimulus in the acquisition of L2 German plural allomorphy Generative SLA in the Age of Minimalism: Features, interfaces, and beyond, Leal, Tania, Elena Shimanskaya and Casilde A. Isabelli (eds.), pp. 117–136 | Chapter
In this study, I investigated the acquisition of L2 German plural allomorphy via a written production task of classroom learners in North America. Trommer (2015) has argued that the mutual exclusivity of marking plural by either an [n] suffix or an umlauted (i.e. [CORONAL]) stem vowel derives from… read more
1993 Metrical Phonology and the Acquisition of L2 Stress Confluence: Linguistics, L2 acquisition and speech pathology, Eckman, Fred (ed.), pp. 37–48 | Article
1989 A lexical model of color space Linguistic Categorization: Proceedings of an International Symposium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, April 10–11, 1987, Corrigan, Roberta, Fred Eckman and Michael Noonan (eds.), pp. 31–53 | Article
