We examine the acquisition of the English count-mass distinction, in particular flexible nouns. Certain nouns are flexible in English as they can be either countable like a cake / cakes or mass such as cake. Our study is unique regarding the off-line and on-line tasks used and the L2 participant… read more

The present study examines the acquisition of definite noun phrases (NPs) in L2 English. Both English and Spanish have a definite article, but Japanese lacks articles, though definite anaphoric and definite non-anaphoric are present to some degree through the optional use of sono (the/that). A… read more
