This paper reports on a study investigating restrictions on definiteness (the Definiteness Effect) in existential constructions in the two languages of Turkish heritage speakers in Germany. Turkish and German differ in how the Definiteness Effect plays out. Definite expressions in German may not… read more
2017 Towards the use of phonological markedness and extraprosodicity in accounting for morphological errors in Specific Language Impairment Language, Interaction and Acquisition 8:2, pp. 234–272 | Article
Certain grammatical morphemes are variably produced in the speech of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). Previous research tends to view this as a consequence of either a deficit in linguistic knowledge or a limitation in processing capacity; however, both approaches raise problems.… read more
2016 Acquisition of L2 Turkish prosody: The effects of purely phonological and phonosyntactic issues Second Language Acquisition of Turkish, Gürel, Ayşe (ed.), pp. 19–48 | Article
This paper investigates second language acquisition of lower-level (i.e. word-level) and higher-level prosody in Turkish to address the role of Universal Grammar (UG) via two different studies. The results of the first study demonstrate that lower-level prosody presents particular challenges for… read more
2016 Decreasing dependence on orthography in phonological development: Evidence from vowel harmony in English-Turkish interlanguage Second Language Acquisition of Turkish, Gürel, Ayşe (ed.), pp. 49–72 | Article

/rol/ <rol> are both represented as <l>. This contrast… read more
2012 Restrictions on definiteness in second language acquisition: Affirmative and negative existentials in the L2 English of Turkish and Russian speakers Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 2:1, pp. 54–89 | Article
In this paper we investigate whether learners of L2 English show knowledge of the Definiteness Effect (Milsark, 1977), which restricts definite expressions from appearing in the existential there-insertion construction. There are crosslinguistic differences in how restrictions on definiteness play… read more
