2021. Chapter 8. On the nature of crosslinguistic influence: Root infinitives revisited. L1 Acquisition and L2 Learning: The view from Romance, Avram, Larisa, Anca Sevcenco and Veronica Tomescu (eds.), pp. 203–228

Root Infinitives (RI) in Spanish have an infinitival marker, while in English they are bare forms. For languages like English, the RI stage has been said to be longer and to have a higher incidence than in Spanish. Within Liceras, Bel, and Perales’ (2006) typology of an RI universal stage, Spanish… read more | Chapter

Liceras, Juana M. and Rachel Klassen. 2019. Compounding and derivation: On the ‘promiscuity’ of derivational affixes. Representation and Processing in Bilingual Morphology, Austin, Jennifer R. (ed.), pp. 42–72

Inflectional affixes only adhere to the head of Noun-Noun (NN) compounds which implies that the plural of casa cuna (‘crib house’) or hombre lobo (‘werewolf’) is casa-s cuna (‘crib houses’) and hombre-s lobo (‘werewolves’) respectively, while *casa cuna-s and *hombre lobo-s ‒ with the plural… read more | Article

Fernández Fuertes, Raquel, Juana M. Liceras and Anahí Alba de la Fuente. 2016. Beyond the subject DP versus the subject pronoun divide in agreement switches. Romance Linguistics 2013: Selected papers from the 43rd Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), New York, 17-19 April, 2013, Tortora, Christina, Marcel den Dikken, Ignacio L. Montoya and Teresa O'Neill (eds.), pp. 79–98

Previous code-switching literature argues that no switch takes place between a pronoun and a verb, while Determiner Phrases (DPs) do code-switch. This paper uses code-switching acceptability judgment data elicited from three groups of English–Spanish bilinguals (2L1 children, L2 English children… read more | Article

Liceras, Juana M. 2016. Linguistic theory and the Synthesis Model: Beyond feature matching restrictions. Epistemological issue with keynote article “The development of bimodal bilingualism: Implications for linguistic theory” by Diane Lillo-Martin, Ronice Müller de Quadros and Deborah Chen Pichler, pp. 776–781

Liceras, Juana M., Raquel Fernández Fuertes and Rachel Klassen. 2016. Language dominance and language nativeness: The view from English-Spanish codeswitching. Spanish-English Codeswitching in the Caribbean and the US, Guzzardo Tamargo, Rosa E., Catherine M. Mazak and M. Carmen Parafita Couto (eds.), pp. 107–138

Investigating the interpretation and production of codeswitched structures involving functional and lexical categories by bilingual speakers constitutes a reliable tool to assess language dominance and/or nativeness. Language dominance has been described and measured in the context of bilingualism… read more | Article

Liceras, Juana M. and Anahí Alba de la Fuente. 2015. Typological proximity in L2 acquisition: The Spanish non-native grammar of French speakers. The Acquisition of Spanish in Understudied Language Pairings, Judy, Tiffany and Silvia Perpiñán (eds.), pp. 329–358

Typologically-close languages such as French and Spanish share many typological universals and macroparametric options but display different microparametric options as well as obvious and subtle morphological, syntactic and processing differences. This counterposed situation that we conceptualize… read more | Article

Liceras, Juana M. 2011. : On narrow syntax, directionality and input. Epistemological issue with keynote article “Pinning down of “interface” in bilingualism” by Antonella Sorace, pp. 54–57

Commentary

Fernández Fuertes, Raquel, Juana M. Liceras and Esther Álvarez de la Fuente. 2008. Linguistic theory and bilingual systems: Simultaneous and sequential English/Spanish bilingualism. Languages and Cultures in Contrast and Comparison, Gómez González, María de los Ángeles, J. Lachlan Mackenzie and Elsa M. González Álvarez (eds.), pp. 275–297

Using data from simultaneous and sequential bilingualism, we address a series of learnability issues by investigating the acquisition of four different structures: (i) the [Gender] feature of the Spanish Determiner in the production of English/ Spanish mixed Determiner Phrases; (ii) the… read more | Article

García Mayo, María del Pilar, Amparo Lázaro-Ibarrola and Juana M. Liceras. 2006. Agreement in the English Interlanguage of Basque/Spanish Bilinguals: a Minimalist Farewell to pro. ITL - International Journal of Applied Linguistics 151, pp. 83–98

This study investigates the status of subject pronouns in the English interlanguage of Basque-Spanish bilinguals from a minimalist perspective. The oral production of 20 participants was analyzed at two different points in their acquisition of English (Time 1:396 hours of exposure; Time 2:564 hours… read more | Article
