Hopp, Holger 2021 Chapter 8. Prediction and grammatical learning in second language sentence processing Prediction in Second Language Processing and Learning, Kaan, Edith and Theres Grüter (eds.), pp. 167–186 | Chapter

With a focus on grammatical processing, the chapter surveys recent studies that investigate how second language (L2) learners learn to predict and whether they use prediction for learning the L2 grammar. This chapter first reviews theoretical approaches to the roles of prediction and prediction… read more

Hopp, Holger, Michael T. Putnam and Nora Vosburg 2019 Derivational complexity vs. transfer effects: Long-distance wh -movement in heritage and L2 grammars Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 9:3, pp. 341–375 | Article

We investigate whether non-target wh-questions in heritage Low German and L2 English speakers are due primarily to cross-linguistic transfer or the reduction of grammatical complexity in developing grammars as modelled by the Derivational Complexity Hypothesis (DCH, Jakubowicz 2005). Previous… read more

Hopp, Holger, Teresa Kieseier, Markus Vogelbacher and Dieter Thoma 2018 L1 effects in the early L3 acquisition of vocabulary and grammar Foreign Language Education in Multilingual Classrooms, Bonnet, Andreas and Peter Siemund (eds.), pp. 305–330 | Chapter

This chapter explores cross-linguistic influences in the lexical and grammatical acquisition of L3 English among child L2 learners of German with a variety of L1 backgrounds. For lexical development, we find interrelations in vocabulary size between L1, L2 and English lexicons. For grammar, a… read more

Hopp, Holger 2017 Cross-linguistic lexical and syntactic co-activation in L2 sentence processing Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 7:1, pp. 96–130 | Article

This study investigates under which conditions the L1 syntax is activated in L2 on-line sentence comprehension. We study whether cross-linguistic syntactic activation of the L1 word order is affected by lexical activation of the first language (L1) by virtue of cognate words. In two eye-tracking… read more

Hopp, Holger 2015 Differential learning of prediction Epistemological issue with keynote article “The role of language processing in language acquisition” by Colin Phillips and Lara Ehrenhofer, pp. 476–481 | Commentary

Hopp, Holger and Michael T. Putnam 2015 Syntactic restructuring in heritage grammars: Word order variation in Moundridge Schweitzer German Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 5:2, pp. 180–214 | Article

In order to elucidate the structure of heritage grammars, this paper presents an analysis of word order variation in Moundridge Schweitzer German (MSG), a moribund heritage variety of German spoken in South Central Kansas. Based on elicited production data and an acceptability judgment task, we… read more

Hopp, Holger 2011 Internal and external factors in the child L2 development of the German determiner phrase Internal and External Factors in Child Second Language Acquisition, Hulk, Aafke and Theodoros Marinis (eds.), pp. 238–264 | Article

This paper studies the development of the German determiner phrase (DP) in 60 child second-language (L2) learners of German between the ages of 3;5 and 7;0. We consider case and gender marking as well as gender concord and test for effects of internal (age, age of onset) and external (length of… read more
