Smith, Giuditta, Roberta Spelorzi, Antonella Sorace and Maria Garraffa 2023 Inter-generational attrition: Language transmission between long-term UK residents and heritage speakers of Italian on production of clitic pronouns Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism: Online-First Articles | Article

The phenomenon of language change in contact has been explored most significantly in speakers of a language who migrate, while fewer studies explore how language is affected across different generations. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of inter-generational attrition on the… read more

Recent research has shown that the bilingual experience has positive effects on non-linguistic cognition (Bialystok, 2009; Costa & Sebastian-Gallés, 2014) but also negative effects on language, for example on vocabulary size and lexical fluency (Pearson et al., 1993). While most of the linguistic… read more

Wolleb, Anna, Antonella Sorace and Marit Westergaard 2019 Chapter 10. Language control and executive control: Can studies on language processing distinguish the two? Bilingualism, Executive Function, and Beyond: Questions and insights, Sekerina, Irina A., Lauren Spradlin and Virginia Valian (eds.), pp. 147–160 | Chapter

In this paper, we review recent literature on the cognitive benefits of bilingualism and suggest that studies focusing on language processing can provide insights in the debate surrounding the “bilingual advantage hypothesis”. We argue that cross-language priming can be a useful research tool,… read more

Wolleb, Anna, Antonella Sorace and Marit Westergaard 2018 Exploring the role of cognitive control in syntactic processing: Evidence from cross-language priming in bilingual children Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 8:5, pp. 606–636 | Article

In this paper, we explore the role of cognition in bilingual syntactic processing by employing a structural priming paradigm. A group of Norwegian-English bilingual children and an age-matched group of Norwegian monolingual children were tested in a priming task that included both a… read more

Recent research has shown that the bilingual experience has positive effects on non-linguistic cognition (Bialystok 2009; Costa and Sebastian-Gallés 2014) but also negative effects on language, for example on vocabulary size and lexical fluency (Pearson et al. 1993).

Sorace, Antonella 2011 Epistemological issue with keynote article “Pinning down of “interface” in bilingualism” by Antonella Sorace, pp. 1–33 | Keynote article

The Interface Hypothesis (IH) was put forward by Sorace and colleagues as an attempt to account for patterns of non-convergence and residual optionality found at very advanced stages of adult second (L2)acquisition. The IH originally proposed that language structures involving an interface between… read more
