  2. Bilingual Innovations(Word-internal code-switching) • muzi [move + zuzi] (2;6 - Walters) • noce [no + roce] (2;1 - Walters) • Hi maflisha et ha-toilet (Savion 3;1) • Hi hekika oti (Savion 4;0) • *EFR: really? who are these? *YAR: the wolfim. (Yarden 3;7) 6. I'm LAVing PANDELCAGEs. I'm making pancakes, (Danish-English adult, Petersen, 1988)

  4. “We have evidence for cases in which a suffix is added to a noun in order to agree with the determiner, as in • (6a), where the German word Krone is changed into crona, making it more similar to the Italian equivalent corona. • We also find a German noun - Topf - with the suffix -ino, which is an Italian diminuitive, as reported in (6b). • In (6c) a suffix is taken away in order to apply the phonological rules of the base language: the Italian word gusto appears without the suffix to make it sound more German. Note that a compound - fruitflavor - has been created using two items from two different languages. • The example (6d) contains the Italian word viola with the German comparative suffix -ren. • In (6e) the Italian word stem cas – is used with the German plural ending -en, creating houses, • in (6f) the same operation creates ice-creams” (Kantone, p. 491)

  6. Portin, M. & K. Laine. 2001. Processing cost associated with inflectional morphology in bilingual speakers. Bilingualism: Language and Cognition 4 (1), 2001, 55-62 • Bilinguals are slower • Derived words yield shorter reaction time and fewer errors • Inflected words (with two inflections) yield longest reaction time and more errors

  7. Lowie, Wander. (1998). The Acquisition of Interlanguage Morphology. A study into the role of morphology in the L2 learner’s mental lexicon. Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Doctoral Dissertation. • Suffixes that exhibited both formal and semantic similarity are acquired first (e.g. – deriving nouns: ity/ité) • Suffixes with semantic but not formal similarity are acquired next (e.g. – deriving adverbs: ly/ment) • Suffixes with formal but not semantic similarity are last (e.g. – false cognates ment - deriving nouns / ment – deriving adverbs). • More errors in identifying the syntactic category of derived words than in identifying the meaning.

Proceedings of the 8th Generative Approaches to Second Language AcquisitionConference (GASLA 2006), ed. Mary Grantham O’Brien, Christine Shea, and John Archibald, 72-79. Mandarin-English (4) I tried to analysis what kind of a person M. is (5) when my father went bankruptcy (6) God try to give us his wisdom and happy

  9. Subjects: 10 NS and 1 Adult L2. • Method: A multiple choice test with 20 real words and 20 nonce-words Real word Nonce word

  10. The errors suggest both the incomplete acquisition of morphological mapping (i.e., knowing which forms “go with” which features or categories) and performance error (e.g., in lexical retrieval).

Roumyana Slabakova et al., 181-187. Somerville, MA: Cascadilla ProceedingsProject. English- French 1) Les Français sont très sexualités. ‘the French are very sexuality’ (2) En Tintin il y a beaucoup de stéréotypiques d’Amérique. ‘in Tintin there are many stereotypicals of America’ (3) Elle est la vraiment princesse. ‘she is the truly princess’

  12. Subjects: 23 2nd semester French, 26 4th semester, 19 6th semester • Method: A grammaticality Judgment task Derived Base

  13. Learners are capable of identifying morphological mismatches • The ability to correctly reject ungrammatical sentences improves with proficiency level. • Base forms and derived forms are not treated differently in judging acceptability • Effects are clearer at higher levels • However, production errors are frequent among advanced learners (performance rather than a processing).
