Abstract:

This book addresses how cross-linguistic interference is represented
in the bilingual mind. Examining novel oral production data from older
bilingual children representing two Quechua varieties, this research
concludes that interference in the feature specification of functional
categories leads to language change in a language contact situation,
and links convergence, a common set of feature values for the same
functional category in both languages to the activation of features
related to the informational structure of the sentence. These
mechanisms are illustrated in detail by the presence of overt
determiners, canonical SVO word order and the absence of accusative
marking in bilingual Quechua and by neutralization of case and gender
distinctions in direct object pronouns as well as in the emergence of
null pronouns with definite antecedents in bilingual Spanish.
