  Early clausal roots from an L1, (early) L2 and “double L1” perspective

Rosemarie Tracy
University of Mannheim

ABSTRACT:

While we still do not know as much about language
acquisition as we would like, we know enough to begin to
draw interesting conclusions from similarities and differences
across acquisition types. In my presentation I shall look at
early clause structure (mainly focussing on English and
German) in monolingual children and in bilingual children
growing up with two first languages or acquiring their L2
(German) at the age of 3-4. I shall compare developmental
stages and offer some hypotheses on the relative complexity of
the target languages involved. In addition, I will draw
attention to what bilingual children can teach us about their
own perspective on cross-linguistic equivalence.
