arabic acquisition

[Peter Gordon]

My ex-student Reem Khamis-Dakwar completed a dissertation on comparisons of
grammaticality judgments for Modern Standard Arabic (the formal language)
and Palestinian colloquial Arabic.  It is currently under review, I've asked
her to pass along a copy to you.  She is also working with Karen Froud on
ERP signatures for diglossic code switching and comparing these to ERP
effects in bilingualism.
