Interpretation of English Reflexives by Adolescent Speakers of Serbo-Croatian.
Bennett, Susan
Second Language Research, v10 n2 p125-56 Jun 1994
In a study of first-language transfer and second-language (L2) acquisition of reflexive binding, the interpretation of English reflexives by native speakers of Serbo-Croatian was investigated using two types of written sentence comprehension tasks. Results support the transfer hypothesis and suggest learners have access to Universal Grammar in L2 acquisition. (Contains 64 references.) (Author/LB)
