From Emergence to Acquisition: Developmental Issues in Arabic Interlanguage Morphology.
Mansouri, Fethi
Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, v20 n1 p83-104 1997
Investigates the effect of competing structures (pragmatics, semantics and morphosyntax) on the development of Arabic subject-verb agreement morphology and marking in Arabic interlanguage among Australian students of Arabic. Findings indicate that linguistic complexity influences the processing strategies employed and determines the order of acquisition of different agreement patterns. (43 references) (Author/CK)
