The Interpretive Interface in L2 Acquisition: The Process-Result Distinction in English-French Interlanguage Grammars.
Dekydtspotter, Laurent; Sprouse, Rex A.; Anderson, Bruce
Language Acquisition, v6 n4 p297-332 1997
This study documents the sensitivity of English-French interlanguage to the process-result distinction with respect to the licensing of multiple postnominal genitives, despite a lack of direct positive or negative evidence for this distinction in the input. Documentation argues that the Universal Grammar-governed map between syntactic structures and semantic interpretation guides the development of interlanguage grammars. (Author/JL)
