Underdetermined Binding of Reflexives by Adult Japanese-Speaking Learners of English.

Hamilton, Robert

Second Language Research, v14 n3 p292-320 1998

Reports an experimental study on the acquisition of English reflexives by adult Japanese-speaking learners of English. Consonant with a review of previous studies on binding in second-language acquisition, results of the experiment yield no evidence of an interlanguage grammar that is illicit with respect to universal grammar.
