BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

This corpus contains oral and written experimental production data from a total of 106 sequential bilingual children for whom English was their L2. These children belong to three groups depending on whether their L1 was Spanish (n=33), Bosnian (n=39) or Danish (n=34). Within each language group, two subgroups appear depending on the time of exposure the children have had to the L2 (either 2 or 4 years). The data were collected in the schools the participants attended in the country where they lived (i.e., Spain, Denmark, and Bosnia). The criteria applied when selecting the participants were the following: - both parents and the child had to share the same L1 (Spanish, Bosnian or Danish depending on the group); - the L2 of the participants had to be English (if the participants had an L3 which they started learning as part of the curricula during the 3rd or the 4th year of instruction of the L2, they were not excluded from the study; otherwise, they were excluded); - the participants had only received instruction in the L2 in educational settings; - the participants had received instruction for either 2 or 4 years at their primary school; - the participants who took part in any exchange programs or lived in an English-speaking country for longer than two weeks were excluded from the study., UVALAL, 1.

This investigation is focused on the contact between [+null subject] and [-null subject] languages. More specifically, it aims at characterizing the nature of crosslinguistic influence from the L1 into the L2 in the specific case of sentential subjects. The target language is L2 English (a [-null subject] language) and three different L1s are considered (i.e., Bosnian and Spanish as [+null subject] languages; and Danish as a [-null subject] language). The study addresses three issues: (i) the role of typology in terms of whether subjects in the L2 share the same parametric option as that in each participant’s L1; (ii) the role of the amount of L2 English exposure in institutional contexts (i.e., 2 and 4 years); and (iii) the role of modality in the data collection process (i.e., oral and written production data). A total of 78 sequential bilingual children with different language pairs have participated: 26 L1 Spanish-L2 English, 26 L1 Bosnian-L2 English and 26 L1 Danish-L2 English. Also 13 L1 English children participated as a control group. Both oral and written production data have been elicited via a free production task and a story telling task, respectively., UVALAL, 1.
