This investigation is focused on determining how bilingual children translate from one of their first languages to the other when they need to communicate. We examine the oral production of bilingual children with different language pairs as available in the CHILDES (Child Language Data Exchange System) (https://childes.talkbank.org/) project (MacWhinney 2000) (i.e., the FerFuLice, Ticio, Deuchar, Vila, GNP and Pérez-Bazán corpora) as well as in other compilation forms (i.e., Ronjat 1913; Leopold 1939–1949; Swain 1972; Lanza 1988, 1997, 2001; Cossato 2008), covering two types of data: spontaneous, where the children interact with adults in a natural context (e.g., at home); and experimental, where the children act as interpreters between two monolingual researchers. The analysis of how these bilingual children interpret between their two first languages provides valuable information about the linguistic resources and translation strategies that these children use to communicate in a bilingual context through their interpreting performance., UVALAL, 1.

This corpus contains spontaneous productions from a longitudinal study of two English/Spanish bilingual identical twins with the pseudonyms of Simon and Leo. They were born 28-DEC-1998 into a middle-class family in Spain. The father is a native speaker of Peninsular Spanish, and the mother is a native speaker of American English. The father always speaks to the children in Spanish and the mother always addresses them in English. The parents generally communicate in Spanish with each other, except on summers when they travel to the United States for approximately two months or when a monolingual English speaker is present. Therefore, we are dealing with bilingual English/Spanish first language acquisition in a monolingual-Spanish social context, a type of bilingualism that is referred to in the literature as individual bilingualism (Bhatia and Ritchie, 2004)., UVALAL (University of Valladolid Language Acquisition Lab), 1.

This study aims to explore how monolingual and bilingual children acquire two types of English and Spanish dative alternation (DA) structures, namely, prepositional and double object constructions. We examine the spontaneous oral production of these children, as available in the CHILDES project (Child Language Data Exchange System; https://childes.talkbank.org/) (MacWhinney 2000) (i.e., English monolingual corpora: Brown, Cruttenden, MacWhinney, Sachs, Suppes and Wells; Spanish monolingual corpora: Linaza, Marrero and Ornat; and English-Spanish bilingual corpora: Deuchar, FerFuLice, Pérez-Bazán and Ticio). In these corpora, the children interact with adults (mainly, parents, but also caregivers or researchers). The analysis of how these monolingual and bilingual children acquire their first language(s), in general, and the constructions at stake, in particular, sheds light on the relationship that is present in the acquisition of process of these constructions across English and Spanish. In this respect, the findings elucidate whether the syntactic derivational relationship (or lack thereof) between prepositional and double object constructions is similar or differs across the two languages under investigation and across the two child groups (monolinguals and bilinguals)., UVALAL, 1.

This investigation is focused on the crosslinguistic influence between the two first languages (L1s) of bilingual children in the domain of direct objects. We examine the oral production of bilingual children with two different language pairs (i.e., Cantonese-English and Spanish-English) and compare it with that of the monolingual English and monolingual Cantonese children. All the data have been taken from the CHILDES project (Child Language Data Exchange System; https://childes.talkbank.org/) (MacWhinney 2000) (i.e., Cantonese-English bilingual corpus: YipMatthews; Spanish-English bilingual corpus: FerFuLice; English monolingual corpora: Sachs, Bloom, Demetras-Trevor; Cantonese monolingual corpus: Lee/Wong/Leung). These corpora comprise spontaneous data where the children interact with adults in a natural context (e.g., at home). While null objects are possible and pervasive in Cantonese, their occurrence in languages like English and Spanish is rather restricted. The analysis of how Cantonese-English bilingual children produce direct objects in a quantitatively and qualitatively different way when compared to their Spanish-English bilingual and English monolingual counterparts provides valuable information about the nature and the directionality of crosslinguistic influence between bilingual children’s two L1s; it also presents new empirical evidence for the postulation that the development of the two L1s in bilingual children is interdependent., UVALAL, 1.

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.

This investigation focuses on the role of Spanish grammatical gender in English-Spanish switched copulative constructions with an adjective as subject complement (e.g., la casa is beautiful / the house es bonita). In particular, the aim of this study is to determine (i) which directionality is preferred and easier to process (i.e., switches in which Spanish provides the subject determiner phrase (DP) and English provides the adjective or structures in which the subject DP is in English while the adjective is in Spanish -e.g., la casa is beautiful vs. the house es bonita-); and (ii) which gender agreement mechanisms are preferred and easier to process in copulative switches in which Spanish provides the adjective. Regarding the latter, two mechanisms are under consideration: the analogical criterion (AC), i.e., whether there is gender agreement between the Spanish adjective and the translation of the equivalent of the English DP subject ([+AC] switches; e.g., the house-SP FEM. es bonita-FEM.) or the lack of the analogical criterion ([-AC] switches; e.g., the house-SP FEM. es bonito-MASC./ the book-SP MASC. es bonita-FEM.); and the masculine as default, i.e., whether masculine adjectives are preferred and easier to process regardless of the gender of the translation equivalent of the English DP (e.g., the book-SP MASC. es bonito-DEFAULT and the house-SP FEM. es bonito-DEFAULT)., UVALAL, (1.)

This investigation focuses on the role of Spanish grammatical gender in English-Spanish switched determiner phrases (DPs). In particular, the aim of this study is to determine (i) which directionality is preferred and easier to process (e.g., English determiner switches vs. Spanish determiner switches - e.g., the casa vs. la house/el book-) and (ii) which gender agreement mechanisms are preferred and easier to process in the case of Spanish determiner switches. Regarding the latter, two mechanisms are under consideration: the analogical criterion (AC), i.e., whether there is gender agreement between the Spanish determiner and the Spanish translation equivalent of the English noun ([+AC] switches) (e.g., la-FEM. house-SP FEM. / el-MASC. book-SP MASC.) or the lack of it ([-AC] switches) (e.g., el-MASC. house-SP FEM. / la-FEM. book-SP MASC. ); and the masculine as default, i.e., whether masculine determiners are preferred and easier to process regardless of the gender of the translation equivalent of the English noun (e.g., el-DEFAULT house-SP FEM. / book-SP MASC.)., UVALAL, (1) GENERAL INFORMATION: (1.1.)

This investigation focuses on codeswitching happening between the subject and the verb. In particular, it aims at determining how English-Spanish subject-verb switches are perceived and processed by taking into account three issues: (i) the directionality of the switch (i.e., Spanish subject – English verb switches vs. English subject – Spanish verb switches – e.g., el niño-SP DP SUBJ. drinks-EN V / él-SP 3rd PERS. SING. PRON. SUBJ. drinks-EN V vs. the boy-EN DP SUBJ. bebe-SP V/ he-EN 3rd PERS. SING. SUBJ. bebe-SP V); (ii) the categorial nature of the subject (i.e., determiner phrase -DP- vs. pronoun- e.g.,el niño-SP DP SUBJ. drinks-EN V vs. él-SP 3rd PERS. SING. PRON. SUBJ. drinks-EN V ); and (iii) the grammatical person in the case of the pronominal subjects (i.e., first and second person vs. third person pronominal subjects - e.g., I-EN 1st PERS. SING. PRON. SUBJ. quiero-SP V / you-EN 2nd PERS. SING. PRON. SUBJ. juegas-SP V vs. he-EN 3rd PERS. SING. SUBJ. bebe-SP V)., UVALAL, 1. GENERAL INFORMATION : 1.1. Title of dataset ; 1.2.
