- W2525847863 abstract "Much recent work in Universal Grammar (UG)-based studies of second language acquisition (L2A) has focused on ascertaining whether or not functional categories and uninterpretable functional features from the UG lexicon are available to post-puberty second language (L2) learners (L2ers). These categories and features, which form the syntactic ‘glue’ for creating well-formed utterances and which trigger morphological agreement, are available to first language (L1) learners in a fashion such that all normally developing children uniformly arrive at a correct analysis of the L1 target grammar. L2 learners, on the other hand, seldom reach native-like performance levels in the target language. In particular it has been shown that L2 learners show difficulties producing inflectional morphology, even at very advanced stages of acquisition and despite considerable L2 input (Franceschina, 2001; Lardiere, 2007; White, 2003a). One recent hypothesis that attempts to explain the source of these difficulties holds that L2ers’ problems with inflectional morphology in the target language stem from an inability to acquire new UG functional features post-puberty. That is, incorrect morphology in the L2 is said to reflect an underlying deficit in a learner’s mental representation of the target language’s syntax (the Representational Deficit Hypothesis, RDH) (Franceschina, 2001, 2005; Hawkins & Chan, 1997; Hawkins & Franceschina, 2004; Hawkins & Hattori, 2006). This paper examines the RDH in light of new data collected from an advanced L1 English speaker of L2 German, “Tom”. Tom, who despite many years of formal instruction in German and long-term immersion in a German speaking environment, shows significant problems with inflectional morphology in the nominal domain. Specifically, grammatical gender and case morphology are selectively impaired, while other areas of morphosyntax show near native-like accuracy. However, I argue that these problems cannot be explained by a syntactic representational deficit. I maintain instead that Tom has acquired a target-like syntax for nominals, as his productions show near perfect accuracy on concord within the DP. Errors reflect problems acquiring and spelling out interpretable features corresponding to case and gender. In presenting these arguments, the paper will be structured as follows: first I will present an overview of approaches to the morphology-syntax interface and morphological deficits in L2A, second I will present relevant linguistic background on the speaker’s L1 and L2, finally I present the current study, including data, results, discussion, and conclusions." @default.
