Definiteness constraint on subjects in L2 and L3 Mandarin grammars
Recent research on third language acquisition has been focusing on identifying the source of transfer in third language
(L3) acquisition. In this article, we report on an empirical study of a less-studied language combination of Mandarin, Cantonese and
English, which examines how speakers of Mandarin as a first, second and third language process Mandarin indefinite and definite subjects.
Our data reveals that both typologically and structurally similar and less similar languages are available for transfer in third language
acquisition, thus such transfer can be facilitative as well as detrimental. We also find that the frequency and length of exposure to the
second language (L2) and the vulnerability of the property under investigation may cause first language attrition, which could influence
third language acquisition.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
