Cross-lectal influence and gender marking in bilectal Venetan-Italian acquisition

Kupisch, Tanja LU and Klaschik, Ewgenia (2017) In Studies in Bilingualism 52. p.127-152
Abstract
We study dialectal influence and gender marking in 25 bilectal children and 11 adults speaking Italian and Venetan, based on an elicited production task (EPT) in each of the two varieties. The children are between 5 and 11 years old and vary with respect to their reported use of the dialect at home. The results of the EPT show that the children produce only Italian DPs in the Italian experiment, while producing Italian, Venetan and mixed DPs in the Venetan experiment. However, regardless of the amount of dialect use, children follow the gender assignment rules of Italian and Venetan in both monolingual and mixed DPs
