- Abstract
- It has been argued that the study of child L2 development can inform different maturational accounts of language acquisition. One such specific proposal was put forward by Meisel (2008) arguing for a cut-off point for (2)L1 type of development at 3-4 years. The paper analyses the longitudinal development of object clitics in child L2 French (L1 Swedish) and compares the developmental sequence in child L2 learners (n=7) with different Ages of Onset of Acquisition (from 3;0 to 6;5) to the adult L2 sequence that was found in previous studies (Granfeldt & Schlyter, 2004). The study also includes age-matched simultaneous bilingual children (n=3) and monolingual controls (n= 5). The results show that some of the child L2 learners with an AoA... (More)
