Overview

Preliminary study examines the relationship between language input and past tense in dual language learners, suggesting potential links among variables.

Key Points

  • This study investigates how various factors, including language input and phonological properties, affect English past tense production in dual language learners.
  • Analyzed data from 10 Spanish-L1-English-L2 dual language learners.
  • Utilized the Test of Early Grammatical Impairment and subtests from the Bilingual English-Spanish Assessment.
  • Employed Friedman test and Kendall’s tau-b correlations for analysis.
  • DLLs produced past tense allomorphs with comparable accuracy rates.
  • Significant positive correlation between the use of allomorph /d/ and DLLs' semantic knowledge in English.
  • No observed relationships between past tense accuracy and language input or lexical knowledge.
