Liceras, Todd Spradlin, and Raquel Fernández Can an On-line Response Latency Task Shed Light on Native and Non-native Competence in the Deverbal Compounds of Spanish? 64-70 (complete pdf) The main purpose of the present research is to investigate (1) whether L1 and L2 Spanish speakers (with English and French as L1) have problems recognizing the morphosyntactic properties of deverbal compounds in Spanish; and (2) how L1 and L2 speakers process Spanish deverbal compounds with and without morphosyntactic violations. To achieve this goal, we designed an on-line experiment based on a response latency grammaticality judgment task in which attention was paid both to response accuracy and latency. The combination of these dependent variables will allow us to determine whether, and to what extent, any problems native and non-native Spanish speakers might have are due to a grammar-specific deficit or a processing deficit. |
