      Wolleb, Anna; Sorace, Antonella; Westergaard, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-10)
      In this paper, we explore the role of cognition in bilingual syntactic processing by employing a structural priming paradigm. A group of Norwegian-English bilingual children and an age-matched group of Norwegian monolingual children were tested in a priming task that included both a within-language and a between-language priming condition. Results show that the priming effect between-language was ...
    • Syntactic representations in the bilingual mind: the role of executive function and pragmatics in cross-language priming

      In this thesis I investigate how syntactic forms are represented and accessed in the mind of bilingual children. In particular, I explore the role of executive control and pragmatics in the selection and use of these representations. To do so, I tested a group of Norwegian-English bilingual children and a group of Norwegian age-matched monolinguals in a priming paradigm and in a cognitive task (the ...
