Morphological and Syntactic Transfer in Child L2 Acquisition of the English Dative Alternation.
Whong-Barr, Melinda; Schwartz, Bonnie D.
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v24 n4 p579-616 Dec 2002
Compares the acquisition of the English to- and for-dative alternation by native-speaking English, Japanese, and Korean children. Investigates whether second language learners (L2) like native language learners overextend the double-object variant and whether L2 learners, like L2 adults, transfer properties of the native language grammar.
