Title: Differences and similarities between late first-language and second-language learning
Author: Diane Lillo-Martin
Linguistic Field: Cognitive Science; Language Acquisition; Linguistic Theories
Abstract: The keynote article by Mayberry and Kluender (2017) clearly shows that there are important effects of delayed exposure to a first language (L1), in linguistic comprehension, production, processing, and even in the brain areas that are active for language. This set of findings is of great importance for both theoretical and practical reasons. As Mayberry and Kluender show, one implication of such findings bears on the theory that a critical period for language (CPL) leads to changes in the ways that language develops when accessible exposure is delayed.
