“…Whereas Basque L1 children produced the ergative case in morphosyntactic contexts where it is required, the Basque L2 children systematically omitted its production. In another study, Ezeizabarrena (2012) found that these differences between Basque L1 and Basque L2 still persisted at age 8.…”

The aim of this paper is to analyse some aspects of development of Basque as a second language (L2) in children for whom Spanish is their first language (L1) who attended immersion school in Basque in a Spanish-speaking sociolinguistic context. Data consist of oral story retellings produced in a classroom setting where the same children participated at ages 5, 8 and 11. Another group of children for whom Basque was the L1 and who lived in a strong Basque-speaking environment also took part in the study. Two aspects are analysed in the stories: lexical difficulties and the production of text organisers. According to the results, the Basque L2 children seemed to have acquired a linguistic competence quite comparable to L1 capacity: the lexical aspects studied show a clear development in L2, since lexical gaps were frequent at age 5, diminished at age 8 and were practically non-existent at age 11. The production of text organisers also shows a clear developmental pattern and, with increasing age, the children produced a higher variety of text organisers, providing precise temporal links to different segments of the story. It is concluded that Basque immersion seems to foster the development of Basque L2 in contexts where the use of Basque is quite reduced.

“…The opposite pattern is attested in Basque by Carreiras, Duñabeitia, Vergara, de la Cruz-Pavía and Laka (2010) and Laka, Erdocia, Duñabeitia, Molinaro and Carreiras (2011) who found that SRs take longer to read and show a larger electrophysiological response related to syntactic complexity (P600 amplitude) than ORs in native and non-native unimpaired adults, respectively. In the same vein, Gutierrez-Mangado (2011) and Gutierrez-Mangado and Ezeizabarrena (2012) found higher error rates in the comprehension of SRs than in ORs in typically developing L1 Basque children.…”

“…Factors such as language status (first or not), premorbid language proficiency, language use, type of treatment, and language distance may modulate cross-language influence in bilingual aphasia (Faroqi-Shah et al, 2010;Goral et al, 2006;2012) and consequently may affect recovery patterns and postmorbid performance (Ansaldo et al, 2008;Paradis, 2004). Although the most common pattern reported in bilingual aphasia is that of PARALLEL IMPAIRMENT and PARALLEL RECOVERY, brain lesions do not always affect both languages to the same extent and languages do not always improve similarly during the recovery process (Paradis, 2004).…”

Differential and selective morpho-syntactic impairment in Spanish-Basque bilingual aphasia

This paper reports on the comprehension of movement-derived structures by a Spanish-Basque bilingual with chronic Broca's aphasia. The study reveals a differential impairment which affects mostly Basque and a selective impairment in this language that affects only object questions and subject relatives. The impairment pattern observed is discussed in light of the predictions made by different representational and processing accounts for (monolingual as well as bilingual) Spanish and Basque agrammatism.The asymmetry observed between the two languages suggests that the patient resorts to language-specific morpho-syntactic cues, which cannot be transferred from one language to the other because of the typological distance between Spanish and Basque. The data confirm results from previous studies showing that (major) typological distance hinders cross-language effects from arising in bilingual aphasia.

“…The study about ergativity has been done by some researchers (Aldridge, 2012;Coon, 2012;Doron & Khan, 2012;Ezeizabarrena, 2012;Legate, 2014;Markman & Grashchenkov, 2012;McGregor, 2010;Polinsky, Gallo, Graff, & Kravtchenko, 2012;Rumsey, 2010) by using the different perspective (R. M. W. Dixon, 2010bDixon, , 2010aRobert Malcolm Ward Dixon, 2012) from ergativity in systemic functional grammar which will be the main focus in this research. In addition, the researcher has not find yet about the previous research about ergativity based on Martin concept.…”

This research examines how ergative clauses develop phases and stages in narrative genre in detective novel. As we all know that ergative clauses expose or sometimes hide the additional agent what Martin et al called as extra causer. In their nature, the extra causers derive roles in the clause such as initiator, attributor, assigner, and inducer. These roles depend on the types of processes in their experiential meaning in the clauses. On the other hand, detective novel contains mystery where the characters attempt to uncover it by investigating, interrogating and speculating. In this kind of job, the characters will probably exploit ergativity. This study belongs to a qualitative research with embedded case study investigating a detective novel entitled Angels and Demons. It applies total sampling to figure out the role ergative clauses in developing phases and stages in the novel. The data are analyzed in domain, taxonomy, componential analyses and finding cultural values. The finding indicates that certain types of ergative clauses help construct the types of phases depending on the types of stages of the genre. Thus, it can be concluded that ergative clauses play roles in building up the mystery in the novel.
