The empirical study focuses on a group of very advanced L2 speakers, and through a series of tests aims to discover what underpins their near mastery of grammatical gender and other grammatical properties.The book explores an account of persistent selective divergence based on the idea that child and adult learners are fundamentally similar, except that in adults the L1 plays the role of a fairly rigid filter of the linguistic input. The impossibility of representing the new target language other than by using the building blocks of the previously established L1 is argued to be the main reason why near but not totally native like language representations are formed and become established in adult L2 learners. 410 0$aLanguage acquisition & language disorders ;$vv. 38. 606 $aSecond language acquisition 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGender 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGender. 676 $a418 700 $aFranceschina$b Florencia$01802036 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968840003321 996 $aFossilized second language grammars$94347560 997 $aUNINA
