This study investigated the extent to which second language (L2) learners experience difficulties when integrating multiple sources of information at internal and external interfaces, and how their first language (L1) influences this integration process. Two groups of L2 Korean learners, including Chinese and Japanese speakers, as well as native Korean speakers, completed a sentence-completion task and an acceptability judgment task. In the sentence-completion task, both native speakers and Japanese-speaking learners showed sensitivity to the function of case marking in distinct syntactic structures (morphology – syntax interface or internal interface), but not Chinese-speaking learners. In the acceptability judgment task, only the native speakers exhibited sensitivity to the discourse functions of case marking based on information structure (morphology – discourse interface or external interface), whereas the L2 learners did not appear to be influenced by the case-marking condition. These findings suggest that L2 integration of multiple information sources may be influenced by specific types of interfaces and L1 background.

Since the launch of the term translanguaging in 1994, the multiple discursive practices that are grouped under this label have been explored in over 3000 papers, covering a variety of contexts, both within and outside education. While the term has clearly resonated with researchers and practitioners, here it is argued that it is unclear what it means exactly, because there are no diagnostic criteria specifying what it is. Extensive criticism has also been put forward in the academic literature, showing that central claims are untenable in the face of overwhelming counter-evidence from a range of fields, including studies on code-switching, bilingual education, bilingual first language acquisition, language contact and language processing. However, translanguaging can become a useful instrument for researchers and practitioners if the concept is narrowed down to what it was coined for, namely pedagogical practices that are beneficial for multilingual learners. In order for this to happen, clear diagnostic criteria need to be provided for the identification of translanguaging, and research evidence from neuroscientific, structural, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic studies on multilingualism needs to be integrated into its conceptualization.

We explore potential effects of prosody on pronoun interpretation in Italian, building on previous research which has shown that second language learners/users (L2ers) assign non-target interpretations to overt pronouns. We investigate effects of contrastive stress and pause, proposing that these will result in changes to default antecedent preferences for overt and null pronouns, for L2ers and for native speakers. An experiment was conducted, involving English-speaking L2ers of Italian and Italian native speakers. Participants were presented with auditory stimuli like Lorenzo ha scritto a Roberto quando Ø/lui si è trasferito a Torino ‘Lorenzo wrote to Roberto when (he) moved to Turin’ and indicated their preferred antecedent for the pronoun. Overt versus null pronouns, presence versus absence of stress on overt pronouns, and presence versus absence of pause between clauses were manipulated. The results yielded significant differences for antecedent choices between null and overt pronouns, consistent with earlier literature. In addition, stress was significant for both groups. Implications of a prosodic approach to ambiguity resolution are discussed.
以前的研究表明，第二语言学习者/使用者（L2ers）会对明显代词进行非目标解释，在此基础上，我们探讨了意大利语中的前置词对代词解释的潜在影响。我们研究了对比重音和停顿的影响，认为这将改变第二语言学习者和母语使用者对明显代词和空代词的默认前置词偏好。我们进行了一项实验，参与者包括英语为第二语言的意大利人和以意大利语为母语的人。实验向参与者展示了一些听觉刺激，如 "Lorenzo ha scritto a Roberto quando Ø/lui si è trasferito a Torino"（"洛伦佐在（他）搬到都灵时写信给罗伯托"），并让他们指出自己对代词前置词的偏好。我们还对显性代词与空代词、显性代词有重音与无重音、分句之间有停顿与无停顿进行了处理。结果表明，空代词和显性代词的前置词选择有显著差异，这与之前的文献一致。此外，重音在两组中都有显著差异。本文讨论了用拟声方法解决歧义的意义。
