Indirect structural crosslinguistic influence in early Catalan–Spanish bilinguals in adulthood: predicate selection in Catalan existential constructions

This study reports an oral production experiment investigating the expression of existentiality in the Catalan of adult Catalan–Spanish early bilinguals (N = 58) with comparable proficiencies but different language dominance. The results show qualitative differences among the bilinguals in existenti...
