Zum Altersfaktor im Deutschen als Zweitsprache existieren bislang nur wenige Untersuchungen. Das Buch gibt einen systematischen Forschungsüberblick über die vorhandenen Studien zur Verbstellung im Deutschen als Zweitsprache und vergleicht die Ergebnisse im Hinblick auf das Erwerbsalter der ProbandInnen. Auf der Basis dieser Forschungsergebnisse entwickelt die Autorin ihre eigene longitudinale Fallstudie, in der sie die Verbstellung bei zwei Halbschwestern mit Erstsprache Russisch in den ersten 18 Kontaktmonaten vergleicht. Die beiden Lernerinnen unterscheiden sich in erster Linie durch ihr Alter bei Erwerbsbeginn (acht vs. 14 Jahre), was einen direkten Vergleich des Erwerbsverlaufs und der Erwerbsgeschwindigkeit erlaubt. Die ungewöhnlich breite Datenbasis von über 10.000 vollständigen Sätzen erlaubt stichhaltige Aussagen zum Erwerb der Satzklammer, der Verb-Zweit-Stellung sowie der Verb-End-Stellung im Nebensatz. Der Grammatikerwerb vor und nach der Pubertät unterscheidet sich hauptsächlich in der Erwerbsgeschwindigkeit, wobei diese auch stark vom Lerngegenstand abhängt. DIE REIHE: DAZ-FORSCHUNG. DEUTSCH ALS ZWEITSPRACHE, MEHRSPRACHIGKEIT UND MIGRATION Die Reihe DaZ-Forschung stellt aktuelle Forschungen zum Deutsch-als-Zweitsprache-Erwerb sowie zu Bildungschancen im Kontext von Migration und Mehrsprachigkeit in Form von Monographien oder Sammelbänden vor.

During the past two decades, there has been a dramatic increase in interest in the study of aging-related changes in cognitive abilities. In this volume researchers from a variety of theoretical perspectives discuss adult age differences in a wide range of cognitive skills. Of special interest is the extent to which aging effects on performance are related to variations in the representation, organization, and utilization of knowledge, broadly defined. Recent research and theory in the field of aging has emphasized the need to examine such processes more closely in order to provide a more comp

This book examines the evidence relative to the idea that there is an age factor in first and second language acquisition, evidence that has sources ranging from studies of feral children to evaluations of language programmes in primary schools. It goes on to explore the various explanations that have been advanced to account for such evidence. Finally, it looks at the educational ramifications of the age question, with particular regard to formal second language teaching in the early school years and in ‘third age’ contexts.

This book constitutes a holistic study of how and why late starters surpass early starters in comparable instructional settings. Combining advanced quantitative methods with individual-level qualitative data, it examines the role of age of onset in the context of the Swiss multilingual educational system and focuses on performance at the beginning and end of secondary school, thereby offering a long-term view of the teenage experience of foreign language learning. The study scrutinised factors that seem to prevent young starters from profiting from their extended learning period and investigated the mechanisms that enable late beginners to catch up with early beginners relatively quickly. Taking account of contextual factors, individual socio-affective factors and instructional factors within a single longitudinal study, the book makes a convincing case that age of onset is not only of minimal relevance for many aspects of instructed language acquisition, but that in this context, for a number of reasons, a later onset can be beneficial.

This work critically addresses the age debate in second language acquisition studies, presenting an in-depth study of factors that predict foreign accent. Quantitative and qualitative analyses confirm that cognitive, social, and psychological factors contribute to attainment, and that biological influences must therefore be considered alongside these essential aspects of learner experience.
