1. (Christiane M. Bongartz, Sum: SLA and Morphology/Syntax

A while back I posted a query about work in second language acquisition and
the morphology/syntax interface. I am grateful to Alan Juffs
(http://www.linguistics.pitt.edu/) who provided me with the - very helpful -
references listed below. Thanks to both Alan and Donna Lardiere for sharing
work in progress.
