Journal Article
Verbal Gender Agreement in L2 Standard Arabic
2024
Overview
This study investigated the effect of the first language (L1) gender system on the second language (L2) acquisition of verbal gender agreement in Standard Arabic. It examined L2 learners from different L1 backgrounds, including English, Filipino, Urdu, and Romance, which have varying gender systems. Urdu and Romance have grammatical gender, whereas English and Filipino do not. Urdu shares more similarities with Arabic than Romance, as it requires gender agreement on verbs, whereas Romance does not. This study used an online grammaticality judgment task to assess L2 accuracy of verbal gender agreement across (un) grammatical conditions. The results suggest that proficiency has a greater influence on L2 learners' accuracy than L1 background. The results showed no significant differences in L2 accuracy among the L1 groups. These findings challenge L1 transfer accounts, arguing that L1 transfer is domain-specific in gender agreement.
