Abstract

In recent research on bilingualism, explanations and predictions of developmental delays or inability to reach native-like attainment in specific areas of grammatical knowledge have been linked to the architecture of the language faculty. The specific emphasis has been on interfaces between the linguistic system and grammar external components, such as syntax/discourse, or between different modules of grammar, such as syntax/semantics, syntax/morphology or morphology/phonology. In this context, Sorace’s Interfaces Hypothesis has generated a significant deal of research in several bilingual populations and in different languages. This paper provides an overview of the current research and debates on interfaces and points to future directions to address pending critical questions, as well as empirical and methodological challenges.
