C03 - Referenzstrategien in bilingualen Geschichten
Dieses Projekt will Aufschluss geben über Variationsmuster in der Verarbeitung von Prominenz-Strukturen. Mithilfe von Eye-Tracking-Experimenten untersuchen wir, wie deutsch-italienisch und deutsch-englisch bilinguale Kinder im Alter von 8 bis 12 Jahren morphosyntaktische und pragmatische Informationen während des narrativen Lesens integrieren. Wir erwarten, dass sich die bilingualen Kinder dahingehend voneinander unterschieden, wie sensitiv sie auf morphosyntaktische und pragmatische Informationen in der Verarbeitung von Diskurs reagieren. Als mögliche Faktoren für diese Variation untersuchen wir die Rolle sprachübergreifender Einflüsse, Unterschiede in Bilingualitätsprofilen und die individuellen kognitiven Fähigkeiten der Kinder.
