On some current theoretical accounts, persistent difficulty with grammatical gender in adult L2 acquisition is due to age. These accounts predict that heritage speakers should be more accurate on gender agreement than L2 learners, because their Spanish language acquisition started in infancy. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/121385747/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 " target="blank">www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/121385747/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
