Resumo: This study aims to add to the body of evidence regarding the linguistic structures that seem to be more challenging in L2 acquisition than in L1 acquisition (DeKeyser, 2005; Ellis, 2008; Inagaki, 2001; Slabakova, 2014; Sorace, 2011). The Negative Evidence Hypothesis (NEH) (AUTHOR) predicts that bilinguals are less sensitive than native speakers to violations resulted from the overgeneralization of an L2-specific rule. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing the behavior of Brazilian Portuguese-English bilinguals with different profiles towards double-object construction with unlicensed verbs in two acceptability judgment tasks. The results corroborate the NEH by conveying that bilinguals gain sensitivity as they become more proficient, yet, the data suggests that not even when immersed in the L2, they become as sensitive as native speakers.

A hipótese de evidência negativa (NEH) (Oliveira, 2016) prevê que os bilíngues são menos sensíveis que os falantes nativos às violações resultantes da generalização excessiva de uma regra específica de L2. Testamos essa hipótese analisando o comportamento de bilíngues português-inglês do Brasil com perfis diferentes em relação à construção de objetos duplos em inglês com verbos não licenciados em duas tarefas de julgamento de aceitabilidade. Os resultados corroboram o NEH ao transmitir que os bilíngues ganham sensibilidade à medida que se tornam mais proficientes; no entanto, os dados sugerem que nem mesmo quando imersos no L2, eles se tornam tão sensíveis quanto os falantes nativos. UFSC2019-10-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n3p33110.5007/2175-8026.2019v72n3p331Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 72 No. 3 (2019): Psycholinguistics: implications for the classroom; 331-358Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 72 n. 3 (2019): Psycholinguistics: implications for the classroom; 331-3582175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2019v72n3p331/40992Copyright (c) 2019 Cândido Oliveira, Alberto Penzininfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, CândidoPenzin, Alberto2019-12-10T11:56:59Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/61575Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-12-10T11:56:59Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
