Its results lend support to the view that the syntax-discourse/pragmatics interface is a locus of residual, but permanent, optionality, because L2 speakers are less than optimally efficient at integrating syntactic and contextual information in real-time language use as a by-product of bilingualism.2432358engSecond Language Acquisitionnear-nativenessSyntax-discourse interfaceLocative inversionaquisição de segunda línguanível quase-nativointerface sintaxe-discursoinversão locativaconference object
