摘要:Bilingual first language acquisition (BFLA) is a sub-field of bilingualism. Two conditions considered for a speaker in terms of are: (1) contact with the two languages has to start no later than a week after birth, and (2) contact with the two languages has to be regular until the time of the study (Meisel, 1989; De Houwer, 1990). The present study aims to investigate the acquisition of word order (verb placement) in an adult Serbo-Croatian-Turkish bilingual. Data came from spontaneous speech. The results revealed a great deal of evidence for syntactic transfer due to different word order patterns between the two languages. Further details are discussed in the research.
