Lexical interference in non-native resolution of possessives?

Research on non-native pronoun resolution has predominantly been concerned with (i) ‘ordinary’ 3rd person pronouns/anaphors like En. "he", "she", "they" or "himself", "herself", "themselves", (ii) language pairs involving English as the native (L1) foreign (L2) language, and (iii) role that binding constraints syntactic structure in general play L2 versus L1 processing. The present paper – a follow-up study to Pitz et al. (2017) deviates from this trend all three respects: We investigate how L1-Norwegian learners 
 of L2-German interpret two German possessive pronouns/determiners "sein" (≈ his) "ihr" her their), arguing lexical divergence between systems, particular formal similarity binding-neutral reflexive "sin", may enhance interfere comprehension, depending structural conditions. In Section 2 we briefly systems. 3 summarizes relevant research resolution, special view possessives. Sections 4–6 pilot learners’ grammaticality judgments simple sentences (Sect. 5) forced-choice experiment group background years’ teaching at high-school level control speakers 6). final 7 provides summary concluding discussion our findings.
