In both studies all the variables were the same. Proficiency levels were determined via a cloze test and a grammaticality judgment test with various subclasses of intransitives was administered. Results of the study have revealed that proficiency levels of the participants have increased in seven years, but paired ergative verbs have remained the most problematic subclass of intransitives in both studies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessErgative verbIntrasnitive verbsLanguage acquisitionEducation & educational researchProceedings Paper0002755804004902-s2.0-676492676982832283711Education & educational researchCross-Linguistic Influence; Heritage Speakers; Syntax
