Clahsen和Felser(CF)分析了单语儿童和成人第二语言学习者在离线和在线任务中的表现，并将他们的表现与成人单语学习者的表现进行了比较。他们得出结论，儿童第一语言(L1)的处理与成人第一语言(L1)的处理基本相同(邻接性假设)，但表现上的差异是由于认知发展的限制。然而，他们认为，二语成绩的差异更多地是定性的，并不是由工作记忆资源的短缺、加工速度的差异、母语加工例程的转移或目标语法的不完全习得来解释的。他们提出了一个浅层结构假说(SSH)来解释句子加工中的差异。因此，二语学习者在理解过程中计算的句法表征比本族语者计算的句法表征更浅、更不详细，涉及更直接的形式-功能映射。
Clahsen and Felser (CF) analyze the performance of monolingual children and adult second language (L2) learners in off-line and on-line tasks and compare their performance with that of adult monolinguals. They conclude that child first language (L1) processing is basically the same as adult L1 processing (the contiguity assumption), with differences in performance being due to cognitive developmental limitations. They argue that differences in L2 performance, however, are more qualitative and not explained by shortage of working memory (WM) resources, differences in processing speed, transfer of L1 processing routines, or incomplete acquisition of the target grammar. They propose a shallow structure hypothesis (SSH) to explain the differences reported in sentence processing. According to this, the syntactic representations computed by L2 learners during comprehension are shallower and less detailed than those computed by native speakers and involve more direct form-function mappings.
