本文对后来的盎格鲁-诺曼语 (A-N) 中的接触效应和非效应进行了分析，这是一种儿童 L2 变体，可能从 5 岁左右开始在沉浸式场景中获得。分析了一系列语言变量，其中英语对 A-N 的接触影响可能以从主流古法语向 L1、中古英语中存在的离散形式模式的分歧的形式发生。结果显示，音系中的严重接触效应与句法中极其有限的接触效应之间存在显着差异。盎格鲁-诺曼语失去了古法语中未在中古英语中得到证实的元音对比，并且没有获得进入后来的古法语的新音素模式。然而，在形式语法方面，它在词序和语法范畴的区别方面几乎没有受到英语的影响，并且遵循了法语的句法创新。然而，在句法与语义相结合的地方，特别是在否定和体方面的区别方面，仍然出现了来自英语的一些接触影响。在语法-语义界面上观察到的这种接触效应与“狭义语法”对接触影响的抵抗之间的对比，与犹太语-西班牙语中类似的接触（非）效应相一致。
This paper presents analyses of contact effects and non-effects in later Anglo-Norman (A-N), a child L2 variety probably acquired in an immersion scenario from about age 5. Analyses are presented of a range of linguistic variables in which contact influence on A-N from English could have taken place in the form of divergence from mainstream Old French towards discrete formal patterns existing in the L1, Middle English. Results show a remarkable split between heavy contact effects in phonology, and extremely limited contact effects in syntax. Anglo-Norman lost vowel contrasts from Old French not attested in Middle English and did not gain new phonemic patterns entering later Old French. In formal syntax, however, it showed virtually no influence from English, as regards word order and grammatical category distinctions, and followed French syntactic innovations. Some contact influence from English nevertheless appeared where syntax interfaced with semantics, specifically in negation and aspectual distinctions. The contrast observed between such contact effects at the syntax-semantics interface, and the resistance to contact influence of ‘narrow syntax’, comports with similar contact (non-)effects on Judeo-Spanish.
