The aim of the present study is to examine similarities and differences in the use of
particle verbs (PVs) between advanced bilingual L2 users of Norwegian (L1
Finnish) in their teens and Norwegian L1 speakers of the same age. The data
consists of three writing tasks (email messages) written by 6 bilingual Finnish -
Norwegian participants and 6 native speakers of Norwegian. Previous research has
shown that second language (L2) users, who are highly advanced, face problems
using multi-word expressions. For example, they tend to use less PVs than native
speakers. The advanced bilingual L2 users of Norwegian (L1 Finnish) in the
present study also show a slight tendency to use fewer PVs than the native
speakers. However, the Finnish-Norwegian participants used some more idiomatic
PVs than the native speakers of Norwegian. The results show that advanced
bilingual users of Norwegian who live in an L2 environment and receive a great
amount of natural input and output from an early age utilized PVs in a manner
congruent to native speakers. Despite differences between the Finnish and
Norwegian languages, there are also similarities with regard to PVs. The bilingual
participants are familiar with PVs in their first language, Finnish, and they may
benefit from that, even though these verbs are not as frequent in Finnish as in
Norwegian.
