AB This dissertation deals with the impact of biological gender on the acquisition of wh-movement in English questions in a simultaneous bilingual context. It provides an empirical analysis of 2L1 English-French child data from CHILDES in an attempt to study the acquisition of this syntactic phenomenon and to compare the English 2L1 production to those of English L1 and L2 speakers. The data are analyzed in terms of the preference and complexity of wh-type and function of the wh-element as well as the complexity regarding pied-piping, and the adulthood of the productions. The analysis of the data suggests that biological gender does not have an impact on the acquisition of wh-movement in English questions.
