Cilj ovog rada jeste da doprinese novim saznanjima o usvajanja drugog jezika tako što će ispitati uticaj starosti na početne faze razvoja drugog jezika (L2) u pogledu transfera morfosintaksičkih odlika iz maternjeg jezika. U radu se koristi generativni okvir usvajanja jezika, u kome je direktno poređenje usvajanja L2 kod dece i odraslih nedovoljno istražena oblast. U radu se ispituje parametar univerzalne gramatike [± jak] fleksija, a naročito podizanje glagola (eng. V-raising), budući da ima različite vrednosti u engleskom [- jak] i makedonskom [+ jak]. Ispitanici su jedna grupa dece (od 8 do 11 godina starosti) i jedna grupa odraslih (od 20 do 60 godina). Svi ispitanici su izvorni govornici makedonskog na početnom stepenu razvoja engleskog kao drugog jezika, a testirani su nakon četiri nedelje izloženosti posebno osmišljenim smernicama vezanim za podizanje glagola u engleskom. Budući da dolazi do transfera čitave gramatike prvog jezika (L1), rezultati idu u prilog tzv. hipotezi očuvanja (eng. Conservation Hypothesis) kod transfera iz L1 u početnim fazama usvajanja drugog jezika (Van de Craats i dr. 1999).
