This study develops a single elicitation method to test the acquisition of third-person pronominal objects in 5-year-olds for 16 languages. methodology allows us compare pronominals languages that lack object clitics ("pronoun languages") with employ relevant context ("clitic languages"), thus establishing robust cross-linguistic baseline domain clitic and pronoun production 5-year-olds. High rates are found our results, indicating children have pragmatic knowledge required select discourse...
This study tackles binding issues of Chinese reflexive ziji, an instantiation so-called long-distance anaphors.We evaluated a "mixed" approach (Charnavel, 2019; Huang & Liu, 2001; et al., 2009) to anaphora, by analysing the role locality and logophoricity on behaviour ziji in long-bei passive, understudied construction domain anaphora.Our analysis shows that approach, which claims anaphor is either plain or logophor subject logophoricity, not sufficient for capturing ziji's...
Background Agrammatic aphasia has been widely associated with impairments functional words and complex sentences. Speech errors of people (PWA) have reported to be selective, patterns omissions in words, most notably the domain tense inflection on verbs compared agreement morphologically rich languages.
This paper reports evidence for a convergence between child language acquisition and Broca’s aphasia in the domain of copula omission. Our data shows that, spontaneous speech people with (PWBA), omission is confined to aspectual predicates, replicating finding previously reported by Becker (2002) English. grammatical property much stronger predictor than alternative, extra-grammatical factors, such as predicate length or utterance length. We argue that accounts which predict fragility Tense...
