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 paper characterizes Contrastive Focus Fronting (CFF) in European Portuguese, distinguishing it from Topicalization and Evaluative exclamatives on the basis of syntactic interpretational tests illustrated with empirical evidence intuition/introspective judgments different types written sources. It reveals that lack consensus among speakers regarding CFF is a consequence fact Contemporary Portuguese includes two grammars CFF. One grammar less restrictive array constituents can be fronted....
In this paper, we argue that clitic omission in European Portuguese speaking children cannot be due to a late acquisition of pragmatics. Based on experimental data from an elicited production task and truth-value judgement task, show acquiring as first language know the appropriate pragmatic conditions for producing clitics null objects interpret context. However, their knowledge some syntactic constraints objects, which are grammatical only certain contexts adult grammar, is not fully...
In Hebrew, European Portuguese, Palestinian Arabic, and Spanish, both SV VS orders are possible. However, when children acquire these languages, they do not use the whole array of word in their language at first stage sentence construction. Interestingly, order preference early acquisition differs different languages: Hebrew Portuguese with unaccusative verbs, but only unergative transitive verbs. Spanish prefer to unaccusative, unergative, verbs stage. We present 11 experiments 5...

Abstract. Empirical evidence is presented in favour of the claim first made Pesetsky (1989) that English lexical verbs move overtly, as can be argued given order V‐Adverb‐PP . Extraction tests are used to show PP sequence at stake not extraposed across adverb, claimed Pollock (1994). It shown that, get a clear picture with respect placement verb, one has use adverbs which only left‐adjoined VP (e.g. well ).
The status of the expression a gente (lit. people) in European Portuguese is topic this paper. We revisit its classical analysis, treating it as pronoun, and explanation for patterns agreement may trigger on inflected verb. In particular, paper addresses Taylor's (2009) argument against pronominal gente, argues that can be analyzed regular DP. compare with other pronouns, showing there are more robust regularities than those described arguments, but adopt part his analysis to accommodate...
