The Opc: An Experimental Approach, Ewelina Barski Dec 2010

The Opc: An Experimental Approach, Ewelina Barski

Ewelina Barski, PhD

A variety of studies have documented the acquisition of the Overt Pronoun Constraint (OPC) (Montalbetti 1984) in second language speakers (Kanno 1997, Pérez-Leroux & Glass 1999, Rothman & Iverson 2007). This study is an experimental approach to the Overt Pronoun Constraint in native Spanish speakers. Much has been said about this constraint but very few data have been collected to corroborate the asymmetry between referential NPs and quantified antecedents. According to the Overt Pronoun Constraint (OPC) (Montalbetti, 1984) unlike the null pronoun, the overt pronoun can never refer back to a quantified expression (1) or a WH-word (2): The overt …

Subjects: Grammatical Relations, Grammatical Functions And Functional Categories, Ileana Paul Dec 2009

Subjects: Grammatical Relations, Grammatical Functions And Functional Categories, Ileana Paul

Ileana Paul

This paper presents an overview of how the notion of “subject” has been defined in linguistic theory. Although the term developed out of Artistotelian logic, the use has been narrowed to refer to the grammatical relation (or function). Over the past fifty years, the definition of subject and its universality has been the source of much debate. Broadly Chomskian approaches claim that grammatical relations such as subject are not primitives of the grammar and can be derived from phrase structure. As such, testing for the subject involves constituency tests. Other approaches (Relational Grammar, Lexical-Function Grammar) posit grammatical relations as primitives …

Existentials And Partitives In Malagasy, Ileana Paul Dec 1997

Existentials And Partitives In Malagasy, Ileana Paul

Ileana Paul

Cet article décrit la construction existentielle en malgache et rend compte de la distribution et de l'interprétation des syntagmes nominaux. Il est montré que les syntagmes nominaux spécifiques se déplacent à l'extérieur de la petite proposition complément du verbe existentiel misy alors que les syntagmes nominaux non-spécifiques demeurent dans leur position de base. Cette corrélation entre la position des syntagmes nominaux et leur interprétation appuie l'hypothèse d'appariement (Mapping Hypothesis) de Diesing (1992). Cependant, cette analyse structurale ne rend pas compte de l'interprétation précise attribuée aux syntagmes nominaux spécifiques, qu'il s'agisse de l'interprétation partitive, possessive ou locative. Afin d'unifier ces trois …
