Soft cover. Condition: New. vi, 165, [1] pages ; 21 cm. The present study investigates the acquisition of so-called functional categories in English children between the ages of two and three. The study is carried out within the generative framework and takes as its starting-point Radford's (1988; 1990) hypothesis that initial child grammars are afunctional. The present work argues in favour of the Weak Continuity Hypothesis. According to this approach to language development, the X-bar system is part of Universal Grammar, while the acquisition of functional categories has to be triggered. The issue of triggers is extensively discussed in the study, and it is argued that, due to the lack of inflectional morphology in English, the development of functional categories is initially triggered by free rather than bound morphemes in this language. Furthermore, it is proposed that the acquisition of functional categories does not only involve a triggering mechanism of the kind discussed in the present study, but also a setting of parameters in the form of determining the strength of the N- and V-features associated with these categories (in the sense of Chomsky, 1992).Tromsø Studies in Linguistics 17. …

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 276 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The topic of variation in language has received considerable attention in the field of general linguistics in recent years. This includes research on linguistic micro-variation that is dependent on fine distinctions in syntax and information structure. However, relatively little work has been done on how this variation is acquired. This book focuses on how different types of variation are expressed in the input and how this is acquired by young children. The collection of papers includes studies of the acquisition of variation in a number of different languages, including English, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Swiss German, Ukrainian, and American Sign Language. Different kinds of linguistic variation are considered, ranging from pure word order variation to optionally doubly filled COMPs and the resolution of scopal ambiguities. In addition, papers in the volume deal with the extreme case of variation found in bilingual acquisition.…
