Optionality in Optimality-Theoretic Syntax
Pre-theoretically, we can conceive of syntactic optionality as a name for a situation in which different ways of saying what seems to be the same thing show a clear correspondence in form. Such a situation may or may not be problematic for a given syntactic theory. Classic transformational grammar of the sixties acknowledges syntactic optionality by introducing a distinction between obligatory ...
متن کاملL2 knowledge at the Mapping of Syntax and Discourse
In this article, I will present partial results of three experiments that deal with the second language (L2) acquisition of the same phenomenon: Clitic Left Dislocation (CLLD) in Spanish and Bulgarian by native English speakers. This is the phenomenon where an object that is previously mentioned in the discourse (a Topic) moves to the beginning of the sentence, and is doubled by a clitic agreei...
متن کاملCross-Linguistic Differences at the Syntax-Discourse Interface in Off- and On-line L2 Performance
Studies of ultimate attainment in adult second-language (L2) acquisition report a disjunction between success in acquiring the syntax of the target language (TL), on the one hand, and persistent difficulties at the interfaces of syntax with other grammatical modules, e.g. discourse-pragmatics, on the other. However, there continues to be debate as to whether these difficulties arise from devian...
متن کاملLocal Optionality
A phonological or morphophonological process is optional if it need not apply to every instance of its structural description. For example, French has an optional process that deletes schwa in the context V(#)C___ (Dell 1970). Application of this process to an input such as /a !vi#d!#t!#bat"/ (tu as) envie de te battre ‘(you) feel like fighting’ results in three outputs: a !vidt!bat" (deletion ...
متن کاملSyntax and its Interfaces in L2 Grammars - Situating L1 effects
Studies on the first language (L1) acquisition of word order optionality (e.g. Krämer 2000) report a developmental disjunction between syntactic and interpretive knowledge. We find suggestive evidence for a similar disjunction in the second language (L2) acquisition of German optional word order, so-called scrambling. This study examines scrambling in advanced and near-native English-German and...
