On Focus, Prosody, and Word Order in Argentinean Spanish: a Minimalist Ot Account
During the last decade, several proposals have been made for modeling focus-induced word order variation in Spanish, both in derivational and in optimality-theoretical frameworks. Furthermore, empirical studies have been carried out in order to capture the prosodic correlates of focus marking, most of them couched in the Autosegmental-Metrical (AM) model of intonational phonology. Interestingly...
متن کاملFrench Word Order and Lexical Weight
On the basis of the ordering of bare complements, modifying adjectives and certain adverbs in French, we show that certain constituents are more constrained than others, and we explain this situation in terms of weight, as one of the factors which determine word order. In addition to the distinction between heavy and non-heavy constituents, we propose that there exists a distinction among non-h...
متن کاملWord Order Acquisition in Persian Speaking Children

Methods: In the present study, participants were 60 Persian-speaking children (30 girls and 30 boys) with typically developing language skills, and aged between 30-47 months. The 30-minute language samples were audio...
متن کاملA noisy-channel account of crosslinguistic word-order variation.
The distribution of word orders across languages is highly nonuniform, with subject-verb-object (SVO) and subject-object-verb (SOV) orders being prevalent. Recent work suggests that the SOV order may be the default in human language. Why, then, is SVO order so common? We hypothesize that SOV/SVO variation can be explained by language users' sensitivity to the possibility of noise corrupting the...
