Abstract

Campos (1986) argues that object drop in Spanish exhibits island effects. This claim has remained unchallenged up to today and is largely assumed in the literature. In this paper, I show that this characterization is not empirically correct: given a proper discourse context, null objects can easily appear within a syntactic island in Spanish. This observation constitutes a non-trivial problem for object drop analyses based on movement.

西班牙语中的物体掉落不受岛屿影响

Campos(1986)认为西班牙语中的物体掉落表现出岛屿效应。直到今天，这一说法仍然没有受到质疑，并且在很大程度上是在文献中假设的。在本文中，我证明了这种特征在经验上是不正确的:给定适当的话语上下文，null对象很容易出现在西班牙语的语法孤岛中。这一观察结果构成了基于运动的物体掉落分析的一个重要问题。
