Furthermore, I show that the distribution and behaviour of Romance pronouns does not provide conclusive evidence to the claim that so-called classes result from the internal make-up of function elements. The distinction between classes of function words is often conceptualised in terms of inner syntax: strong elements are conceived as extended phrases, while clitics correspond – at least in the latter stage of their derivation – to a deprived structure, possibly to a single head exhibiting an affixlike behaviour. The correlation between the behaviour of function words and their syntactic makeup was advanced by Kayne 1975, who argued that clitics are heads inasmuch as they cannot be coordinated, focused, modified, used in isolation, etc. Kayne 1983 argued that certain clitics – noticeably, French subject clitics – are in fact phonological clitics as they show cues of phrasal behaviour. The status of phonological clitics has been revised in comparison to the status of Germanic weak pronouns, e.g. German es, which cannot be coordinated, modified, etc., although they are not bound to a specific host or to a dedicated syntactic position (see Holmberg 1986, 1991 a.o.). The Germanic data led Cardinaletti 1991, 1994, 1998; Cardinaletti & Starke 1996, 1999 to a more articulated typology of deficient elements by individuating a third class of pronouns, which Cardinaletti and Starke term weak. Interand intralinguistic variation follows from the distribution of pronominal forms across the three classes, as exemplified in the following table, which illustrates the status of certain Italian and German pronouns (from Cardinaletti & Starke 1996: 27, 29):","PeriodicalId":113121,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation: Structure and Interpretation","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134274222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lexical parametrization and early subjects in L1 Italian 母语意大利语词汇参数化与早期主词

Lorusso","doi":"10.5296/IJL.V9I6.12113","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5296/IJL.V9I6.12113","url":null,"abstract":"Italian is a pro drop language, since it allows subject drop and subject inversion. The pro-drop parameter is fixed early on (Orfitelli,2008), but both grammatical and informational factors might regulate the distribution of overt clausal subjects. On the grammatical side, the verb class influences the distribution of overt subjects: overt subjects in Italian are more likely to be found with unaccusative verbs (Lorusso, Caprin & Guasti 2005). On the informational side, 1 st and 2 nd person pronouns are more likely to e dropped than 3 rd person NPs because the latter are more informative (Serratrice, 2005): 1 st and 2 nd ab ne recovered by the discourse, while 3 rd persons are totally event anchored and have to be identified referentially within the linguistic stimuli. The parametric differences encoded in the lexical items, for example the unaccusative vs unergative distinction for verbs or the person ‘informative’ morphology, influence the subject drop in Italian: we propose a Lexical Parametrization account (Manzini & Wexler 1987) for subject drop in Italian, since the characteristic of lexical items influence the likelihood of appearance of an overt syntactic structure. Furthermore the distribution of indefinite postverbal subjects found just with unaccusatives in early stages of acquisition of Italian (Lorusso, 2014) confirms that the lexical characteristics of both the subject NPs and the verbs (in a subset relation with other NPs and verbs respectively) determine the parametric overt variation across the different stage of the acquisition of Italian, as Lexical Parametrization predicts.","PeriodicalId":113121,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation: Structure and Interpretation","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128991836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
