One recent explanation of the discrepancy between empirical results and linguistic theory is that the Binding Theory is in need of reformulation to include only bound variable interpretations of pronominals as well as reflexives, with intended coreference relegated to the domain of pragmatics. The Dutch studies presented here explore children’s sensitivity to bound variable interpretations of reflexives and pronominals by investigating their understanding of VP-deletion sentences. The results show errors with pronominals that do not support the reformulated version of the Binding Theory as a better description of children’s acquisition problems. (DRAFT: non-final version!!) PROBLEMS WITH PRONOUN ACQUISITION 1. The traditional Binding Theory Knowledge of anaphora in relation to reflexives and pronominals is traditionally summed up in two of the principles of the Binding Theory (Chomsky, 1981): Principle A a bound anaphor, like the reflexive himself, must be bound in its governing category, and Principle B a free anaphor, like the pronominal him, must not be bound in its governing category. Based on the principles and parameters view of language acquisition, it has been proposed that the principles of the Binding Theory should have an innate basis, or be part of what is often called Universal Grammar. Children’s knowledge of the Binding Theory principles has been quite extensively investigated during the last decade, but the empirical evidence does not give as straightforward a picture as was originally expected. Children’s performance on anaphora tasks is more of a mixed success than had been predicted. Correct understanding of anaphoric reference with pronominals and reflexives is not instantaneously visible in very young children; but it does improve over time. Developmental patterns for sentences with reflexives and pronominals also do not necessarily run parallel. One of the more consistent results is that children relatively quickly and easily come to understand bound anaphors, such as reflexives. In the case of pronominals, development is usually (but not always) slow, often stagnating and problematic for many years, even up into middle childhood. In some experimental studies, children seem to be interpreting pronouns as if they were reflexives, and this is specifically the one error that they should not be making. To make the picture even more confusing, there are also situations in which children perform equally well on sentences with pronominals and reflexives, or even better on sentences with pronominals (Kaufman, 1992). If both Binding Theory principles are presumed to be part of innate linguistic knowledge, how is it possible that children often, but not always, seem to be able to start using one principle earlier and better than the other? Several proposals have been made as to what the problem is with the Binding Theory ","PeriodicalId":269579,"journal":{"name":"Binding, Dependencies, and Learnability","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126933415","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}
