Journal of the European Second Language Association, 2017 We report that (i) European 'pro-drop' language learners of Japanese as a foreign language (L1 Spanish) ('pro-drop' JFLs) allowed a sloppy interpretation of null arguments beginning at the primary stage of L2 development, and that (ii) European non-pro ...

Null Subjects in Non-Pro-Drop Languages: The Lens on French
LanguagesThe contrast between languages such as Italian that allow subjects of tensed sentences to be null (i.e., pro-drop languages) and those like French that do not (i.e., non-pro-drop languages) is a classic issue for comparative syntactic research ...

Pro-drop in interrogatives and declaratives.
Linguistik Online, 2019 While there has been a substantial body of research on the asymmetry between main and subordinate clauses in terms of the licensing of pro-drop, potential differences between types of unembedded clause have received much less attention – despite the fact

Translating Pro-Drop Languages With Reconstruction Models [PDF]
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2018 Pronouns are frequently omitted in pro-drop languages, such as Chinese, generally leading to significant challenges with respect to the production of complete translations. To date, very little attention has been paid to the dropped pronoun (DP) problem within neural machine translation (NMT).

Radical Pro Drop and the Morphology of Pronouns [PDF]
Linguistic Inquiry, 2007 We propose a new generalization governing the crosslinguistic distribution of radical pro drop (the type of pro drop found in Chinese). It occurs only in languages whose pronouns are agglutinating for case, number, or some other nominal feature. Other types of languages cannot omit pronouns freely, although they may have agreement-based pro drop. This

Modelling Pro-drop with the Rational Speech Acts Model [PDF]
Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Natural Language Generation, 2018 We extend the classic Referring Expressions Generation task by considering zero pronouns in pro-drop languages such as Chinese, modelling their use by means of the Bayesian Rational Speech Acts model. By assuming that highly salient referents are most likely to be referred to by zero pronouns (i.e., pro-drop is more likely for salient referents than ...

International Journal of English Linguistics, 2017 The correlation between Pro-drop and the nature of verbal morphology is a universal principle. This syntactic phenomenon has been parameterized on the basis of verb inflection. Rich verbal inflection has been advocated to allow pro-drop subject. On contrast, if a language structure maintains a low level of verbal morphology, pro will not be dropped ...
