Null Subjects in Non-Pro-Drop Languages: The Lens on French

Languages
The 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. Nevertheless, while several studies have been dedicated to pro-drop languages, distinguishing across ...

The Pro-Drop Parameter in Second Language Acquisition

1987
The parameterized model of Core Grammar that has been recently proposed by Chomsky (1981) has a two-fold function. As a part of the framework of linguistic theory, the model accounts for some systematic differences between languages, and accounts for a wide variety of constructions within an individual language.

Root Infinitives in Two Pro-Drop Languages

2002
Research into the acquisition of typologically different languages suggests that the existence of a root infinitive stage (RI stage), where children produce infinitive verbs in the place of finite verbs, is connected with language specific properties that have to do with verbal inflection.

Adult Null Subjects in the non-pro-drop Languages: Two Diary Dialects

Language Acquisition, 2001
This article is concerned with subject omission in English diaries, a phenomenon that has often been taken to be the adult analogue of subject omission in child language. This hypothesis is based on the observation that, as is the case in subject omission in the child language, subject omission in the adult diary style is restricted to root contexts ...

Abstract In this article we present an account of the history of verb second and pro drop in French and English. We shall identify two types of verb second languages, which we call C-oriented or CV2 languages, and I-oriented or IV2 languages, and the specific properties correlating with this distinction.

Pronoun reference resolution in a pro-drop language

2013
Accessibility is thought to be the main factor for the reference resolution of a pronoun. One of the factors that defines the accessibility is word order. The reference of a pronoun is more likely to be the subject or the first mentioned noun as in The father goes fishing with his son. He... where he is more likely to be the father.

Uniform and Non-Uniform Aspects of Pro-Drop Languages

2006
Abstract In a recent paper, Alexiadou and Anagnostopoulou (1998) put forth an approach to the pro-drop parameter and the Extended Projection principle (EPP), according to which (1) EPP is universal and is understood as a D feature on I (Chomsky 1995) and (2) pro-drop languages satisfy this feature via A movement to I owing to the ...
