Comprehension asymmetries in language acquisition: a test for Relativized Minimality
Journal of Child Language, 2014 ABSTRACTCross-linguistic studies have shown that typically developing children have difficulties comprehending non-canonical structures. These findings have been interpreted within the Relativized Minimality (RM) approach, according to which local relations cannot be established between two terms of a dependency if an intervening element possesses ...

Pure $\Sigma_2$-Elementarity beyond the Core

Embedded verb second in north-eastern Italy
