Acquiring the core-peripheral distinction in split intransitivity

Journal of Second Language Studies, 2021
Abstract This study presents the results of an experimental investigation into the L2 acquisition of the core-peripheral distinction in the syntax of split intransitivity by L1 Mandarin EFL learners to verify whether or not their L2 acquisition is lexically constrained by the Split Intransitivity Hierarchy, which predicts that core verbs ...

LEXICAL CONSTRAINTS ON THE ACQUISITION OF SPLIT INTRANSITIVITY

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2001
This study investigates the acquisition of the unaccusative-unergative distinction in L2 Japanese by English learners. The aim is to establish whether learners of Japanese are sensitive to the lexical-semantic characteristics of verbs in similar ways as learners of Romance languages who were found to follow the Split Intransitivity Hierarchy (Sorace ...

Split identity: Intransitive judgments of the identity of objects

Cognition, 2011
Identity is a transitive relation, according to all standard accounts. Necessarily, if x=y and y=z, then x=z. However, people sometimes say that two objects, x and z, are the same as a third, y, even when x and z have different properties (thus, x=y and y=z, but x≠z).

Split Intransitivity in Japanese and the Unaccusative Hypothesis

Language, 1996
It has been a locus of debate in the literature whether the so-called unergative-unaccusative split among intransitive verbs is syntactically or semantically based. Previously unnoticed data in Japanese show that the distinction between unergatives and unaccusatives is fully determined on the basis of verbs' inherent lexical meanings.

Italian split intransitivity and image schemas

Annual Review of Cognitive Linguistics, 2007
This paper explores the choice between the auxiliaries BE and HAVE with Italian intransitive verbs. Most attempts to account for split intransitivity in Italian, as well as in other Romance languages, can be roughly grouped into two categories: the syntactic perspective and the semantic view.

A deceptive case of split-intransitivity in Basque

2012
Differences in case marking and auxiliary selection in Basque intransitive verbs (Levin 1983; Ortiz de Urbina 1989; Hale & Keyser 1993; Laka 1995) seem sufficient grounds for changing the current typological classification of Basque from ergative (Dixon 1994; Primus 1999) to split-intransitive. One subset of intransitive verbs is morphologically on

Split Intransitivity Revisited: Comparing Lakota and Osage

International Journal of American Linguistics, 2002
L'A. montre qu'il existe des ecarts significatifs dans la structure interne des systemes d'intransitivite eclatee bases sur des parametres semantiques, non seulement dans des langues sans parente genetique mais aussi au sein de familles de langues. En se basant sur la famille des langues sioux, il montre ainsi qu'en lakota, l'ecrasante majorite des ...

Split intransitivity in Irish and the syntax-semantics interface

2013
This paper considers the notion of split intransitivity as evidenced in the behaviour of perfects in Irish. It is claimed that this language exhibits a distinction between kinds of perfect which roughly corresponds to that between have and be perfects in other languages.
