Acquiring constraints on morphosyntactic variation: children's Spanish subject pronoun expression
Journal of Child Language, 2015ABSTRACTConstraints on linguistic variation are consistent across adult speakers, yielding probabilistic and systematic patterns. Yet, little is known about the development of such patterns during childhood. This study investigates Spanish subject pronoun expression in naturalistic data from 154 monolingual children in Mexico, divided into four age ...

Such patterns have been variously attributed to transfer/interference and loss of discourse-pragmatic ...

Spanish in Context, 2016
It has been suggested that contact between Spanish and English results in an increased rate of Spanish subject pronouns and a desensitization to factors that constrain pronoun usage. Yet, evidence for such contact-induced change has been found in some U.S. communities, but not others.
