La posició dels clítics i de les marques de negació pressuposicional en els contextos de reestructuració
2021
En aquest article presentem l'estudi de la variació microsintàctica en els parlars catalans com a estratègia per a una comprensió millor i més aprofundida dels contextos de reestructuració i de les dependències a llarga distància. Proposem que la reestructuració implica l'existència d'una estructura biclausal amb un domini subordinat defectiu. Aportem proves a favor d'aquesta anàlisi tot explorant les posicions dels clítics i de les marques de negació pressuposicional en contextos de reestructuració en les varietats del català. D'una banda, les dades recollides demostren que, tot i que l'ascens del clític i l'ús de les marques pressuposicionals al domini subordinat són fenòmens independents…
Who do you refer to? How young students with mild intellectual disability confront anaphoric ambiguities in texts and sentences.
2015
Along 2 experiments we tested the anaphoric pronoun resolution abilities of readers with intellectual disability in comparison with chronological and reading age-matched groups. In Experiment 1, the anaphor test of Elosua, Carriedo, and Garcia-Madruga (2009) confirmed that readers with intellectual disability (ID) are slower than control readers resolving clitic anaphoric pronouns, especially when the use of morphological cues (e.g. gender) is necessary. In order to test if the poor performance could be due to low levels of metacognitive skills during reading, an inconsistency detection task combined with eye tracking was designed in Experiment 2. Participants read short texts with an anaph…
Il clitico soggetto di terza persona al in friulano centrale. Proposta per una nuova analisi
2018
This chapter discusses the syntactic properties of the subject clitici pronoun 'al' ('he.CL') in Central Friulian. The description is based on a comparison with Western Friulian, in which the clitic cluster 'a l' occurs. We show that the Central Friulian 'al' is syntactically different and should be analysed as a single clitic. In the cases in which 'al' does not occur (this happens when another clitic pronoun is present), or when it occurs in the form -l (only after negation: 'nol' 'not=he.CL) is due to phonology. Our proposal is also strengthened by considering data from aphasia: aphasic speakers of Central Friulian seem to conceive the 'al' as a single clitic.
Sintaxi dels clítics pronominals en català medieval
2005
In this article a classical topic of the studies on historical syntax is analysed: the enclitical or proclitical collocation of atonic pronouns in Catalan. From a Romanic and comparative prespective, it is shown that the clitical pronouns in Old Catalan have a very similar behaviour to the atonic ones in other Romanic lenguages such as, for instance, medieval Spanish or Portuguese, on one hand, and French, on the other. Specifically, we analyse phenomena such as: (i) pronoun collocation in connection to the verb in main and subordinate propositions, in propositions where the verb is the main constituent, in negative propositions, (ii) duplication of clitics or (iii) clitic raising.
Contact-induced phenomena in the Alps
2019
The main question underlying this chapter is to what extent language contact can affect syntactic structure. To tackle this issue we examine two relevant phenomena found in two minority languages spoken in the region Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol: clitic climbing in Dolomitic Ladin and the use of the Romance complementizer ke in Cimbrian. Both phenomena are usually considered as the result of a contact-induced change influenced by the neighbouring Italo-Romance varieties. However, it is shown that the rising of clitic climbing is a language-internal process which is only accelerated by the contact with Italian. Similarly, the lexical borrowing of the complementizer ke in Cimbrian does not…
Caratteristiche di Personalità e Profili Anaclitici/Introiettivi di Adolescenti Borderline
2014
Il Disturbo Borderline di Personalità (DBP) in adolescenza occupa un ruolo centrale (Bradley, Conklin, & Westen, 2005), nonostante l’eterogeneità, la comorbidità e la difficile diagnosticabilità (Heitz et al., 2014). Diversi sono stati i tentativi di creare categorie discrete in grado di identificare profili di funzionamento della personalità sufficientemente omogenei (cfr. Wixom, Ludolph, & Westen, 1993; Blatt & Luyten, 2009). Nel nostro studio ci proponiamo di confermare l’esistenza di profili introiettivi/anaclitici all’interno dello spettro borderline. Sono stati somministrati a due gruppi di soggetti (clinico vs controllo) la Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Disorders (…
Microvariation in the Distribution of Resumptive Pronouns in the Left Dislocation Construction in Two Tyrolean Dialects of Northern Italy
2023
In this paper we document a so-far neglected case of microvariation involving resumptive pronouns in the left-dislocation construction in Meranese, spoken in South Tyrol, and Mòcheno, spoken in the Fersina valley (Trentino). While in standard German resumptive elements in this construction belong to the class of D-pronouns, the two Tyrolean dialects considered in the paper exhibit, as resumptive pronouns, both (i) D-pronouns and (ii) pronominal usages of the distal demonstrative formed by the definite article (D) and sèll corresponding to ‘that one’. We show that in both languages D+sèll forms overlap with German D-pronouns in most contexts, whereas D-pronou…
A syntactic analysis of the subject clitic a in the Friulian variety of Campone
2015
This article presents a syntactic analysis of the third person subject clitic a in Camponese, a heretofore unstudied Friulian variety. Following Poletto's (2000) map of subject clitics, we argue that it bears [+third person] features, and is, in fact, the spell-out of the functional head Subj°, located in the highest projection of TP (following Rizzi & Shlonsky 2007). In the first part of the article, we offer a detailed description of the distribution and syntactic properties of the subject clitic a, identifying its position in relation to the other elements that occur in the CP and TP. In the second part we discuss two proposals put forward to account for split clitics like a-l in the…
Using discourse markers to negotiate epistemic stance: A view from situated language use
2021
Abstract In this paper, I analyse the usage of a discourse marker =mari, belonging to the epistemic paradigm attested in Upper Napo Kichwa (Quechuan, Ecuador). I show that the use of =mari indicates that the information is known well to the speaker, but also to some extent familiar to the addressee. In situated language use, the marker contributes to creating a knowing epistemic stance of the speaker. The analysis presented here is based on a 13-h documentary corpus of interactive Upper Napo Kichwa discourse, recorded on audio and video. For the purpose of the paper, the relevant utterances are analysed in their broad interactional context, including not only the surrounding text, but also …
