2024 Chapter 10. On the production and omission of dative and accusative clitics in Italian children with learning difficulties Language Acquisition in Romance Languages, Torrens, Vicenç (ed.), pp. 232–252 | Chapter
This paper investigates the production of third person singular dative (3DAT) and accusative clitic pronouns (3ACC) in Italian children diagnosed with Learning Difficulties (LD), compared to a group of typically developing (TD) age peers (mean age 9;1). Results show that 3DAT clitics are… read more
2022 Chapter 2. Theory-driven approaches and empirical advances: A protocol for Pseudo-Coordinations and Multiple Agreement Constructions in Italo-Romance Pseudo-Coordination and Multiple Agreement Constructions, Giusti, Giuliana, Vincenzo Nicolò Di Caro and Daniel Ross (eds.), pp. 35–64 | Chapter
Italo-Romance varieties present at least three types of constructions that cluster together two verbs displaying double tense and double subject agreement and are taken as Pseudo-Coordinations (PseCos) or Multiple Agreement Constructions (MACs). In this paper, we follow Cardinaletti and Giusti’s… read more
2020 Chapter 3. Left- and Right-Dislocation and the speaker’s perspective Brazilian Portuguese, Syntax and Semantics: 20 years of Núcleo de Estudos Gramaticais, Pires De Oliveira, Roberta, Ina Emmel and Sandra Quarezemin (eds.), pp. 87–106 | Chapter
In Italian, topics appear in left- or right-dislocated position and are doubled by clause-internal clitic pronouns. In this paper, the syntax and the contribution to discourse of left- and right-dislocated topics are discussed. We focus on Familiar Topics, the only topic which can appear in… read more
2020 Language impairment in an Italian child with Trisomy X: Assessment and intervention Typical and Impaired Processing in Morphosyntax, Torrens, Vincent (ed.), pp. 209–238 | Chapter
This study deals with the case of Emma, an Italian 8-year-old girl affected by a sex chromosome anomaly called Trisomy X and diagnosed with Expressive Language Impairment. Language assessment of both comprehension and production was conducted through standardized and non-standardized, experimental… read more
2015 WH-duplication in Italian Sign Language (LIS) Signs and Structures: Formal Approaches to Sign Language Syntax, Rutkowski, Paweł (ed.), pp. 39–70 | Article
This paper focuses on those WH-questions in Italian Sign Language (LIS) featuring two lexically identical WH-signs. We show that WH1 (the first WH in linear order) is shorter than WH2 (the second WH in liner order). However, there is evidence that this different duration is due to a phrase final… read more
2015 Italian verb-based discourse particles in a comparative perspective Discourse-oriented Syntax, Bayer, Josef, Roland Hinterhölzl and Andreas Trotzke (eds.), pp. 71–92 | Article
This paper provides a syntactic analysis of Italian verb-based discourse particles. In spite of their utterance-peripheral distribution and their pragmatic content, they should be considered as integrated in the sentence with which they are associated. It is argued that sentence-initial and… read more
2015 On the comprehension and production of passive sentences and relative clauses by Italian university students with dyslexia Structures, Strategies and Beyond: Studies in honour of Adriana Belletti, Di Domenico, Elisa, Cornelia Hamann and Simona Matteini (eds.), pp. 279–302 | Article
This study investigates the comprehension and production of relative clauses and passive sentences by a group of 10 university students with dyslexia in order to check their competence of marked word orders. Comprehension was tested through the oral modality using picture and agent selection tasks,… read more
2013 wh-duplication in Italian Sign Language (LIS) Sign Language Syntax from a Formal Perspective: Selected Papers from the 2012 Warsaw FEAST, Rutkowski, Paweł (ed.), pp. 157–188 | Article
This paper focuses on those wh-questions in Italian Sign Language (LIS) featuring two lexically identical wh-signs. We show that wh1 (the first wh in linear order) is shorter than wh2 (the second wh in liner order). However, there is evidence that this different duration is due to a phrase-final… read more
2012 Can speech pitch perception be measured language-independently? Linguistics in the Netherlands 2012, Elenbaas, Marion and Suzanne Aalberse (eds.), pp. 55–67 | Article
Recently, a test battery was developed with the goal of assessing perception of F0 in linguistic, but language-independent, contexts by listeners from different language backgrounds. Test validation using Dutch, Italian and Romanian listeners generally showed comparable performance. In this study… read more
2010 Functional vowels in main questions in Northern Italian dialects Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 2008: Selected papers from 'Going Romance' Groningen 2008, Bok-Bennema, Reineke, Brigitte Kampers-Manhe and Bart Hollebrandse (eds.), pp. 37–58 | Article
The goal of this paper is to describe the distribution and to explain the nature of the vowels that appear in preverbal position in main questions in many Northern Italian dialects. We use data primarily from the town of Donceto in the province of Piacenza, as well as data from many other Northern… read more
2010 Preverbal vowels in wh-questions and declarative sentences in Northern Italian Piacentine dialects Romance Linguistics 2009: Selected papers from the 39th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), Tucson, Arizona, March 2009, Colina, Sonia, Antxon Olarrea and Ana Maria Carvalho (eds.), pp. 353–368 | Article
In this paper, we discuss preverbal vocalic segments in interrogative and declarative sentences. Their distribution depends on the type of subject (1sg, 1pl, 2pl vs 2sg, 3sg, 3pl), the presence of other preverbal clitics, and the verb tense (present vs present perfect). We show that two different… read more
2009 On a (wh-)moved Topic in Italian, compared to Germanic Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 3–40 | Article
In this paper, I compare Romance and Germanic left periphery. I show that Italian Resumptive Preposing (RP) differs from both Clitic Left Dislocation (CLLD) and Focalization and shares many properties with fronting phenomena in English (Topicalization, Locative Inversion, Comparative Inversion). RP… read more
2008 On different types of clitic clusters The Bantu–Romance Connection: A comparative investigation of verbal agreement, DPs, and information structure, De Cat, Cécile and Katherine Demuth (eds.), pp. 41–82 | Article
In this paper, Italian and Bantu clitic clusters are analyzed and compared. I claim that in both language families, pronouns check case in a low clitic position, and in so doing they reverse the order of arguments. In Italian, clitics move to a high clitic position where they check person and… read more
2007 Subjects and wh-questions: Some new generalizations Romance Linguistics 2006: Selected papers from the 36th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), New Brunswick, March-April 2006, Camacho, José, Nydia Flores-Ferrán, Liliana Sánchez, Viviane Déprez and María José Cabrera (eds.), pp. 57–80 | Article
