2023 First language acquisition of relativisation in Moroccan Arabic Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXXIV: Papers from the Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics, Tucson, Arizona, 2020, Azaz, Mahmoud (ed.), pp. 213–230 | Chapter
In this paper, we investigate the acquisition of relativisation in young children exposed to Moroccan Arabic. The aim of the experiment reported is to test the hypothesis by Friedmann, Belletti and Rizzi (2009) according to which children follow a stricter version of Relativised Minimality (RM)… read more

Previous cross-linguistic research showed that verbal passives are delayed in child grammar. Moreover, Maratsos et al. (1985) found that actional passives elicit more adult-like results than non-actional passives in child English. Hirsch & Wexler (2006) proposed that the adult-like results… read more

2016 A study on an alleged case of Spanish SLI and the founder effect Biolinguistic Investigations on the Language Faculty, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. 169–194 | Article
According to Villanueva et al. (2008), the incidence of Specific Language Impairment in the child population of a Chilean South Pacific island is 35%, five to seven times higher than in the continental population. While this research pinpointed a relationship between the children’s genetic profile… read more
2015 Quantification in Catalan SLI Specific Language Impairment: Current trends in research, Stavrakaki, Stavroula (ed.), pp. 191–214 | Article
In recent years researchers have pointed out various domains in which children
with SLI differ from typically developing children. However, the language
faculty is not compromised as a whole in SLI. In this paper we consider an area
that appears to be spared: knowledge of quantification. We compare… read more
2011 Cartography and agrammatic syntactic production in Ibero-Romance Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 2009: Selected papers from 'Going Romance' Nice 2009, Berns, Janine, Haike Jacobs and Tobias Scheer (eds.), pp. 115–132 | Article
Friedmann’s work has shown that the syntactic productions of Broca’s aphasics are much more selectively impaired than previously thought. Here we entertain the Tree Pruning Hypothesis of Friedmann and evaluate its predictions in Catalan, Galician and Spanish, under the assumption that the… read more
2009 Subjects, verb classes and word order in child Catalan Hispanic Child Languages: Typical and impaired development, Grinstead, John (ed.), pp. 175–194 | Article
A line of research initiated in Borer and Wexler (1987) and more recently pursued in Wexler (2004) indicates that language acquisition is conditioned by the maturation of the principles that regulate the projection of derived subjects. We consider what might be the consequences of assuming such… read more
2006 Definite and bare noun contrasts in child Catalan The Acquisition of Syntax in Romance Languages, Torrens, Vincent and Linda Escobar (eds.), pp. 51–68 | Article
Thirty-three children aged 3–5 were tested for comprehension of definite and bare noun (BN) contrasts in Catalan, a language with bare nouns in direct object but not in subject position. Catalan objects have the same semantics as English subjects: BNs map to generic and definites into specific… read more

2000 The acquisition of clitics and strong pronouns in Catalan Clitics in Phonology, Morphology and Syntax, Gerlach, Birgit and Janet Grijzenhout (eds.), pp. 161–180 | Article
Within the experimental tradition of the study of acquisition of pronouns, one major aim has been to test whether binding principles are innate. Most findings support the claim that whether binding is innate, pragmatic notions like ‘point of view’ or ‘discourse-context’, which are related to free… read more
