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
2023. 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 | Chapter

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
2016. 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 | Article
Quantification in Catalan SLI. Specific Language Impairment: Current trends in research, Stavrakaki, Stavroula (ed.), pp. 191–214
2015. 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 | Article

2011. 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 | Article

2009. 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 | Article
Definite and bare noun contrasts in child Catalan. The Acquisition of Syntax in Romance Languages, Torrens, Vincent and Linda Escobar (eds.), pp. 51–68
2006. 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 | Article

2000. 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 | Article
