2024 Remarks on the syntax of bare nouns in Papiamentu Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages: Online-First Articles | Article
This article presents an argument that bare (singular) nouns in Papiamentu include additional silent functional structure, as proposed in Kester and Schmitt (2007). The argument is based on Dutch-Papiamentu code-switched noun phrases and exploits the crucial datum that a Dutch bare noun is… read more
2021 Chapter 7. Contact phenomena: The I-language of a bilingual Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 2018: Selected papers from 'Going Romance' 32, Utrecht, Baauw, Sergio, Frank Drijkoningen and Luisa Meroni (eds.), pp. 131–150 | Chapter
Against the common-sense notion that bilinguals have two grammatical systems I argue that the linguistic system of a bilingual should be integrated, following ideas developed in more detail in López (2020). In particular, I argue that both the lexicon and the post-syntactic operations that lead… read more
2018 Introduction: Theory and methodology in code-switching research Code-switching – Experimental Answers to Theoretical Questions: In honor of Kay González-Vilbazo, López, Luis (ed.), pp. 1–14 | Chapter
2018 Using two-alternative forced choice tasks and Thurstone’s law of comparative judgments for code-switching research Methodologies for intra-sentential code-switching research, Munarriz-Ibarrola, Amaia, M. Carmen Parafita Couto and Emma Vanden Wyngaerd (eds.), pp. 67–97 | Article
This article argues that 2-alternative forced choice tasks and Thurstone’s law of comparative judgments (Thurstone, 1927) are well suited to investigate code-switching competence by means of acceptability judgments. We compare this method with commonly used Likert scale judgments and find that… read more
2017 Chapter 11. Obliteration after Vocabulary Insertion Multidisciplinary Approaches to Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone World, Bellamy, Kate, Michael W. Child, Paz González, Antje Muntendam and M. Carmen Parafita Couto (eds.), pp. 261–282 | Chapter
Seminal work in Distributed Morphology has posited an operation type calledObliteration(Arregi & Nevins, 2006), which deletes a terminal node from a structure. Obliteration is assumed to take place before Vocabulary Insertion (VI). Based on bilinguals’ acceptability judgments of negative sentences… read more
2016 Little v and cross-linguistic variation: Evidence from code switching and the Surinamese creoles Theoretical Approaches to Linguistic Variation, Bidese, Ermenegildo, Federica Cognola and Manuela Caterina Moroni (eds.), pp. 317–336 | Article
The main claim of this paper is that little v is responsible for a range of grammatical properties of the predicate phrase that it selects for. Bilingual light verb constructions in several code-switching varieties provide strong evidence for this claim. It allows us to broaden the empirical scope… read more
2010 Givenness and discourse anaphors Comparative and Contrastive Studies of Information Structure, Breul, Carsten and Edward Göbbel (eds.), pp. 51–76 | Article
This chapter argues that Catalan Clitic Right Dislocation and English deaccenting package different types of information (contra Vallduví 1992, Vallduví & Engdahl 1996), only the former being a true discourse anaphor. This chapter further hypothesizes the following generalization: A language in… read more
