Proceedings of the 2nd Conference on Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition North America (GALANA) edited by Alyona Belikova, Luisa Meroni, and Mari Umeda ISBN 978-1-57473-419-5 library binding vii + 490 pages publication date: 2007 published by Cascadilla Proceedings Project, Somerville, MA, USA Table of contents Abstract Koji Sugisaki NP Ellipsis and Parameters: An Acquisitional Perspective 416-425 (complete pdf) This study presents experimental evidence that the grammar of young Japanese-speaking children permits the sloppy-identity interpretation of phonologically null arguments. This finding is in conformity with recent, minimalist approaches to Hale's (1983) Configurationality Parameter that postulate a tight connection between the possibility of noun-phrase ellipsis and the availability of scrambling (Oku 1998, Saito 2003). |
