Abstract:
This thesis investigates monolingual and bilingual children’s understanding
ofthe interaction between quantifiers and binding. The quantifiers that are
examined in the present studies are all, each and especially every in Dutch
and in English. The binding phenomena studied in this dissertation pertain to
reflexives and pronouns and their antecedents. These antecedents are either
referential NP expressions, such as the kangaroo, or quantified NP
expressions, such as every sheep.
A new explanation is presented to convey monolingual Dutch and English
children’s behaviour on binding tasks. Whereas the standard binding account
can only partly explain English children’s performance, the current
explanation can account for both the English children’s and the Dutch
children’s performance. Monolingual Dutch children are revealed to have a
distributive interpretation preference of the quantifiers, while English
children prefer the collective reading of every. The present thesis shows that
their diverging quantifier preferences affect their binding performance on
sentences containing local quantified NP antecedents.
This new explanation also holds for bilingual children. The studies conducted
in this dissertation found that English-Dutch bilingual children differ from
their monolingual peers regarding their quantifier interpretation preferences.
In line with the proposed explanation, these bilingual children also behave
differently from their monolingual peers with regards to sentences containing
local quantified NP antecedents. Thus, this thesis shows that there is an
interaction between children’s understanding of binding and their preferential
quantifier interpretations.
