Abstract:

Very few studies have been concerned with the acquisition of the Dutch
quantitative pronoun ER, leaving the question unanswered as to why this
particular pronoun seems to be difficult to acquire. In this dissertation it
is investigated which factors play a role in the acquisition of the Dutch
quantitative pronoun ER.

Four factors that might influence the acquisition of quantitative ER were
investigated: learner population (monolingual children, bilingual children,
adult second language learners of Dutch), mother tongue (French or English) in
the case of bilingual or second language acquisition, the type of constraints
on the use of the quantitative pronoun ER (syntactic or semantic) and the type
of knowledge that is targeted (implicit or explicit).

To answer the main research question of this dissertation, five studies were
carried out, in which different types of methodology were used to investigate
the learners’ knowledge of quantitative ER: spontaneous speech, untimed
grammaticality judgement tasks, an elicited imitation task and a sentence
completion task.
 
It was shown that successful acquisition of the Dutch quantitative pronoun ER
depends on learner population, the mother tongue of the learner, and the type
of knowledge that is targeted (implicit or explicit), but not on the type of
constraints (syntactic or semantic) on the use of the quantitative pronoun ER.

This dissertation is relevant to those who are interested in the acquisition
of quantitative constructions and pronouns. More broadly, it contributes to
the understanding of Dutch monolingual, bilingual and adult second language
acquisition.
