<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The task of
acquiring a language requires an early developing processing ability of
extracting grammatically relevant information from functional items such as
determiners and affixes. In Romance languages, in particular, determiners
concentrate information pertaining to grammatical gender and number as they
morphologically express agreement relations. In this talk, the results of a
series of experiments conducted with children acquiring Brazilian Portuguese are
presented. They aimed at verifying (i) 2-year olds´ ability to rely on number
inflection in the identification of novel objects named by pseudo-nouns; (ii)
the effect of gender/number mismatch between determiner and noun in the
conduction of a picture- identification task by 2 and 3 year olds; (iii) the
effect of morphophonological uncongruence between gender and noun- endings in
the acquisition of novel nouns in an elicited production task conducted with
children from 2 – 4 years of age. The results on the basis of the picture
identification tasks suggest an early ability to conduct syntactic agreement and
an early sensitivity to language specific values of parameters pertaining to
gender and number. Elicited production errors suggest that gender uncongruence
affects most the post- syntactic phonological encoding of a nominal phrase than
the lexical representation of the gender of a novel word, suggesting that
priority is given to the information conveyed by the determiner when novel nouns
are acquired.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
