Subject: Qs: SE anaphors and diatransitive verbs
Could anyone help me with the following questions?
AA. I will refer to morphologically simple anaphors (i.e., seg) as SE
anaphors and to complex anaphors as SELF anaphors (i.e., seg
selv). Now, consider the following Norwegian paradigm:
(1a) John(i) viste Ole *seg(i)/seg selv(i)
John(i) showed to-Ole SE(i)/SELF(i)
(1b) John(i) viste seg(i)/seg selv(i) til Ole
John(i) showed SE(i)/SLEF(i) to Ole
(2a) John(i) viste seg(i)/seg selv(i) Ole
John(i) showed to-SE(i)/to-SELF(i) Ole
(2b) John(i) viste Ole til *seg(i)/seg selv(i)
John(i) showed Ole to SE(i)/SELF(i)
Do other languages with SE and SELF anaphors pattern like Norwegian?
AB. More in detail, does the choice of the verb affect the licensing
of the SE anaphor? For example, I'm aware of the ungrammaticality of
the following Dutch examples (from Reinhart and Reuland 1993):
(3) *Peter(i) vertrouwde zich(i) zijn dochter toe.
Peter(i) ebtrusted to-SE(i) his daughter PRT
(4) *Henk(i) wees zich (i) aan mij toe.
Henk(i) assigned SE(i) to me PRT
Please note that I'm not simply referring to lexically reflexive verbs
such as "shame", "wash", which (usually) take SE anaphors. Anyway, it
seems to me that "show" could hardly be classified as an inherent
reflexive verb.
B. I expect the possible meanings of (1b) and (2a) with the SE
anaphor (in any language that allows it) to be a subset of the
possible meanings of the same sentences with the SELF anaphors (along
the lines of Lidz 1996 (Linguist on-line conference)). Is this
correct?
Thank you in advance

Subject: Query on Dutch langauge acquisition
Can anyone refer us to studies on language learning errors in Dutch
children's acquisition of Dutch? We're especially interested in
children getting features mixed up, such as * de kantoor for het
kantoor (wrong gender), * Mij is blij for Ik be blij (wrong case), *
Ik gaat naar het markt voor Ik ga naar het markt (wrong number), etc.
Thanks,
