Features and affix-hop
10.1556/064.2016.63.1.1
pp. 1–22. 

Abstract: In this paper, I review how formal features are currently regarded
and used in the Minimalist Program. Although features are the cornerstone in
Minimalism, they are used in many different and conflicting ways. Features may
seem particularly relevant to affix-hop because the affix has to be checked
against a higher verb or auxiliary. Chomsky’s (1957) analysis of affix-hop has
the affix connected with an auxiliary, e.g., the -en of have-en, move to a
verb on its right, as in have see-en. This analysis is one of the high points
of early generative grammar but, with each new instantiation of the generative
model, it has needed adjustments and the phenomenon is still debated. I will
elaborate on a proposal made in van Gelderen (...)

Sustainable bilingualism and language shift
10.1556/064.2016.63.1.2
pp. 23–61. 

Abstract: In this paper, I introduce the longitudinal method in general, and
more specifically, the method applied in a two-decade-long language shift
research project conducted in a Romanian–Hungarian bilingual village,
Kétegyháza (hereinafter LongBiLing: longitudinal study on bilingualism). I
will primarily present the language choice changes occurring in the first
decade (1990–2001) but I will also give a short review of the findings
comparing the two decades. The aim of the project is to find out at what stage
the Romanian-Hungarian language shift process is in the Hamers and Blanc’s
(1989) unidimensional model of language shift and to what extent the process
can be considered gradual (Mesthrie 2001). In a previous article I sought to
find out in which bilingual national minority (out of the six) in Hungary
sustainable bilingualism was the strongest (...)

The pronoun interpretation problem in child Hungarian
10.1556/064.2016.63.1.3
pp. 63–96. 

Abstract: In a number of languages, children have problems with the
interpretation of pronouns if a potential local antecedent is present. There
is an intensive debate on whether this effect is due to a delayed acquisition
of Principle B, or it is the result of pragmatic or processing difficulties
that children face in interpretation tasks. We conducted two experiments
involving a picture-sentence verification task to investigate whether the
Pronoun Interpretation Problem exists in Hungarian child language. We found
that the Problem is present if the test sentences are given in isolation, but
it disappears if a minimally coherent discourse is created. (...)

procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
