Abstract:
The volume examines syntactic complexity from an acquisitional perspective,
which offers a peculiarly grounded starting point when dealing with linguistic
complexity, under the assumption that what is simpler is acquired earlier than
what must be thought of as complex. Connecting acquisitional data inseparably
to formal linguistic analyses, it not only allows a comparison between
structures at various levels in terms of complexity, but also a deeper insight
into the factors determining complexity in different populations of acquirers.
The book is divided into two parts following an introductory chapter. The
papers in Part I consider the first language acquisition of some complex
structures such as different types of passives, relative clauses, questions
and classes of predicates, with a look at children’s early sensitivity to
seemingly complex domains, such as the Definiteness Effect and unaccusative
predicates. Part II is dedicated to the acquisition of complex structures in
different modes of acquisition. The papers here examine, sometimes
comparatively, different conditions of language acquisition dealing with
clitics, types of relative clauses or referential pronouns. The languages
considered range from European Portuguese to Finnish, French, German, Italian
and Romanian.
