Processing Coordinate Subject-Verb Agreement in L1 and L2 Greek
The present study examines the processing of subject-verb (SV) number agreement with coordinate subjects in pre-verbal and post-verbal positions in Greek. Greek is a language with morphological number marked on nominal and verbal elements. Coordinate SV agreement, however, is special in Greek as it is sensitive to the coordinate subject's position: when pre-verbal, the verb is marked for plural...
متن کاملIs children’s comprehension of subject--verb agreement universally late? Comparative evidence from French, English, and Spanish
Previous research has suggested that comprehension of agreement morphology is surprisingly late (e.g. compared to production), prompting explanations attributing acquisition difficulty to various universal or language-particular features of agreement. In this paper we synthesize research from three languages---French, Spanish, and English---to argue that comprehension of subject--verb agreement...
متن کاملRevealing Early Comprehension of Subject-Verb Agreement in Spanish
Previous research has revealed that, in at least some languages, children’s comprehension of subject-verb (SV) agreement is delayed compared to production. For example, children acquiring Spanish and English have not been found to show comprehension of number agreement in the 3 person until surprisingly late, around age 5 (Spanish: PérezLeroux, 2005; English: Johnson, de Villiers, & Seymour, 20...
متن کاملAgarra, agarran: Evidence of early comprehension of subject-verb agreement in Spanish.
Studies across many languages (e.g., Dutch, English, Farsi, Spanish, Xhosa) have failed to show early acquisition of subject-verb (SV) agreement, whereas recent studies on French reveal acquisition by 30months of age. Using a similar procedure as in previous French studies, the current study evaluated whether earlier comprehension of SV agreement in (Mexican) Spanish can be revealed when task d...
متن کاملSubject-verb agreement in Spanish and English: differences in the role of conceptual constraints.
This paper reports studies of subject-verb agreement errors with speakers of Spanish and English; we used a sentence completion task, first introduced by Bock and Miller (1991). In a series of four experiments, we assessed the role of semantic information carried by the sentential subject in the induction of subject-verb agreement errors. For Spanish speakers, a sentence preamble such as la eti...
