Two Subject Asymmetries in Defaka Focus Constructions
Defaka allows optional fronting of one XP in a clause; this fronting carries with it some type of discourse prominence, and is taken here to be a process of focus movement. Interestingly, this movement can trigger special morphology in two different places, depending on what kind of phrase is focused. This results in two asymmetries between subjects and other types of phrases. First, focused lo...
متن کاملFocus and Archaic Chinese Word Order
This paper challenges a widely held assumption that the existence of constructions in Archaic Chinese in which an object appeared in preverbal position provides evidence that Pre-Archaic Chinese had OV basic word order. I argue that the preverbal objects in questions – wh-phrases and focused NPs – could not have been base-generated in their surface positions but rather must be analyzed as havin...
متن کاملSubject-Object Asymmetries in Korean Sentence Comprehension
The Entropy Reduction Hypothesis (Hale, 2006) derives the subject-object asymmetry in Korean relative clauses. This asymmetry has been observed by Kwon, Polinsky, and Kluender (2006), among others. Agreement between the Entropy Reduction predictions and the available empirical data suggests that the heightened comprehension difficulty attested in object-extracted relatives is due to distinctive...
متن کاملSubject-Object Asymmetries in the Acquisition of Clefts
A well-documented asymmetry in children’s acquisition of A-bar movement constructions is that movement of objects is more difficult than movement of subjects. This asymmetry has been most frequently observed with relative clauses (de Villiers et al. 1979, Correa 1995, Friedmann and Novogrodski 2004, Adani 2011, Guasti et al. 2012, a.o), but has also been reported, to a lesser extent, with wh-qu...
متن کاملCan Constraint Induced Movement Therapy Improve In-Hand Manipulation Skills: A Single Subject Design
Objectives: This study describes a single subject design (ABA) that shows the effective use of constraint induced movement therapy in improvement of quality and performance of in-hand manipulation skills for a 10 year old boy and a 9 years old girl with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, as Dickerson (2007) showed it in arm movement and function. Methods: To determine the effectiveness of CIMT by th...
