What Can the Acquisition of Proper Names and Kinship Terms Tell us about the Acquisition of the DP?

چکیده
This paper is concerned with the acquisition of structures involving Proper Names (PN) and Kinship Terms (KT). Building on ideas from Radford (1990) and Pine & Martindale (1996), and based on data on the acquisition of structures involving PNs and KTs in Modern Greek (MG), I will argue that the acquisition of the functional projection DP does not take place in an all or nothing fashion, but rather develops in a gradual manner.

Optimizing design of 3D seismic acquisition by CRS trace interpolation
Land seismic data acquisition in most of cases suffers from obstacles in fields which deviates geometry of the real acquired data from what was designed. These obstacles will cause gaps, narrow azimuth and offset limitation in the data. These shortcomings, not only prevents regular trace distribution in bins, but also distorts the subsurface image by reducing illumination of the target formatio...

Second language acquisition research often compares non-native acquirers (L2ers) with other learner populations. Such cross-population comparisons include: (i) child native language (L1) acquisition~child L2 acquisition (e.g. Gavruseva 2000; Weerman et al. 2003); (ii) child L2~adult L2 (e.g. Cancino et al. 1978; McDonald 2000; Montrul 2002; Weerman et al. 2003) and (iii) child L1~adult L2 (Canc...
متن کاملTowards a definition of intake in second language acquisition
Intake is a concept that has long fascinated second language researchers as it provides a window onto the crucial intermediary stage between input and acquisition. A better understanding of this intermediary stage can help us to distinguish between input that is used for immediate (e.g. communicative) purposes only and input that is drawn on for learning. This articl...

Background. Consider the fact that the implementation of aerobic exercise can be effective in the learning and acquisition process, and that training athletes to acquire new skills is appropriately done in terms of the primacy and recency of the training time for aerobic activities such as the warm-up. Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of moderate-inten...
