Abstract

In Lebanese Arabic, lexical subjects may occur before or after verbs, but only before non-verbal predicates. Analysis of spontaneous language samples from 19 two-year-old children shows that postverbal (VS) and preverbal (SV) subjects emerge simultaneously. The youngest children displayed no VS-SV difference in frequency. A slight preference for SV is observed in older children. No preference for SV subjects was found in the speech of the mothers of the younger or older children. Lexical subjects systematically appeared before non-verbal predicates. We interpret these results as evidence for early knowledge of syntactic movement, consistent with Wexler's (1998) Very Early Parameter Setting.

黎巴嫩两岁儿童出现的科目。

在黎巴嫩阿拉伯语中，词性主语可能出现在动词之前或之后，但只能出现在非言语谓语之前。对 19 名两岁儿童的自发语言样本进行的分析表明，语后（VS）和语前（SV）主语是同时出现的。年龄最小的儿童在使用 VS 和 SV 的频率上没有差异。年龄稍大的儿童略微偏好 SV。在年幼或年长儿童的母亲的言语中，都没有发现 SV 主语的偏好。词汇主语系统地出现在非语言谓语之前。我们将这些结果解释为早期句法运动知识的证据，这与韦克斯勒（1998 年）的早期参数设置（Very Early Parameter Setting）是一致的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
