Dative Clitics as Arguments and Adjuncts
This study investigates the processing of Italian verb constructions containing preverbal dative clitics that function either as arguments or as adjuncts, adopting a developmental perspective across Italian-speaking children, adolescents, and adults. In a self-paced reading experiment, adults and fourteen-year-old adolescents read trivalent verbs selecting a dative argument (‘Martina mi ha prestato una bicicletta.’; Eng.: ‘Martina lent me a bicyc…
Expletive negation in Italian temporal clauses
This work aims to investigate the role of negation when it fails to reverse the polarity of a sentence, thus becoming “expletive”. An example is offered by the following Italian sentence: Chiara è rimasta in casa finché Marco non ha chiamato la pizzeria per la cena (literally ‘Chiara remained in the house until Marco did not call the pizzeria for dinner’, meaning ‘Chiara remained at home until Marco called the pizzeria for dinner’). Although nega…
An investigation of nominal copular sentences in three reading paradigms
Semantic constraints in reading An eye-tracking study of highly restrictive verbs in Italian
Predictability plays a major role in reading research as it’s thought to strongly influence word recognition in cognitive models of eye movement. While it is broadly defined by the probability of a word appearing in a given context, experimental designs in text-based eye-tracking studies are usually centred around lexical combinations, thus conflating a rather wide range of linguistic phenomena, from statistical co-occurrence (e.g. collocations) …
Insights into Phraseological Processing through Stimuli Modification
Collocations are one of the most studied types of word combinations. Their intricate nature, based on varying degrees of restriction, begs the question as to how modifications in their typical form influence the way they are processed by native speakers and learners. In this study, an eye-tracking experiment was carried out. We compared native speakers and learners of Italian when processing typical (i.e., common) and atypical (i.e., uncommon) co…
On Fluency
Fluency is a long-debated notion in linguistics, as it plays a crucial role in second language acquisition (SLA) research and applied linguistics. Starting from some recent discussions on the topic, this paper examines whether aphasiology could benefit from insights from these fields of study. First, we will summarize the most relevant views on fluency concerning aphasic speech. As we will see, every account of fluency has two common features: so…
