Probing the Representation of Nasal Vowels in Brazilian Portuguese With Language Games
In this paper, we demonstrate that Brazilian Portuguese phonemic nasal vowels are, as Mattoso Camara (1953, 1970) suggested, derived from an underlying sequence of oral vowel plus nasal consonant... or almost that. Two types of transformational language games reveal that Mattoso was 80% right: four of the nasal vowels are indeed derived from such a sequence, while nasal [a)] (strictly speaking, [å)]) is the result of an underlying, inherently nas…
Does Prosodic Bootstrapping Play Any Role in the Acquisition of Auxiliary Fronting in English
In his broad criticism of the biolinguistic approach to the theory of grammar, Everett (2005, 2006) discusses, among other things, the classical instance of the Poverty of the Stimulus Argument drawn from auxiliary fronting in English, originally made by Chomsky. Everett claims that: (i) the rule responsible for the attested pattern would not be structure-dependent, as it could be defined without making reference to hierarchical notions like “mat…
Gender Agreement as a "Decreolizing" Feature of an Afro-Brazilian Dialect
This paper examines variation in the noun phrase gender agreement rule in the Afro-Brazilian Portuguese dialect of Helvétia. The analysis of the variation proceeds within a quantitative framework; it considers structural implications, in generative terms, and sociolinguistic aspects, yielding evidence relevant to the definition of the postcreole nature of the dialect. Structural parallels are found with Portuguese L1 acquisition and with varietie…
