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…
Processing standard and expletive negation
Natural language sometimes expresses negation in rather puzzlingly different forms. Different from Standard Negation (SN), Expletive Negation (EN) involves a negative marker that does not affect the truth conditions of a sentence. The theoretical literature debates whether EN is a semantically empty element or a negative operator. This paper addresses this question by investigating the processing of EN and SN against affirmative sentences through…
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) …
