Case-checking and specificity in Tagalog
We propose that in Tagalog, a language of the Philippines, two-place predicates can appear with an ergative Agent and an absolutive Theme or alternatively with an absolutive Agent and a Theme that bears inherent Case. According to our analysis, couched within the Minimalist Program, inherent Case is exceptionally assigned to Themes inside the VP, and these need not move outside the VP for Case-checking. We note that such Themes must be nonspecifi…
The Acquisition of Wh-Question Formation by Malagasy Learners of English
In investigations of the question of whether or not Universal Grammar (UG) is available in non-primary language acquisition, a number of researchers have tried to isolate situations where the way principles of UG operate in the first language (L1) could not help the learner acquire the relevant properties of the second language (L2). If learners show evidence of acquiring properties of the L2 that could not be acquired from the input alone and co…
