Questioning Theoretical Primitives in Linguistic Inquiry: Papers in honor of Ricardo Otheguy
Edited by Naomi Shin and Daniel Erker

This chapter reviews research on children’s monolingual and bilingual acquisition of linguistic variation to consider children’s role in language change. Many patterns of variation are learned early and veridically, but some are acquired late and may be more susceptible to change. Further,… read more

This study explores children’s acquisition of structured morphosyntactic variation by examining Spanish subject pronoun expression. Analyses of 5,923 verbs produced by 154 Mexican children, ages 6 to 16, show that the variables that most strongly constrain the oldest children’s pronoun usage –… read more
2016 Maintenance of Spanish subject pronoun expression patterns among bilingual children of farmworkers in Washington/Montana Spanish in Context 13:2, pp. 173–194 | Article
It has been suggested that contact between Spanish and English results in an increased rate of Spanish subject pronouns and a desensitization to factors that constrain pronoun usage. Yet, evidence for such contact-induced change has been found in some U.S. communities, but not others. In this… read more

Analyses of 404 tokens of 2sg verbs taken from natural conversations indicated clear preferences depending on social networks.… read more
2011 Las keys versus el key: Feminine gender assignment in mixed-language texts Spanish in Context 8:1, pp. 119–143 | Article
Previous research on language mixing has revealed similarities in written and oral production with respect to syntactic and pragmatic patterns (e.g. Callahan 2004). In this study we find, however, that the two modes of expression diverge in loanword gender assignment. English-origin NPs inserted… read more
2005 Overt nonspecific Ellos in Spanish in New York Spanish in Context 2:2, pp. 157–174 | Article
In general Spanish, references to nonspecific third-person plurals are usually made by means of a verb occurring with the null form of the subject pronoun, as in llamaron del banco, rather than by means of a verb occurring with the overt form of the subject pronoun. In contrast to the position in… read more
