A Comparison of Pronouns and Anaphors in Italian and English Acquisition.

McKee, Cecile

Language Acquisition, v2 n1 p21-54 1992

Four experiments on the acquisition of binding are compared, two conducted with Italian-speaking children and two with English-speaking children. English-speaking children's mastery of pronominal binding is found to lag behind their mastery of binding for anaphors and R-expressions. (61 references) (Author/LB)
