Interlanguage A-Bar Dependencies: Binding Construals, Null Prepositions and Universal Grammar.
Dekydtspotter, Laurent; Sprouse, Rex A.; Anderson, Bruce
Second Language Research, v14 n4 p241-58 1998
Argues that the null preposition phenomenon is a special case of reliance on the A-bar binding strategy, examining research on English-French interlanguage in college classrooms and suggesting that apparent categorical mismatches in A-bar chains may result from preposition incorporation. Second-language learners can appeal to the A-bar binding strategy when native language and target language grammars require movement. (SM)
