These principles constrain the range of interpretations that can be assigned to sentences containing reflexives and reciprocals, pronouns, and referring expressions. The principle that is relevant for pronouns, Principle B, has provided a fertile ground for the study of linguistic development. Although it has long been known that children make certain kinds of errors that appear to contradict this principle, further experimental and theoretical investigation reveals that the child does know the grammatical principle, but implements the pragmatic knowledge incorrectly. In fact, discoveries concerning children's knowledge of Principle B are among the most well-known in the study of language acquisition because of the dissociation between syntactic and pragmatic knowledge (binding versus reference). In this book the authors deepen and extend the results of years of developmental investigation of Principle B by studying the interaction of Principle B with verb phrase ellipsis and properties of the interpretation of empty pronouns in ellipsis -- properties of "strict" and "sloppy" interpretation. This is the first experimental study of these topics in the developmental literature. The striking results show that detailed predictions from the "pragmatic deficiency" theory seem to be correct. Many novel experimental results concern the question of how children interpret pronouns, including elided pronouns, and how they understand VP ellipsis. The authors present the necessary theoretical background on Principle B, review and critique previous accounts of childrens errors, and present a novel account of why children misinterpret pronouns. The book will thus be of interest not only to readers interested in the development of the binding theory, but to those interested in the development of interpretation and reference by children. 001385950 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385950 650_0 $$aLanguage acquisition. 001385950 650_0 $$aGrammar, Comparative and general$$xPronoun. 001385950 650_0 $$aGrammar, Comparative and general$$xSyntax. 001385950 650_0 $$aGovernment-binding theory (Linguistics) 001385950 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001385950 653__ $$aLINGUISTICS & LANGUAGE/Language Acquisition 001385950 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385950 7001_ $$aWexler, Kenneth. 001385950 852__ $$bebk 001385950 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/5550.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385950 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385950 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385950$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385950 980__ $$aBIB 001385950 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385950 982__ $$aEbook 001385950 983__ $$aOnline
