Recursion across Domains -

. .

Résumé :
Explores two important phenomena in natural language - recursion and embedding - integrating current linguistic theory, cross-linguistic fieldwork, and specific acquisition and experimental techniques

Sommaire:
Introduction: a map of the theoretical and empirical issues Luiz Amaral, Marcus Maia, Andrew Nevins and Tom Roeper; Part I. Speech Reports, Theory of Mind and Evidentials: 1. False speech reports in Pirah?: a comprehension experiment Uli Sauerland; 2. Indirect recursion: the importance of second-order embedding and its implications for cross-linguistic research Bart Hollebrandse; 3. Recursion in language and the development of higher order cognitive functions: an investigation with children acquiring Brazilian Portuguese Let?cia M. S. Corr?a, Marina R. A. Augusto, Mercedes Marcilese and Clara Villarinho; 4. Embedding as a building block of evidential categories in Kotiria Kristine Stenzel; 5. Embedded imperatives in Mby? Guillaume Thomas; Part II. Recursion along the Clausal Spine: 6. Word order in control: evidence for self-embedding in Pirah? Cilene Rodrigues, Raiane Salles and Filomena Sandalo; 7. Switch-reference is licensed by both kinds of coordination: novel K?s?dj? data Rafael Nonato; 8. Clausal recursion, predicate raising and head-finality in Teneteh?ra F?bio Bonfim Duarte; 9.
