    • Aspect processing across languages: A visual world eye-tracking study 

      Minor, Sergey; Mitrofanova, Natalia; Guajardo, Gustavo; Vos, Myrte Titia; Ramchand, Gillian C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-10)
      The study employed a combination of a picture selection task and Visual World eye-tracking to investigate the processing of grammatical aspect (perfective vs. imperfective) in three languages: Russian, Spanish and English. In order to probe into the cognitive representations triggered by the aspectual forms we contrasted visual representations of dierent temporal portions of telic events—a ...

    • Lexical and morphosyntactic variation in Persian heritage language outcomes 

      Bayram, Fatih; Gharibi, Khadijeh; Guajardo, Gustavo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-10)
      Individual variation in heritage language (HL) outcomes does not seem to be random. Instead, this variation can be related to the specific exposure and use patterns heritage speakers (HSs) have with their languages in the contexts they reside. In this study, we present data from 38 child HSs of Persian in English dominant contexts (in New Zealand and the UK), their mothers as well as a control group ...

    • A Probabilistic and Syntactic Account of Variable Clitic Agreement in Spanish Double Object Constructions 

      Guajardo, Gustavo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-12)
      In Spanish clitic-doubling constructions, the clitic should agree in number with its coreferential doubled noun phrase. However, the present corpus analysis with data from 21 Spanish varieties reveals that, under certain structural configurations, number agreement is not always realized on the third-person dative clitic. In fact, the data shows that non-agreement appears to be the norm when the ...

    • Temporal Information and Event Bounding Across Languages: Evidence from Visual World EyeTracking 

      Minor, Sergey; Mitrofanova, Natalia; Guajardo, Gustavo; Vos, Myrte Titia; Ramchand, Gillian C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06)
      We explore the typological question of what the interpretation of grammatical perfectivity is, and how it connects to the related aktionsartal notion of boundedness/telicity on the one hand, and the tense category Past on the other. We report on a comparative experimental paradigm of past tense accomplishment sentences in Russian, Spanish and English respectively, in which we use an online ...

    • The Transitivity Index: Using Transitivity as a Continuous Measure to Account for Clitic Case Alternation in Spanish Causative Constructions. 

      Guajardo, Gustavo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-25)
      In Spanish causative constructions with dejar ‘let’ and hacer ‘make’ the subject of the embedded infinitive verb can appear in the accusative or the dative case. This case alternation has been accounted for by resorting to the notion of direct vs. indirect causation. Under this account, the accusative clitic with a transitive verb denotes direct causation while the dative clitic with an intransitive ...

    • Transitivity on a continuum: The transitivity index as a predictor of Spanish causatives 

      Guajardo, Gustavo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-27)
      This paper contributes to the study of transitivity as a general property of the clause. Unlike most previous work on the subject, however, transitivity in the present article is used to study a lexical alternation, namely the two causative predicates dejar ‘let’ and hacer ‘make’ in Spanish. To do this, I use the transitivity index (TI), a weighted continuous measure of transitivity based on Hopper ...
