Equal Treatment for All Antecedents: How Children Succeed with Principle B (2009, background): “First, although the QA has become a part of the received wisdom about language acquisition (e.g., Guasti 2004), the empirical record is not unequivocal (for reviews, see Kaufman 1994, Koster 1994, Elbourne 2005).”
Clitic omission, null objects or both in the acquisition of European Portuguese? (2007, background): “For several languages, it has been shown that children make no mistakes in clitic placement (see Guasti (2002) for a review).”
Anaphora resolution in near-native speakers of Italian (2006, background): “No overuse of null subjects is reported in the non-null subject language, even at the earliest stages when the null subject language may be expected to reinforce the well-attested tendency of children acquiring a non-null subject language to go through a stage of subject omission (for a summary, see”
Discourse conditions on subject pronoun realization: Testing the linguistic intuitions of older bilingual children (2009, background): “It is a well-established fact that young monolingual children generally omit more subject arguments than adults in both pro-drop and non-pro-drop languages (see Guasti, 2002 for a review).”
Why children and adults sometimes (but not always) compute implicatures (2005, background): “Children either attempt to figure out contexts that make the statement sensible or they assume that the meaning some and perhaps all is intended, because they find it awkward that the experimenter reports statements that are trivially false (see Guasti, 2002, chapter 10 for a discussion of infelicit”
Differential effects of internal and external factors on the development of vocabulary, tense morphology and morpho-syntax in successive bilingual children (2011, background): “These profile effects and differences between vocabulary acquisition and morpho-syntax also raise theoretical questions regarding domain-specific (Guasti, 2002) vs. domaingeneral accounts of language acquisition (Marchman, 1997; see also Paradis, this volume).”
Growth Models of Developmental Language Disorders (2004, unknown): “" Wexler and others recognized that the uninflected verbal forms of English were the English variants of infinitives in other early child grammars, thereby unifying the observations across languages and relating the child grammars to the end-state adult grammar (cf. Guasti, 2002).”
Current Issues in Heritage Language Acquisition (2010, background): “…read in the acquisition literature that by the age of 3–4, normally developing children have acquired the basic structural system of their language (Guasti, 2002; O’Grady, 1997); a great deal of vocabulary learning; and the acquisition of complex syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, as well as…”
