Internal and external interfaces in bilingual language development: Beyond structural overlap (2009, background): “The use of the appropriate anaphor will require the evaluation of the discourse pragmatic status of the antecedent and the suppression of the competing anaphor, a costly operation that might not always result in the optimal choice, especially when ambiguity is not at stake (Carminati, 2002, 2005).”
Understanding heritage languages (2019, background): “…limited to null-subject languages such as Spanish or Italian.8 The overall conclusion is that monolinguals preferentially link null pronouns to antecedents in the subject position, and overt pronouns to antecedents in lower structural positions (Carminati, 2002, 2005; Keating et al., 2011, 2016).”
Anaphora resolution in near-native speakers of Italian (2006, background): “5The following and many other examples in this section are taken from Carminati (2002).”
Is the heritage language like a second language (2012, background): “…as in (1a) and (1b) with two potential antecedents, the subject of the adverbial clause refers to subject of the main clause when null, and to the object or another antecedent in discourse when it is overt, which is the preference of native speakers (see also Carminati, 2002, for Italian).”
Cross-linguistic influence in the interpretation of anaphoric and cataphoric pronouns in English–Italian bilingual children (2007, background): “(object antecedent bias) Even in the absence of a pragmatic bias towards the subject or the object antecedent as in example (3), Carminati (2002) reports that in a questionnaire study adult Italian speakers selected the subject antecedent 81% of the time when the pronoun in the subordinate clause…”
Coreference and discourse coherence in L2: The roles of grammatical aspect and referential form (2017, background): “In languages that have both null and overt pronouns, different forms may be associated with different referential preferences (e.g., previous subject vs non-subject; see Carminati, 2002, for Italian).”
Gender bias and stereotypes in Large Language Models (2023, background): “In the general case, however, a subject-preference has been documented in the linguistic literature [4, 20, 21, 28, 30, 33, 42, 77], and therefore an explanation that states that the subject noun is the more likely antecedent could be considered consistent with the facts.”
Discourse conditions on subject pronoun realization: Testing the linguistic intuitions of older bilingual children (2009, background): “…group may signal that the scope of the overt pronoun in Spanish is actually wider than in Italian (a type of micro-variation mentioned in Carminati, 2002) and that Spanish-Italian bilinguals, all of who were tested in Spain, become increasingly sensitive to the Spanish distribution of…”
The Non-Subject Bias of German Demonstrative Pronouns (2007, background): “Our results seem to confirm the results from Dutch and Finnish reported by Kaiser & Trueswell (2004; in press), and the analogous results reported for Italian by Carminati (2002)(1).”
Bilingual children's sensitivity to specificity and genericity: Evidence from metalinguistic awareness* (2009, result): “See Carminati (2002, 2005) for a study of these tendencies in the processing of pronominal subjects by native Italian speakers. likely to narrow over time, so that older bilingual children behave more like their monolingual peers than do younger bilinguals, as we have observed in other research…”
ONLINE PRONOUN RESOLUTION IN L2 DISCOURSE: L1 Influence and General Learner Effects (2008, background): “…subjects suggests that they show more flexibility in their interpretation of overt pronouns in comparison to null pronouns ~ e + g +, Alonso-Ovalle , Fernández-Solera , Frazier , & Clifton , 2002 ; Carminati , 2002 , 2005 ; see also the native Romanian speakers in Diaconescu & Goodluck , 2004 !”
Pinning down the concept of “interface” in bilingualism (2011, background): “Carminati (2002, 2005) for Italian (and later Alonso-Ovalle, Clifton, Frazier and Férnandez-Solera, 2005 for Spanish) proposes the Position of Antecedent Strategy (PAS) as a processing constraint on anaphora resolution.”
