The representation of clitics in the lexicons of English-speaking learners of French
Abstract
dc:description"This thesis is about a study of the properties of French clitics as they are represented in the lexicons of English-speaking students of French. The study involved 198 adult learners of French at a small, private American university. Subjects were drawn from intact groups of students enrolled in first, second, third and fourth semester French. The objective was to find out if patterns of errors in grammaticality judgments can be explained by (i) a single variable like ""general language proficiency,"" or (ii) some number of group factors corresponding to ""first language dependent"" or ""first language independent"" principles, or even if such errors are ""idiosyncratic."""
