- W2761139826 abstract "An overlooked aspect of word order processing studies in Spanish (e.g., Glisan, 1985; LoCoco, 1987; VanPatten, 1984) concerns its relationship with object marking, often termed the “personal a” rule. This is not to say that object marking is not mentioned in these studies. It is discussed, assumptions are made about its perceived relevance in attenuating the attachment of agent/subject to the first noun, and then other linguistic and extralinguistic factors take the forefront in the investigation. The purpose of the present investigation is to explore object marking and discuss its relevance to both processing studies in Spanish and in other languages. Cross-linguistically, word order processing plays a more prominent role in acquisition than direct object marking. The reason is simple: it has been shown that despite differences or similarities in the syntax of the L1 and the L2, learners attach agentive status to the first noun. Thus, the acquisition of word order affects all languages, while object marking only affects a smaller subset of the world’s languages. For example, even though passive constructions are found in English, English learners of French will attach agentive status to the first noun of a passive construction (Ervin-Tripp, 1974). In Marie est admire par Pierre ‘Marie is admired by Pierre’, learners perceive ‘Marie admires/admired Pierre’, turning the patient, Marie, into the agent. In neither of these languages does object marking play a role. Thus, an understanding of object marking is not necessary, cross-linguistically speaking, to study the acquisition of word order. Even so, it has been assumed that direct object marking in Spanish should influence, or attenuate, the attachment of agentive status to the first noun. To understand this better, a brief description of direct object marking is necessary. Some direct objects in Spanish are marked with the accusative marker a (that can also act as a preposition in other constructions). In the sentence, Juan vio a Maria ‘John saw Mary’, the particle a serves to mark that Maria is the direct object. While SVO structure is found regularly in Spanish, other syntactic options are available. In an OVS construction, A Maria la vio Juan, the particle a moves to the initial position with Maria (and the doubled direct object clitic la ‘her’ is also included), but the meaning remains the same: ‘John saw Mary’. This type of OVS construction has been used as stimuli in a number of studies. For example, VanPatten (1984) makes mention of the fact that the addition of the object marker a in two of the examples does not help the learners attenuate the use of what he later calls the First Noun Principle (VanPatten, 1996, 2004). In the last decade, a number of studies have shown that the acquisition of direct object marking is difficult in its own right (Guijarro-Fuentes & Marinis, 2007, 2009; Montrul, 2004) and lend support to VanPatten’s (1984) explanation that learners cannot recall the rule quickly enough during this online aural task. This explanation seems reasonable, but the current study shows that there is more to the “personal a” rule than previously understood." @default.
