Contents:

Frontmatter; Contents; Foreword; Child and adult language acquisition, linguistic theory and (microparametric) variation; Bootstrapping language acquisition from a minimalist standpoint: On the identification of?-features in Brazilian Portuguese; Clitic omission in the acquisition of European Portuguese: Data from comprehension; Speculations about the acquisition of wh-questions in Brazilian Portuguese; Aspect and the acquisition of null objects in Brazilian Portuguese; Acquisition of Brazilian Portuguese in late childhood: Implications for syntactic theory and language change.

Summary: This volume brings together chapters written by specialists in North America, Europe and Brazil. It includes original research about the acquisition (L1, bilingualism) and acquisition/ learning (L2 or L3) of dialects of Brazilian and European Portuguese. In an effort to maximize volume cohesion, the emphasis has been on contributions that present studies exploring both empirical/experimental and theoretical aspects of the acquisition of syntax, and its interfaces with morphology, with semantics/pragmatics, and with language change. Within the generative paradigm alone there are various volumes.
