Dave Kush (Faculty) and colleagues have published a new article in Glossa! This new article describes a corpus study that examines youth-directed reading materials to assess what direct evidence Norwegian children receive for filler-gap dependencies in island structures. Kush, Sant and Strætvern consider how different learning models would fare on the acquisition of target generalizations and speculate on how the observed description of filler-gap dependencies reflect the interaction of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic conditions!
