Abstract

This article is about the unexpected linguistic behavior that young children sometimes display by producing structures that are only marginally present in the adult language in a constrained way, and that adults do not adopt in the same experimental conditions. It is argued here that children's capacity to overextend the use of given syntactic structures thereby resulting in a grammatical creative behavior is the sign of an internal grammatical pressure which manifests itself given appropriate discourse conditions and factors of grammatical complexity and which does not necessarily require a rich input to be put into work. This poverty of the stimulus type situation is illustrated here through the overextended use of a-Topics and reflexive-causative passives by young Italian speaking children when answering eliciting questions concerning the direct object of the clause.

Keywords: grammatical creativity, grammatical complexity, featural relativized minimality, a-Topic, passive

Introduction

Young children sometimes display an unexpected linguistic behavior: they produce structures that are at most only marginally present in the adult language. This holds both in the sense that the relevant constructions are rarely present in the language and in the sense that their occurrence is severely constrained, as descriptive work clearly indicates. Furthermore, children may react differently from adults to the very same experimental conditions, producing structures that are not “simpler” in any intuitive sense of the term. This type of children's linguistic behavior, which is in fact quite widespread in work on development, indicates that some internal pressure, partly due to factors of computational complexity as we will argue, leads children to be grammatically creative.
