This study focuses on the acquisition of relativization strategies in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), based on corpora investigated by Lessa-de-Oliveira (2008). Assuming Hornstein’s (2007) Economy notion to movement, I propose that the standard relativization strategy is acquired before the non-standard strategy in the case of the non-prepositional relatives because it relies on the more economical option. Moreover, using Roeper’s (2003) Economy notion and Kato’s (1993) and Kato and Nunes’s (2009) proposal to structures of non-standard relatives in BP, I argue that the difficulty in the acquisition of pied-piping relatives is due to the inherent complexity of the pied-piping operation.KEYWORD: Language Acquisition..
