Resumo: The asymmetry between subject and object relative clauses has been attested in processing studies with adults (WANNER; MARATSOS, 1978; WARREN; GIBSON, 2002) and children (UTZERI, 2007; ADANI; SEHM; ZUKOWSKI, 2012). From the perspective of language acquisition, Friedmann, Belletti and Rizzi (2009) have suggested a formal treatment for this asymmetry in terms of intervention, and Costa et al. (2015) have expanded the proposal to PP relatives, considering data from European Portuguese. This study broadens that discussion by means of an elicitation experiment with  4 and 5-year-old children, speakers of Brazilian Portuguese. We contrast PP relatives with unergative verbs, showing intervention, and weather verbs, without intervention. Statistically significant differences between the types of verbs were obtained for younger children. We suggest that processing costs related to the availability of alternative less complex structures in the language is a major factor to be considered. This factor may impact the explanatory power of the intervention hypothesis.

En el ámbito de la adquisición, Friedmann, Belletti y Rizzi (2009) sugirieron un tratamiento formal, mediante la noción de efectos de intervención, y Costa et al. (2015) ampliaron el alcance de esa propuesta para relativas PP. En este trabajo se extiende esta discusión, a partir de un estudio de elicitación con niños de 4-5 años, hablantes de portugués de Brasil, en que se contrastan relativas PP con verbos inergativos - con intervención y verbos meterológicos, sin intervención. Nuestros resultados indican que hay diferencias entre esos tipos de verbos para niños más pequeños. Se sugiere que el alcance explicativo de la hipótesis de la intervención puede ser impactado si se consideran costos de procesamiento en la producción vinculados a la disponibilidad de estructuras alternativas, menos complejas, en la lengua.A assimetria entre relativas de sujeito e de objeto tem sido atestada nos trabalhos sobre processamento com adultos (WANNER; MARATSOS, 1978; WARREN; GIBSON, 2002) e em aquisição da linguagem (UTZERI, 2007; ADANI; SEHM; ZUKOWSKI, 2012). No âmbito da aquisição, Friedmann, Belletti e Rizzi (2009) sugeriram um tratamento formal, em termos de efeitos de intervenção e Costa et al. (2015) expandiram o alcance da proposta para relativas PP, considerando dados do português europeu. Este trabalho amplia essa discussão, a partir de um estudo de eliciação com crianças de 4-5 anos falantes de português brasileiro, contrastando relativas PP, com verbos inergativos, com intervenção, e meteorológicos, sem intervenção. Nossos resultados indicam diferenças entre esses tipos de verbos para crianças mais novas. Sugere-se que o alcance explicativo da hipótese da intervenção pode ser impactado ao se considerarem custos de processamento na produção vinculados à disponibilidade de estruturas alternativas, menos complexas, na língua.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística - UFSC2019-04-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionmetodologia experimental psicolinguísticaavaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/1984-8412.2019v16n1p349910.5007/1984-8412.2019v16n1p3499Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 16 No. 1 (2019): Pesquisas em Linguística Formal; 3499-3512Fórum Linguístico; Vol. 16 Núm. 1 (2019): Pesquisas em Linguística Formal; 3499-3512Fórum Linguístico; v. 16 n. 1 (2019): Pesquisas em Linguística Formal; 3499-35121984-84121415-8698reponame:Fórum Linguísticoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/forum/article/view/1984-8412.2019v16n1p3499/39206Copyright (c) 2019 Fórum Linguísticoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAugusto, Marina R.
