本研究从多个维度考察了海地标准克里奥语中代词主谓依存关系的习得。语料库分析证实，HC主语代词是目标语语法中的音位偏斜现象，其消减是可选的和不可预测的。考察了20名以HC为第一语言的学龄前儿童对主语代词依存性的理解和产生情况。第三人称单数主语和复数主语代词1(I)Andy(O)的产生揭示了成人早期对其语音还原的限制，而l(I)对单数主语和y(O)对动词复数主语在句法依存性中的系统分配在产生和理解方面都是较晚的。在少数几个句法语境中，学习HC的儿童表现出理解的证据，这涉及完整的形式，而不是音素减少。解释这些发现的可能因素包括其形式的相对不可预测性和HC代词的语言地位。
The present multidimensional study investigates the acquisition of pronominal subject-verb dependencies in Standard Haitian Creole (HC). A corpus analysis confirms that HC subject pronouns are phonological clitics in the target grammar and that their reduction is optional and unpredictable. The comprehension and production of dependencies involving these subject pronouns in 20 preschoolers acquiring HC as their first language were investigated. While the production of third person singular and plural subject pronounsl(i)andy(o)reveals early mastery of adult constraints on their phonological reductions, the systematic assignments ofl(i)to singular subjects vs.y(o)to plural subjects of the verb in the syntactic dependency emerge later, in both production and comprehension. The few syntactic contexts in which HC-learning children show evidence of comprehension involve full forms, rather than phonological reductions. Possible factors that explain these findings include the relative unpredictability of their forms and the linguistic status of HC pronouns.
