摘要复制、转移和计算过程是否影响说话人对变量的心理组织？在长期语言接触的情况下，跨语言约束等级的比较是否可以为特征的转移提供证据（或反对）？这篇文章对这两个问题都提出了肯定的回答。它进行了比较的约束排名的空科目和空对象的语料库Bislama和语料库的Tamambo的叙述，以证明这种方法的潜力和局限性。它的结论是，这些方法：（i）允许我们具体化我们的复制，转移和calquing固有可变域的定义，（ii）加强变分主义社会语言学和克里奥尔语学和语言接触领域之间的联系。
Abstract Do the processes of replication, transfer, and calquing operate on speakers' mental organization of variables? Can the comparison of constraint rankings across languages provide evidence for (or against) the transfer of features in cases of long-term language contact? This article suggests yes to both questions. It undertakes a comparison of constraint rankings on null subjects and null objects in a corpus of Bislama and a corpus of Tamambo narratives to demonstrate the potential and limitations of such methods. It concludes that these methods: (i) allow us to particularize our definitions of replication, transfer, and calquing to inherently variable domains, and (ii) strengthen connections between variationist sociolinguistics and the fields of creolistics and language contact.
