This project sets out to contribute to the current understanding of the acquisition of unaccusativity - also referred to as split intransitivity - by investigating the linguistic production of simultaneous early and consecutive late dialect-Italian bilinguals. By exploring the role played by the input of different and in part conflicting grammars, I aim to ascertain the level of linguistic competence required to master unaccusativity and, ultimately, determine whether and how this is acquired. The novel approach of my study may well offer valuable insights into the intransitivity split itself.Research Questions Against this theoretical backdrop, my PhD project addresses the following questions:1. Does the simultaneous/consecutive attainment of divergent grammars affect the process of acquisition of unaccusative syntax? 2. To what degree does syntactico-semantic competence differ between early and late bilinguals? 3. Are there any classes of verbs whose syntax is mastered sooner than that of others in nonstandard bilingual acquisition?4. What insights does the study of the acquisition of split intransitivity offer with respect to the ASH?

该项目旨在通过调查同时早期和连续晚期方言-意大利双语者的语言生产，为当前对不及物性（也称为分裂不及物性）习得的理解做出贡献。通过探讨不同的和部分冲突的语法输入所发挥的作用，我的目标是确定掌握不可否认性所需的语言能力水平，并最终确定这是否以及如何获得。研究问题在此理论背景下，我的博士研究课题主要解决以下问题：1.不同语法的同时/相继习得是否会影响非限定性句法的习得过程？2.早期和晚期双语者的句法语义能力有多大的差异？3.在非标准双语习得中，是否有哪一类动词的句法掌握得比其他动词快？4.分裂不及物性习得的研究对ASH有什么启示？
