| | Grammatical person - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many Malayo-Polynesian languages, such as Javanese and Balinese are well known for their complex systems of honorifics; Japanese and Korean also have similar systems to a lesser extent. | | | The grammar of some languages divide the semantic space into more than three persons. | | | Some languages, especially European, distinguish degrees of formality and informality (see T-V distinction). |

| | In the Jelinek and Demers account, 1st person is simply kept off the hierarchy, but we cannot make the analogous move here, which would be to absent the constraint *Oj/1 from the grammar of Squamish. | | | In some grammars, however, relational constraints on fir st and second person are different, as are person constraints on direct object and passive agent. | | | I assume that candidates are alw ays faithful to the input in semantic role.) Discourse prominence plays no role in determining grammatical function in this evaluation so it is omitted from the input. |

| | Segmentation and beyond: strategies for productivity in language development |
| | Infants' grammatical knowledge is often assumed to develop only after their vocabulary level is large enough for words to be categorized. | | | Although these two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive, they should both be tested in terms of their implications for languages other than English, the language on which they were first developed and which, in terms of both its stress and word order patterns, appears to fit both hypotheses with at least initial plausibility. | | | In order to reach this stage, there must be analysis of the input language on the part of the child. |

| | Irmen: How do grammatical and stereotypical gender influence the representation of person information? |
| | In the present study the eyetracking methodology was used to investigate reference resolution in cases of matching and mismatching grammatical and stereotypical gender. | | | A reference's mismatch in terms of stereotypical gender leads to longer fixation and reading times which are interpreted as the result of the process of updating the current discourse model or scenario. | | | However, the results of several studies indicate that grammatical gender provides natural gender information for mental representations of person information. |

| | Contrary to the predictions of the Null Subject Parameter hypothesis, these grammars have subject pronoun paradigms that are not only "partial" (some but not all grammatical persons are regularly used) but also variable, conditioned by a number of linguistic factors. | | | Preliminary GoldVarb results indicate that linguistic factors such as grammatical person, type of subject, type and position of clause, presence of object pronouns and negation all have significant conditioning effects on Faetar subject pronoun usage, as they do in other Gallo-Italo-Romance varieties (Heap 1997). | | | Contrary to Marzys (1981), the effects of these factors are variable, rather than categorical: grammatical person as a category is a significant factor in both Faetar and the other Franco-Provençal varieties, but the relative effect of each grammatical person varies somewhat between geolects. |
