Bibliographic Details
Summary:This paper aims to compare the strategies of PP-fronting in Santomean Portuguese (STP) and European Portuguese (EP) in different syntactic constructions, namely relative clauses, questions, clefts and pseudoclefts, from the perspective of the Derivational Complexity Hypothesis (Jakubowicz, 2004, 2005; Soares 2006). Specifically, we will discuss to what extent the derivational complexity metric proposed can explain the occurrence of pied-piping and chopping in those constructions. We will further analyze the role of (di)transitivization tendency in STP as well as the dichotomy oral-written discourse in both varieties. Data from oral corpus as well as an elicitation task will be considered.
