- Title
Feature-exponence mapping in language contact.
- Authors
Alexiadou, Artemis
- Abstract
This article, titled "Feature-exponence mapping in language contact," discusses the relevance of models of grammar that distinguish between underlying syntactic features and their morpho-phonological representation in analyzing bilingual and multilingual data. The paper argues that feature reassembly, a framework developed in the 90s for studying second language acquisition, is unnecessary when using these models. The article also explores the relationship between complexity and embeddedness in feature bundles and the importance of scrutinizing the feature-exponence mapping using multilingual data. It concludes by discussing the implications of different morphological theories on the relationship between exponents and features. The article provides valuable insights into the study of language contact and its effects on grammar.
