TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that subject clitics are the target of markedness constraints that trigger repair operations leading to either syncretism or the removal of forms from a paradigm.
Abstract: The inventories of subject clitics in northern Italian varieties are affected by widespread morphological changes. One of these changes is syncretism. In addition, many dialects display defective paradigms where some of the clitics are missing. The clitics that undergo syncretism and the clitics that are missing tend to be the same: the first person singular and plural, the second plural, and, less frequently, the third plural. Working in the framework of Distributed Morphology, I argue that these clitics are the target of markedness constraints that trigger repair operations leading to either syncretism or the removal of forms from a paradigm. In particular, I propose two such operations: one is feature deletion, which deletes a marked feature specification. This operation is always followed by feature insertion, which inserts the opposite value of the deleted feature specification (this operation leads to syncretism). The other one is obliteration, which deletes a morphosyntactic node and leads to underspecified morphosyntactic representations (this operation leads to paradigmatic gaps). I investigate how these operations affect the morphological exponents in PF, creating syncretisms and gaps in exponence.

TL;DR: In this article, anormalidade mental de seu filho, na primeira infância, is discussed, and analisa a rico material empirico, baseado em historias de vida de familias com filhos excepcionais, of uma pesquisa desenvolvida no municipio do Rio de Janeiro.
Abstract: O artigo procura refletir sobre o impacto do nascimento social de uma crianca "anormal" na familia. Propoe uma grade conceitual, abstraida da antropologia e da filosofia da linguagem, que permita articular sujeito e contexto social. Analisa um rico material empirico, baseado em historias de vida de familias com filhos excepcionais, de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no municipio do Rio de Janeiro. Faz uma descricao densa das etapas iniciais, pelas quais a familia passa, quando descobre a anormalidade mental de seu filho, na primeira infância. Este enfoque valoriza a capacidade das familias de comunicarem sua experiencia de enfrentamento da anormalidade, como aprendizado, luta e sabedoria de vida. As conclusoes revelam que o momento do diagnostico e delicadissimo, pois transforma o ser da crianca e inaugura um novo pai e uma nova mae. As reacoes a dor serao inevitaveis. Um acolhimento e uma orientacao clara sao fundamentais. A rotina familiar se altera. Uma etica da responsabilidade e do sacrificio se impoe pelos cuidados ao filho. A familia precisa desenvolver um novo estoque de conhecimento. O apoio familiar e crucial, para que a familia tenha condicoes de fazer face ao desespero, a confusao, a desorientacao. O combate mais dificil e contra a discriminacao social porque traz, como consequencia, uma dor que fere por dentro e por fora.

TL;DR: The authors proposed a hypothesis on the syntactic f unction of formal gender and grammatical number and assessed the relation between these two syntactic features by showing that grammatical numbers can only be expressed in categories that are assigned a formal gender in the Romance languages.
Abstract: This study proposes a hypothesis on the syntactic f unction of formal gender and grammatical number and assesses the relation between these two syntactic features by showing that grammatical number can only be expressed in categories that are assigned a formal gender in the Romance languages. It is cla imed that gender and number are the uninterpretable correlates of corresponding interpr etable abstract features in functional projections of nominal structures. The relation be tween the interpretable functional features and their non interpretable counterparts i n the lexical category is that of
