“…The DP Hypothesis is the conjecture that the head of the nominal phrase is not N; instead, the NP projection is dominated by one (or more) functional heads that actually head the phrase, one of which is D (Determiner). Early suggestions of this hypothesis include Jackendoff (1972); Hogg (1977); Brame (1981;1982); Szabolcsi (1983); among early proponents of this theory are Hudson (1984); Fukui (1986); Fukui & Speas (1986); Hellan (1986); Abney (1987); Horrocks & Stavrou (1987); Szabolcsi (1987); Löbel (1989), and Olsen (1989).…”

It is common to hypothesize that in classifier and non-classifier languages alike the various functional heads (determiner/demonstrative, numeral, classifier) each head their own projection, so that the maximal projection of the nominal phrase is not NP but something like DP. We evaluate the predictions this makes regarding selection and verb-object idioms in English, a nonclassifier language, and in Korean and Vietnamese, two classifier languages. These predictions are not upheld, and nominals act very differently from clauses and PPs, which are headed by functional heads. Selection and idioms show that the maximal projection of the nominal must be a projection of the lexical N itself, not a functional element. We develop such an analysis of nominals, and show how it accounts for data that was taken to motivate the DP Hypothesis.

“…Além disso, a autora apresenta uma outra inovação ao discutir em que núcleo do DP o traço de número seria interpretável. Baseada nas análises de Abney (1987), Olsen (1989) e Longobardi (1994), Magalhães (2004) afirma que há evidências de que o traço de número seja interpretável nos Determinantes, diferente do que prevê a hipótese chomskiana. Assim, partindo da estrutura do DP proposta por Abney (1987), a autora teoriza que D tenha traço interpretável de número e não-interpretável de gênero; os demais elementos do sintagma teriam todos os traços não-interpretáveis.…”

This paper aims at investigating the acquisition of number agreement within DP by a child acquiring Brazilian Portuguese, under the assumptions of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky, 1998; 1999). In the analysis of the child's speech production, I highlight the most frequent patterns of number agreement and plural marking, and discuss three hypotheses (Carstens, 2000; Lopes, 2004; Magalhães, 2004) to find the one which explains the variation within the child's own speech and also between child and adult registers; such hypothesis should also be able to predict how the infant's number agreement patterns will evolve into the adult system. The proposal by Carstens (2000) is the only one which supports the patterns found in the data under analysis, especially the variation between the adult patterns of agreement and plural marking vs. the occurrence, in child language, of plural marking morpheme (-s) only on nouns, which is ungrammatical in adult registers.

“…Segundo Olsen (1989), em Alemão Moderno, os nomes são flexionalmente empobrecidos. Eles apresentam distinção flexional entre singular e plural, mas não manifestam finais flexionais visíveis nem para gênero, nem para Caso.…”

“…Baseando-se na proposta de Abney (1987), Olsen (1989) propõe que em alemão a categoria funcional DET também possui um AGR com valores explícitos para os traços-φ do DP. Esses traços são expressos na forma de um afixo fonológico (representado pelas letras maiúsculas em 13) quando AGR é especificado como terceira pessoa, porque somente os pronomes pessoais são especificados para 1 a .…”

This paper argues in favor of a concord features valuing within the DP in terms of the Agree operation (Chomsky, 1999), with no recourse to any other mechanism. I show that Agree accounts for feature valuing both in the sentence level as well as in the DP, contrary to Chomskys (1999) suggestion that concord in DP should involve some other checking mechanism. KEY-WORDS: Valuing; Feature matching; Concord; Probe; Goal; Interpretable features; Uninterpretable features. RESUMO:Este trabalho argumenta em favor da valoração dos traços de concordância dentro do DP em termos da operação Agree (Chomsky, 1999) sem a necessidade de estipular nenhum outro mecanismo para tanto. Mostro que Agree dá conta da valoração de traços tanto no nível da sentença quanto no nível do DP, contra a sugestão de Chomsky (1999) de que concordância no DP envolveria algum outro mecanismo de checagem.
