Descripción
We report the results of a study investigating the production of gender and number agreement between head noun and predicative adjective in Spanish using an elicited-error paradigm with preambles that included either Control or Raising verbs. In order to identify if the subjects of the infinitivals selected by these two verb types are syntactically identical (Movement Theory of Control) or distinct (Theory of Control by PRO or anaphora), the following features in the preambles were manipulated: gender of head noun (Feminine–Masculine), gender and number (Singular–Plural) of local noun, and type of verb (Control–Raising). We analyzed the agreement errors and omissions patterns, as well as response times in the production of the target adjective. The error rate was not different across the two syntactic conditions, but the two verb classes were associated with significantly different number of target omissions. Furthermore, omissions in the Control condition were specifically associated with feminine agreeing adjectives. This pattern was also reflected in the adjective production latency. Taken together, these results undermine the Control by Movement explanation and argue for a Control by PRO analysis of Control constructions.
