The aim of this research was to evaluate the distribution of DPs in generic sentences, in Dutch Heritage Language Speakers (HLS) in Holambra, Brazil, especially regarding the acceptability of Bare Singular Count Nouns (BS). The Distribution of BS is more restricted in Dutch than in Brazilian Portuguese, nonetheless, we raised the hypothesis that, due to the influence of Brazilian Portuguese, these HLS would accept BS in contexts similar to those of Brazilians. We applied an acceptability judgement test to 60 adult HLS from Holambra (experimental group), 30 Brazilian monolinguals and 30 native Dutch speakers (control groups 1 and 2). We presented to each participant in the experimental group 10 Dutch stimulus sentences and 20 filler sentences in order to verify their acceptability on a five-item Likert scale. The results showed that sentences with BS eliciting a generic reading received high acceptability rates from the Experimental Group of Holambra (72% acceptability rate). These responses were more aligned with the Brazilian Control (78% acceptability rate) than with the Dutch Control (96% unacceptability rate). The statistical Regression Analysis of the BS showed that the Dutch Control had a significant divergent behavior (p.value = <2-16) when compared to the Experimental Group. The results seem thus to support our hypothesis that a slightly different grammar has risen in the Dutch HLS of Holambra, suffering attrition due to the influence of Brazilian Portuguese, since they accept Bare Singulars, showing no significant difference with the Brazilian Control Group. We will follow Oosterhof’s proposal (2008) on the distribution of empty determiners in Dutch and assume that the grammar of the Holambra speakers possesses a bundle of features allowing a 0[+R, +count, –pl] combination: That is, a singular count noun DP with an empty determiner, rendering a generic reading. Keywords: language acquisition; heritage languages; bare singular count nouns; Dutch; Brazilian Portuguese. Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a distribuicao de DPs em sentencas genericas em falantes de neerlandes como lingua de heranca em Holambra, Brasil, especialmente em relacao a aceitabilidade de nomes singulares nus (NNs). A distribuicao de NNs e mais restrita em neerlandes do que no Portugues Brasileiro (PB), no entanto, levantamos a hipotese de que, devido a influencia do PB os falantes de Holambra poderiam aceitar NNs em contextos semelhantes aos dos brasileiros. Aplicamos um teste de aceitabilidade em 60 HLS adultos de Holambra (grupo experimental), 30 monolingues brasileiros e 30 falantes nativos de holandes (grupos de controle 1 e 2). Apresentamos a cada participante do grupo experimental 10 sentencas em neerlandes e 20 distratores, a fim de verificar sua aceitabilidade em uma escala Likert de cinco itens. Os resultados mostraram que sentencas genericas com NNs receberam alta aceitacao do Grupo Experimental de Holambra (72% de aceitabilidade). Essas respostas estao mais alinhadas com o Controle Brasileiro (78% de aceitabilidade) do que com o Controle Holandes (96% de inaceitabilidade). A analise de regressao estatistica dos NNs mostrou que o Controle Holandes apresentou comportamento significativamente divergente (p. valor=<2-16) quando comparado com o Grupo Experimental. Os resultados parecem corroborar nossa hipotese de que uma gramatica ligeiramente diferente surgiu nos falantes de holandes de Holambra, sofrendo atrito devido a influencia do PB, uma vez que aceitam NNs, nao mostrando diferenca significativa com o Grupo de Controle Brasileiro. Seguiremos a proposta de Oosterhof (2008) sobre a distribuicao de determinantes vazios em holandes, e propor que a gramatica dos falantes de Holambra possui um conjunto de tracos permitindo a combinacao 0 [+ R, + count, -pl]: isto e, um nome nu singular contavel com uma leitura generica. Palavras-chave: aquisicao de linguagem; linguas de heranca; nomes singulares nus; neerlandes; portugues brasileiro.
