espanolLa omision de objetos es una propiedad gramatical muy frecuente en chino, mientras que en ingles y en espanol su uso esta mas restringido. En este trabajo analizamos la omision de los objetos que producen en ingles los siguientes grupos: ninos bilingues chino-ingles, espanol-ingles y mononolingues ingles. Evaluamos hasta que punto el mecanismo del objeto nulo en chino influye en el desarrollo del ingles de ninos bilingues chino-ingles. Para ello, ofrecemos un estudio comparativo doble: por un lado, entre la produccion de los ninos bilingues chino-ingles y la de los mononolingues ingles, con el fin de determinar si la omision de objetos caracteriza la adquisicion lanio de la gramatica monolingue como de la bilingue; y, por otro lado, entre dicha produccion de los ninos bilingues chino-ingles y la de los ninos bilingues espanol-ingles, para establecer si las gramaticas bilingues son paralelas en su desarrollo. Los resultados demuestran que existe una diferencia significativa entre la produccion y el desarrollo gramatical de los bilingues chino-ingles y los de los otros dos grupos con respecto al uso de objetos, lo cual respalda la conclusion de que, aunque el mecanismo de objeto nulo es una propiedad de las gramaticas en desarrollo, en el caso del ingles de ninos bilingues chino-ingles, se produce una interferencia negativa del chino en el ingles que se manifiesta en un mayor uso de objetos nulos en ingles y hasta etapas posteriores. EnglishWhile null objects are possible and pervasive in Chinese, their occurrence in languages like English and Spanish is rather restricted. In the case of developing grammars, the omission of categories that characterizes the initial stages of acquisition also affects the object category, together with inflection, subjects, determiners, etc. The main goal of this article is to investigate the nature of interlinguistic influence from Chinese into English in a set of Chinese-English (C-E) bilingual children with a focus on bilingual children’s early direct object (DO) realization in English and to provide new empirical evidence for the postulation that the development of the two languages is interdependent. In order to do so, a comparative study has been carried out: the English production of C-E bilinguals is analysed with regard to DOs and, in order to determine whether the possible overproduction of null DOs is due to influence from the other first language (L 1) (i.e. Chinese) or is rather part of the developmental process, a double comparison is established with English monolinguals (E monolinguals) and with Spanish-English bilinguals (S- E bilinguals). The results show that C-E bilinguals’ performance in terms of DO realization in English is significantly different from that of both E monolinguals and S-E bilinguals and that the latter two groups behave similarly. This finding supports the conclusion that, although null DOs occur in the initial stages of child language acquisition regardless of whether the adult grammar allows them (Chinese) or not (English and Spanish), in the case of C-E bilinguals’ English development, interlinguistic influence from Chinese into English has a negative effect as reflected in null DOs being produced at a higher rate and until later in life.
