“…This preference suggests possible influence from cognitive and language universals. Event quantification is pervasive in human cognition, and cross-linguistically, A-quantification is more fundamental than D-quantification (Bach et al, 1995;Vieira, 1995). On the other hand, English-acquiring children do not show the same strong developmental discontinuity of A-before D-quantification as Chinese-speaking children, likely due to the influence of different adult inputs given by typological differences.…”

“…In A-quantification, the A-quantifier modifies the verb phrase (VP) and quantifies the event encoded by the VP. Cross-linguistically, A-quantification seems to be more fundamental than D-quantification: not all languages have D-quantification (Vieira, 1995), but every language has A-quantification (Bach et al, 1995). This typological generalization invites the idea that A-quantification is more natural than D-quantification for human cognition.…”

Em Vieira (2014), contudo, a ordem aparentemente livre observada em Asurini e Tupinambá, passou a ser vista como derivada do estatuto informacional dos constituintes da oração.…”

“…Nesse volume, fica constatado que há diferenças entres as línguas e entre construções em uma mesma língua no que tange os meios utilizados para expressar a quantificação. Em Vieira (1995), por exemplo, foi sugerido que o Asurini do Trocará só possuía quantificadores-A para quantificar sobre os NPs.…”
