Importantly, previous research has assumed that all phi-features of the pronominal paradigm are equally vulnerable, but the current paper presents data from CEDEL2 showing that deficits are selective as they affect 3rd person animate features only.}, organization = {Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia}, publisher = {Bretones Callejas, Carmen M. et al.
