This article presents the results of three studies which investigated the production and comprehension of resumptive pronouns by children acquiring Brazilian Portuguese as their mother tongue and by adult native speakers of this language. Resumptive pronouns in several syntactic positions were tested and the results suggest that the use of these pronouns in BP is very limited but that the position where the pronoun appears seems to be relevant for its use by children.
