Measure DP Adverbials, Aktionsart, and Functional Structure DP adverbials have long posed some vexing analytical challenges, largely because they manifest seemingly contrary nominal and adverbial properties. This paper begins with the observation that certain DP adverbials constitute a natural class distinguished by several puzzling characteristics: obligatorily narrow scope, low structural positi

Sprache & Literatur II, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitt, Postfach 11 19 32, 60054 Frankfurt am Main, pfau@lingua.uni-frankfurt.de) In the generative tradition, there is a lot of talking about the ªpsychological reality of grammarsæ. Still, psycholinguists working on the development of production models hardly eve

Nominative Subject or Object, what is the difference? The present paper investigates quirky subject and Case shift phenomena. An illustration from Russian is given in (1)-(2). These examples represent psychological constructions with Experiencer-Object (EO) verbs (in Bouchard’s 1995 terms) nadoest’ (to bore) (1) and udivit’ (to surprise) (2). In (a), a non-nominative argument (Experiencer) occupie

The status of Dutch object pronouns revisited Marlies van der Velde University Paris-8 In this paper new data about the syntactic distribution of weak pronouns in Dutch will be presented. These data suggest that the feature [animate] and / or [gender] may play a role with respect to the possible positions of these elements in the sentence. Dutch has two series of pronouns, a series of full forms (

1 Wh-drop in Child Languages and Adult ASL Introduction This study concerns the dropping of wh-words (wh-drop) in wh-questions in child languages and adult ASL. Based on the analysis of children’s spontaneous speech data and the results of the experiments conducted, we show that the wh-drop occurs frequently in many child languages but occurs rarely in child Japanese. We argue that the occurrence

The morphophonological structure of "words" in sign language Through time, the status of the sign language "word" has been and still is unclear. Until and even after the sixties, signs were seen as holistic units, without any internal structure. A first investigation of signs (Stokoe, 1960), however, showed that signs are built up from smaller, meaning distinguishing units: movements, places of ar

A syntactic treatment of logophoricity and anaphoricity: evidence from verbal agreement Sandhya Sundaresan, University of Tromsø (CASTL)/Universität Stuttgart Anaphoricity and logophoricity are standardly treated as underlyingly distinct, with the former receiving primarily structural treatments (Chomsky, 1981; Hicks, 2009; Reuland, 2011) and the latter predominantly semantico-pragmatic ones (Sell

A Dual-Source Analysis of Gapping David Potter, Michael Frazier, Masaya Yoshida Gapping constructions (1) have long been known to be ambiguous with respect to the scope of modals and negation [11], with the scope-taking material scoping either under the coordina- tor, yielding distributed scope, or above the coordinator, yielding wide scope. Extant analyses of Gapping [2, 5, 4, 6, 9] stumble over

Rajesh Bhatt & Stefan Keine (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) Verb Clusters and the Semantics of Head Movement Background: Bobaljik & Wurmbrand (2005) argue for an analysis of German long passives according to which the embedded object undergoes raising to the matrix clause to receive case from matrix T.

This contrasts with current analyses of sprouting which hold that it is conditioned by either syntactic or phonological absence of an antecedent. Further, this cond

Untitled The absence of coreferential subjects in TP coordination Bronwyn M. Bjorkman (University of Toronto) Since Ross (1967) much work on the syntax of coordination has been concerned with the con- ditions governing optionally “shared” material between two conjuncts. Much less attention has been given, however, to cases in which such sharing is obligatory. This paper investigates a requirement

Anaphoric dependencies in real time: Processing of Russian numerical constructions Maria Polinsky and Eric Potsdam Harvard University and the University of Florida Natural language has numerous ways to encode anaphoric dependencies, including filler-gap (movement) constructions, antecedent-anaphor relations, control, variable binding, and coreference.

Paths Gillian Ramchand, University of Tromsø/CASTL One of the potential benets of a decomposed and constructivist approach to phrase structure is that generalizations about meaning that have linguistic consequences can be represented within the core symbolic system of language (what we traditionally call the `syntax'), thus localizing recursion and generativity to a single module. However, it is n
