English-speaking children with SLI are very proficient at marking plural on nouns. Spanish has two main nominal plural allomorphs: /s/ and /es/. The /es/ allomorph has received multiple theoretical treatments, including one (e.g., Harris (1991)) which argues that in singular-plural pairs such as flor-flores, the /e/ is epenthetic, while other accounts (e.g., Colina (2003)) argue that synchronically there is an underlying /e/ in the singular form (e.g., flore) which gets deleted by apocope. Child Spanish speakers with SLI in the United States have shown mixed results in their abilities to learn plural marking. They have shown low proficiency on an elicited production task, but have shown high proficiency in spontaneous production data. We show, using a new elicited production task in Mexico with a group of children diagnosed with SLI and two control groups, that performance is close to the high levels previously shown in spontaneous production studies. Further, we show that all children's performance with the epenthetic allomorph /es/ is worse than their performance with the canonical allomorph /s/. Our results suggest that plural marking is not an axis of cross-linguistic variation between Spanish and English among children with SLI. On the basis of the absence of child errors of the flore type and presence of errors of the flors type, our data appear to support the epenthesis account of Harris (1991).}} @article{Hohle:2009, Author = {H{\"o}hle, Barbara and Berger, Frauke and M{\"u}ller, Anja and Schmitz, Michaela}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 12:38:27 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 12:40:45 -0500}, Journal = {Language Acquisition}, Number = {1}, Pages = {36--66}, Title = {Focus Particles in {C}hildren's Language: Production and Comprehension of \emph{Auch} `Also' in {G}erman Learners from 1 Year to 4 Years of Age}, Volume = {16}, Year = {2009}, Abstract = {This article investigates the acquisition of the focus particle auch 'also' by German-learning children. We report data from spontaneous and elicited production of utterances with the focus particle auch by 1- to 4-year-olds complementing earlier findings of a delayed production of the unaccented auch compared to the accented one. But in contrast to previous studies showing that children have problems interpreting sentences with accented and unaccented auch, we found indications for adult-like comprehension in an eye-tracking experiment by children from 3 years on. These results reflect early availability of adult-like linguistic competence with respect to both auch-variants which does not always lead to adult-like performance. This variation in children's performance across tasks is considered to be due to additional modality and task specific constraints. Development in this area thus reflects not a change in underlying knowledge, but rather a change in the constraints on its behavioral manifestation.}} @article{Kim:2009, Author = {Kim, Ji-Hye and Silvina, Montrul and Yoon, James}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 12:35:43 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 12:37:19 -0500}, Journal = {Language Acquisition}, Number = {1}, Pages = {3--35}, Title = {Binding Interpretations of Anaphors by {K}orean Heritage Speakers}, Volume = {16}, Year = {2009}, Abstract = {This study investigates the potential incomplete acquisition of binding interpretations in Korean-English bilinguals by asking whether and how the majority language of these bilinguals (English) influences their family or heritage language (Korean), especially when exposure to and use of English starts very early. The experiment tested the long-distance and local interpretations of different Korean anaphors---caki, casin, and caki-casin---by 51 Korean-English bilinguals raised in Korean-speaking families residing in the United States (22 early bilinguals and 29 late bilinguals) together with a control group of 34 Korean monolinguals residing in Korea. Overall results indicated that the bilinguals maintain the distinction between local and long-distance anaphors, though not to the same degree as monolinguals. There was a tendency among early bilinguals to choose more local binding overall compared to the late bilinguals and Korean monolinguals. At the individual level, many early bilinguals failed to differentiate between caki-casin and casin in terms of binding distance, treating both as local anaphors, whereas monolinguals and late bilinguals tended to collapse caki and casin, treating both as long distance anaphors}} @article{Mushin:2008, Author = {Mushin, Ilana and Simpson, Jane}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 12:27:55 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 12:29:59 -0500}, Journal = {Language}, Number = {3}, Pages = {566--596}, Title = {Free to Bound to Free?

Free pronouns become positionally restricted reduced forms by association of clause-initial position with discourse prominence (Swartz 1988, Choi 1999). The same pragmatic motivations result in the creation of new free pronouns, and the divergence of free and reduced pronouns with respect to ergative case marking. Examples of languages at different stages of the cycle include Garrwa (one set of free pronouns, with a strong preference for second position); Djambarrpuyngu and Gupapuyngu (two sets of pronouns transparently related in form and in complementary distribution); Ritharrngu, Djinang, and Djinba (two sets of pronouns transparently related in form but in which the reduced pronouns are becoming obligatory); Warlpiri (two sets of pronouns, which diverge in form, and the reduced set is obligatory); and Warumungu (one set of reduced pronouns, indicating how new free pronouns might emerge based on information-packaging principles).

We discuss two interrelated issues concerning these words: (i) Do these words behave syntactically like conjunctions in other languages, in combining with two noun phrases to form a single noun phrase, or are they really just verbs in a serial verb construction?, and (ii) Do these words have a meaning that is closer to a coordinative conjunction like and in English, or do they have a comitative meaning like English with?

This study reports an analysis of roughly 90,000 tokens of homophones in the Switchboard corpus of American English telephone conversations, in which it was found that high-frequency words like time are significantly shorter than their lowfrequency homophones like thyme. The effect of lemma frequency persisted when local speaking rate, predictability from neighboring words, position relative to pauses, syntactic category, and orthographic regularity were brought under statistical control.

Looking at the communicative abilities of other species, it becomes clear that our linguistic ability is specific to our species, undoubtedly a product of our biology. But how do we go about determining the specifics of this Language faculty? There are two primary ways in which we infer the nature of Language from the properties of individual languages: arguments from the POVERTY OF THE STIMULUS, and the search for universals that characterize every natural language. Arguments of the first sort are not easy to construct (though not as difficult as sometimes suggested), and apply only to a tiny part of Language as a whole. Arguments from universals or typological generalizations are also quite problematic. In phonology, morphology, and syntax, factors of historical development, functional underpinnings, and limitations of the learning situation, among others, conspire to compromise the explanatory value of arguments from observed crosslinguistic regularities. Confounding the situation is the likelihood that properties found across languages as a consequence of such external forces have been incorporated into the Language faculty evolutionarily through the BALDWIN EFFECT. The conflict between the biologically based specificity of the human Language faculty and the difficulty of establishing most of its properties in a secure way cannot, however, be avoided by ignoring or denying the reality of either of its poles.}} @article{Plag:2008, Author = {Plag, Ingo and Kunter, Gero and Lappe, Sabine and Braun, Maria}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 12:10:27 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 12:15:56 -0500}, Journal = {Language}, Number = {4}, Pages = {760--794}, Title = {The Role of Semantics, Argument Structure, and Lexicalization in Compound Stress Assignment in {E}nglish}, Volume = {84}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {It is generally assumed that noun-noun compounds in English are stressed on the left-hand member (e.g. courtroom, watchmaker). However, there is a large amount of variation in stress assignment (e.g. silk tie, Madison Avenue, singer-songwriter) whose significance and sources are largely unaccounted for in the literature. This article presents a study in which three kinds of factors held to play a role in compound stress assignment are tested: argument structure, lexicalization, and semantics. The analysis of 4,353 noun-noun compounds extracted from the Boston University Radio Speech Corpus shows that there is indeed a considerable amount of variation in stress assignment. Overall, semantics turns out to have the strongest effect on compound stress assignment, whereas an approach relying on argument structure is much less successful in predicting compound stress. The article presents for the first time large-scale empirical evidence for the assumption that lexicalization has an effect on compound stress assignment. The article also makes a methodological contribution to the debate in showing that (and how) corpus-based studies using acoustic measurements can shed new light on the issue of variable compound stress.}} @article{Dunn:2008, Author = {Dunn, Michael and Levinson, Stephen C. and Lindstr{\"o}m, Eva and Reesink, Ger and Terrill, Angela}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 12:07:00 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 12:10:06 -0500}, Journal = {Language}, Number = {4}, Pages = {710--759}, Title = {Structural Phylogeny in Historical Linguistics: Methodological Explorations Applied in {I}sland {M}elanesia}, Volume = {84}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {Using various methods derived from evolutionary biology, including maximum parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, we tackle the question of the relationships among a group of Papuan isolate languages that have hitherto resisted accepted attempts at demonstration of interrelatedness. Instead of using existing vocabulary-based methods, which cannot be applied to these languages due to the paucity of shared lexemes, we created a database of STRUCTURAL FEATURES---abstract phonological and grammatical features apart from their form. The methods are first tested on the closely related Oceanic languages spoken in the same region as the Papuan languages in question. We find that using biological methods on structural features can recapitulate the results of the comparative method tree for the Oceanic languages, thus showing that structural features can be a valid way of extracting linguistic history. Application of the same methods to the otherwise unrelatable Papuan languages is therefore likely to be similarly valid. Because languages that have been in contact for protracted periods may also converge, we outline additional methods for distinguishing convergence from inherited relatedness.}} @article{Langendoen:2008, Author = {Langendoen, D.

This article presents a new solution using a variety of COORDINATE GRAMMAR to assign nonembedding (paratactic) structures strongly equivalent to those assigned by an embedding grammar, which can in turn be directly computed by a finite transducer. It proposes that the bound on center embedding is really a consequence of a bound on alternation between right and left embedding, called here ZIGZAG EMBEDDING. Coordinate grammars can also be used to assign on embedding structures equivalent to those with up to any specified finite degree of coordinate embedding (the occurrence of a coordinate structure as a member of a coordinate structure of the same type). It concludes that coordinate grammars or the finite transducers strongly equivalent to them are psychologically real, and that the existence of a finite bound on the degree of zigzag and coordinate embedding is a consequence of the increasing size and complexity of such grammars or transducers as the bound increases.}} @article{Stepanov:2009, Author = {Stepanov, Arthur and Stateva, Penka}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 11:57:00 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 11:58:29 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Number = {1}, Pages = {176--185}, Title = {When {QR} Disobeys Superiority}, Volume = {40}, Year = {2009}} @article{Coon:2009, Author = {Coon, Jessica}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 11:55:07 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 11:56:31 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Number = {1}, Pages = {165--175}, Title = {Interrogative Possessors and the Problem with Pied-Piping in {C}hol}, Volume = {40}, Year = {2009}} @article{Caponigro:2009, Author = {Caponigro, Ivano and Pearl, Lisa}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 11:53:10 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 11:54:44 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Number = {1}, Pages = {155--164}, Title = {The Nominal Nature of Where, When, and How: Evidence from Free Relatives}, Volume = {40}, Year = {2009}} @article{Gribanova:2009, Author = {Gribanova, Verga}, Date-Added = {2009-02-19 11:51:15 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-19 11:52:41 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Number = {1}, Pages = {133--154}, Title = {Structural Adjacency and the Typology of Interrogative Interpretations}, Volume = {40}, Year = {2009}, Abstract = {I point out that the generally accepted theory of single-pair versus pair-list readings for multiple wh-questions in the Slavic family, as instantiated in Boskovic 2001a, predicts the wrong result for Russian multiple wh-questions and for coordinated multiple wh-questions in several languages.

Ultimately, it will become clear that the unifying prinicple of locality must be the phase, and that phasehood determines the transparency/opacity of phrases for both movement and anaphoric relations. }} @article{Hicks:2008, Author = {Hicks, Glyn}, Date-Added = {2008-12-16 10:21:51 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2008-12-16 10:22:53 -0500}, Journal = {Syntax}, Number = {3}, Pages = {255--280}, Title = {Why the Binding Theory Doesn't Apply at {LF}}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {This article argues that the relegation of the binding theory to the C-I interface (LF) is theoretically undersirable and empirically unwarranted. Recent minimalist research has sought to eliminate the binding theory from UG by reducing its conditions to narrow-syntactic operations (Hornstein 200, 2006; Reuland 2001, 2006; Kayne 2002; Zwart 2002, 2006; Hicks 2006). This approach remains controversial since the canonical minimalist binding theory (Chomsky 1993; Chomsky and Lasnik 1993) views the binding conditions as interpretive reules applying at LF, supported by evidence that condition A interacts with other interpretive phenomena assumed to be determined at LF (Lebeaux 1998; Fox and Nissenbaum 2004). While the interaction of anaphor binding and scope relations in particular is not disputed, I show that it is attributable to factors outside the binding theory, namely the requirement that variables (including anaphors) must be c-commanded by their binders at LF. Deprived of its strongest empirical argument, the LF binding theory can then be picked apart.}} @article{Unsworth:2008, Author = {Unsworth, Sharon and Gualmini, Andrea and Helder, Christina}, Date-Added = {2008-11-09 14:49:51 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2008-11-09 14:51:08 -0500}, Journal = {Language Acquisition}, Number = {4}, Pages = {315--328}, Title = {Children's Interpretation of Indefinites in Sentences Containing Negation: A Reassessment of the Cross-linguistic Picture}, Volume = {15}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {Previous research suggests that children's behavior with respect to the interpretation of indefinite objects in negative sentences may differ depending on the target langauge: whereas young English-speaking children tend to select a surface scope interpretation (e.g. Musolino (1998)), young Dutch-speaking children consistently prefer an inverse scope interpretation (e.g. Kramer (2000)).

More recent proposals have claimed that most does not generate a scalar implicature but is semantically both lower and upper bounded (Ariel (2004; in press)). In this article, we investigate the interpretation of most experimentally to evaluate these competing semantic and pragmatic accounts. We focus on a comparison of most and half because, on the classical view, half and other exact determiners should admit bilateral interpretations more readily than the upward-oriented most (Horn (in press)); however, no such difference should exist if most is both lower and upper bounded. We find that (i) in nonbiasing contexts, adults are more likely to treat most as being compatible with all than half ; (ii) a similar asymmetry emerges in children's interpretations of the two determiners; and (iii) adults adjust the higher boundary of the interpretation of most according to context-driven expectations.

Both pictures showed extra objects (e.g., alligators or bathtubs) not in correspondence, with correct sentence interpretation requiring their attention. Children younger than 9 years made numerous errors, with poorer performance in distributive contexts than collective ones. In Experiment 3, 21 native, English-speaking adults, given a similar task with the distributive quantifier every, also made childlike errors. The persistence of quantifier-spreading errors in adults undermines accounts positing immature syntactic structures as the error source.

Evidence for this claim comes from the intuitions of L1 English-speaking classroom learners of French with respect to two properties of the French nominal system, both of which are posited to be the surface manifestations of a single parametric option for noun movement within a D(eterminer) P(hrase). These include (i) the distinction between result and process nominals in the licensing of postnominal genitives and (ii) the distinction between prenominal and postnominal adjective position in the context of unique versus nonunique noun referents. An analysis of the results of an acceptability judgment task administered to 100 university-level learners, 27 native French speakers, and 30 native English-speaker controls demonstrated that particular interpretive asymmetries associated with these properties, although underdetermined in the input and not syntactically instantiated in English, nonetheless appeared in the interlanguage grammars of the study participants. Moreover, changes in learner response patterns by level were highly suggestive of a developmental path involving an initial English-like parse of the test sentences followed by a parametric shift at the 3rd-year level, leading to increasingly more native-like intuitions at later levels wherein both properties cluster together.

There are numerous additional problems both with H's account of quantifier scope and control and with his arguments against chains. If we take chains to be interpretively constructed, then multiple copies in chains may not differ from other multiple occurrences of lexical items (or structures constructed from lexical items) with respect to their origin. In all cases, multiple occurrences are due to a (set of) element(s) being selected from the lexicon more than once. Multiple occurrences can then be interpreted as chains when they are in the (thematically) appropriate type of identity relation.

It is argued that this phenomenon, which we refer to as indefinite determiner doubling, is restricted to structures containing a quantificational element, i.e., the elements appearing between the two determiners are quantifiers, providing additional evidence for Matthewson's (Natural Language Semantics, 9: 145--189, 2001) analysis of quantification, according to which a generalized quantifier is created in two steps, crucially involving a DP complement. The top, or `doubling,' determiner operates on this quantificational structure, functioning as a cardinality element. The analysis is extended to indefinite determiner doubling constructions in varieties of English (e.g., a such a man) and to constructions with definite determiner doubling in (some varieties of) German. The micro-variation observed across German (and English) dialects with respect to the presence versus absence of the doubling determiner is confined to the PF-component, whose different properties across the two systems impose a preference, or a choice, for one or the other spell-out form (phonetically overt or phonetically silent).

The systematic lack of the DE in some languages (Arabic, Hebrew, and Romanian), unexpected in previous analyses, is due to the morphological N-to-D raising (fusion), therefore satisfying the linearization condition.

Further, not only do the standard accounts frequently contradict fundamental empirical facts of child linguistic development, such as the degree of variability observed in the production of early grammatical structures regardless of input; the accounts also fail to consider a crucial aspect which impacts selection: the young child's innate potential to efficiently acquire multiple languages simultaneously.

Taking Aissen's theory of DM (Aissen 2003) as a starting point, we show that althought its predictions seem mostly consisten with the statistical results of corpus-based research on Korean (and Japanese), this model does not accurately account for the Korean data. We argue that subject and object bareness (the lack of a functional particle) regularly correlates with interpretive effects that should be captured in terms of information structure (focus structure). Adapting Erteschik-Shir's (1997, 2007) framework to represent focus-structure, we argue that bare subjects and objects in Korean fail to be visible at this level. Consequently, they may be construed neither as active topics nor as foci, and thus must either be left out of focus-structure or incorporated within larger focus-structure constituents in order to be interpreted. We show that bare objects are never construed as topics or foci and alwas exhibit a form of semantic incorporation, whicle LEUL-marked objects always stand for focus-structre constituents construed as focused at some level. Bare subjects, unlike NEUN-marked topical subjects and GA-marked subjects, can be construed neither as active topics nor as foci, and always occur in tense-deficient clauses construed as thetic and anchored to speech time. We argue that our assumptions correctly predict the results of corpus studies, and we suggest that as regards nominal arguments, F-structure visibility might ultimately stand as the crucial interpretive correlate of Functional positions in syntax.}} @article{Coetzee:2008, Author = {Coetzee, Andries}, Date-Added = {2008-07-27 09:42:11 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-07-27 09:55:57 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Number = {2}, Pages = {218--257}, Title = {Grammaticality and Ungrammaticality in Phonology}, Volume = {84}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {In this article, I make two theoretical claims.

Like all selectional requirements, it applies to the head of the selected phrase, explaining why null heads cannot appear in EPP positions (thus deriving certain representational ECP effects). A wide range of empirical results follow, all unified by the exclusion of null-headed phrases from EPP positions: subject-object asymmetries in the distribution of bare nouns in Romance and sentential complements; failure of certain adjuncts to occur in clause-initial position; resistance of indirect objects to A' -movement; and phonological doubling of heads of fronted categories.

The proposal is based on the following assumptions: The derivatin of the Hungarian sentence involves a lexical phase (PredP) and a functional phase (a TP or a FocP), both headed by the raised V. When the functional phase is constructed, the silent lower copies ofhte V and their projections are deleted, which results in the flattening of the phasal domain. Grammatical phenomena indicative of a hierarchical structure are interpreted on the hierarchical domain of the lexical phase, whereas those indicative of a flat sturcture are interpreted on the flattened domain of the functional phase.

We propose a theory of phonotactic grammars and a learning algorithm that constructs such grammars from positive evidence. Our grammars consist of constraitns that are assigned numerical weights according to the principle of maximum entropy. The grammars assess possible words on the basis of the weighted sum of their constraint violations. The learning algorithm yields grammars that can capture both categorical and gradient phonotactic patterns. The algorithm is not provided with constraints in advance, but uses its own resources to form constraints and weight them. A baseline model, in which Universal Grammar is reduced to a feature set and an SPE-style constraint format, suffices to learn many phonotactic phenomena. In order for the model to learn nonlocal phenomena such as stress and vowel harmony, it must be augmented with autosegmental tiers and metrical grids. Our results thus offer novel, learning-theoretic support for such representations. We apply the model in a variety of learning simulations, showing that the learned grammars capture the distributional generalizations of these languages and accurately predict the findings of a phonotactic experiment.}} @article{Friedmann:2008, Author = {Friedmann, Na'ama and Taranto, Gina and Shapiro, Lewis P. and Swinney, David}, Date-Added = {2008-07-21 07:13:25 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-07-21 07:15:12 -0400}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Number = {3}, Pages = {355--377}, Title = {The Leaf Fell (the Leaf): The Online Processing of Unaccusatives}, Volume = {39}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {According to the Unaccusative Hypothesis, unaccusative subjects are base-generated in object position and move to the subject position.

{Locality in {C}orrelatives}, Volume = {21}, Year = {2003}, Abstract = {Correlativization seems to be an intrinsically non-local strategy, where the Correlative clause can appear discontinuous from the noun phrase it modifies. I show that correlative constructions in the Modem Indo-Aryan languages nevertheless display locality effects. The nature of these locality effects depends upon whether the correlative clause involves a single relativization ('Simple') or mutiple relativizations ('Multi-Head'). The generalization that emerges is that a Correlative clause must be merged as locally as possible to the phrase that it modifies. Simple correlatives modify DPs and so they start adjoined to the DP that they modify and then are fronted to an IP-adjoined position. Such an approach is able to explain the hitherto unexplained sensitivity of the correlative-modified phrase relationship to islands. Multi-Head Correlatives modify IPs and therefore they start adjoined to the smallest IP that contains the variables bound by the Multi-Head Correlative, followed by optional movement to the clause-initial position.

Genitive compounds show a number of properties distinguishing them from normal NN compounds, the most striking of which is the obligatory definiteness/specificity of their first element and, as a consequence, of the compound as a whole. These properties can be accounted for if genitive compounds are analyzed as phrases moving towards word status. Historically they derive from the Old Frisian prenominal genitive construction, and it is shown that they still are a kind of prenominal genitive construction today, albeit heavily lexicalized, i.e., subject to lexical principles and containing specifically lexical elements. Since some of the phrasal elements in genitive compounds do not occur in syntax proper and since their definiteness produces a blocking effect on normal NN compounds, they seem to provide evidence for the concept of lexical phrases, potentially productive phrasal patterns in the lexicon.}} @article{Dikken:2002b, Author = {den Dikken, Marcel}, Date-Added = {2008-06-18 12:16:41 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-06-18 12:17:43 -0400}, Journal = {Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics}, Number = {2}, Pages = {169--225}, Title = {Lexical Intergity, Checking, and the Mirror: A Checking Approach to Syntactic Word Formation}, Volume = {6}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {Admitting syntactic formation of morphologically complex words is commonly deemed to be an infringement on the Lexical Integrity Hypothesis.

The most prominent current accounts (e.g., Rohrbacher's 1999 Morphology-Driven Syntax) require inspection of the internal make-up of paradigms and take overt morphological variation to be the cause of syntactic variation. A survey of the literature shows that these proposals are empirically untenable in their strong (bi-conditional) form; there are numerous cases of syntactic variation attested in the absence of corresponding morphological variation. The strongest sustainable descriptive generalization is a one-way implication from rich morphology to verb movement. Though this has been noted before, its implications have not been adequately discussed. While morphologydriven approaches could have explained a strong RAH, when faced with the weaker, one-way implication, they can provide no account of why that correlation should hold and are thus at best incomplete. That is, they provide no insight as to why there are no languages with rich morphology but in which the finite verb remains in the VP. The particular correlations that are attested, and in particular the absence of a certain class of languages, do however follow from a theory which takes morphology to be not the cause but rather a reflection of syntactic structure, in line with common theorizing in morphology. The inflection-movement correlations that do exist therefore challenge rather than support morphology-driven approaches to morphosyntax.}} @article{Ackema:2002a, Author = {Ackema, Peter and Neeleman, Ad}, Date-Added = {2008-06-18 12:13:08 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-06-18 12:13:48 -0400}, Journal = {Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics}, Number = {2}, Pages = {93--128}, Title = {Syntactic Atomicity}, Volume = {6}, Year = {2002}} @incollection{Hintikka:1969, Author = {Hintikka, Jaako}, Booktitle = {Philosophical Logic}, Date-Added = {2008-06-04 20:31:11 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-06-04 20:43:44 -0400}, Editor = {Davis, J.

Wh-copying is traditionally thought to provide strong evidence for the successive-cyclic nature of wh-movement. Besides the more general problem of how intermediate movement steps are formally triggered, however, the wh-copying phenomenon raises the questions of what grammatical condition or conditions should permit (or possibly, force) the phonetic realisation of intermediate wh-copies, why the spelling-out of locally uninterpretable copies of a wh-operator does not cause the derivation to crash at the phase level, and to what extent their presence poses a problem for the principle of Full Interpretation and for Kayne's (Kayne, R., 1994. The Antisymmetry of Syntax. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA) Linear Correspondence Axiom. It is shown that an analysis of wh-copying in terms of the discontinuous spelling-out of a wh-expression's `operator' and `core' parts, in conjunction with a convergence-based view of phases, not only helps provide answers to the above questions, but also accounts for some otherwise difficult-to-explain restrictions on wh-copying.}} @article{Son:2008, Author = {Son, Minjeong and Cole, Peter}, Date-Added = {2008-05-06 09:29:12 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-05-06 09:30:28 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Number = {1}, Pages = {120--160}, Title = {An Event-Based Account of \emph{-kan} Constructions in {S}tandard {I}ndonesian}, Volume = {84}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {A widely held position in the literature on verbal meaning is that the lexical-semantic representation of verbsinvolvescomplex event structureswith semantic primitiveslike CAUSE and BECOME (e.g. Dowty 1979).

The ACC is also attested in non- AAE dialects of American English (Beavers & Koontz-Garboden 2006a). For certain syntactic properties, the possessor of the ACC behaves as if it were external to the larger DP (e.g. binding, control, selection); for others, it behaves as if it were internal to the larger DP (e.g. finite verb agreement, traditional constituent-structure tests). To account for this dual behavior, we propose that the ACC possessor DP originates in a position external to the ACC, and moves into its possessor position. We discuss the implications of our analysis for other areas of AAE syntax, including the resumptive-with construction, a previously undocumented grammatical phenomenon, and the use of self in various constructions, which we suggest are illuminated by the notion camouflage. We briefly consider arguable instances of camouflage crosslinguistically in languages such as Georgian, French, the Mayan languages K'ekchi and Tzotzil, and Yoruba.

The internal syntactic structure of NPN violates standard principles of phrase structure, and the required identity of the two nouns (in most cases) presents descriptive difficulties. Furthermore, when NPN appears in NP positions, it can take normal NP complements and modifiers, and it has quantificational semantics despite the absence of a lexical quantifier.

The bulk of the paper argues in favor of an inversion analysis of specificational pseudoclefts in Malagasy: a predicate DP is fronted to a topic position from within a small clause constituent. Moreover, it is shown that the same inversion occurs in equative and specificational sentences in Malagasy, which suggests that these types of sentences share the same syntactic structure.

However, in many languages, superlatives require the presence of a determiner, even in the predicate position. This leads to an apparent contradiction, since it is independently known that determiners syntactically combine with extended NP projections and are excluded with APs. This issue is resolved if superlative adjectives always appear in an attributive (modificational) position. Superlative phrases without an overt noun (e.g., in the predicative position) modify a null head noun. I show that this hypothesis immediately explains the restrictions on the distribution of superlatives in languages as diverse as Russian, French, German, Dutch, Breton, Spanish and Portuguese. I propose that the modificational nature of superlative adjectives can be derived from their semantics, and I argue that such a proposal yields a natural explanation of the behavior of superlatives in Hebrew and Persian. Finally, I discuss the interaction between this theory and the standard, movement-based analyses of comparatives and superlatives and provide an explanation for apparent counterexamples.}} @article{Leu:2008, Author = {Leu, Thomas}, Date-Added = {2008-04-24 08:48:17 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-04-24 08:48:55 -0400}, Journal = {Syntax}, Number = {1}, Pages = {1--25}, Title = {\emph{What for} Internally}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {The present paper is concerned with the internal structure of Germanic what for phrases.

For is analyzed as a prepositional complementizer whose complement contains the (silent) nominal and the trace of what, to which for assigns accusative Case.

There is a consensus that in early grammar, children omit object clitics in contexs where an adult would not. Several analyses have been put forth, among which, one proposing a close link between the omission of object clitics and the presence of past participle agreement. In this short article we address this hypothesis by examining the acquisition of past participle agreement through two sentence-preference tasks administered to children (3- to 5-year olds divided into three age groups) and adults from the Montr{\'e}al area. The results of the experiments show that past participle agreement is a marginal feature in early grammar and therefore too weak to be considered as a controlling the realization of the direct object clitics in child production. Children and adults display different behavior with respect to past participle agreement (weak and optional) versus subject-verb agreement (consistently strong and obligatory). This result points toward an analysis of past participle agreement in terms of language-specific optional verb movement.}} @article{Corver:2008, Author = {Corver, Norbert}, Date-Added = {2008-04-22 13:59:19 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-04-22 14:00:08 -0400}, Journal = {The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics}, Number = {1}, Pages = {43--93}, Title = {Uniformity and diversity in the syntax of evaluative vocatives}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2008}, Abstract = {This article investigates the internal syntax of evaluative vocative expressions (e.g., You idiot!).

It turns out that this construction type has different morphosyntactic manifestations across languages/dialects (abstractly: youNOM idiot!; youACC/OBL idiot!; your idiot!). The paper aims at giving a uniform account for the `underlying' syntax of this construction type. It is argued that this construction has the `underlying' syntax of a possessive noun phrase. More particularly, the second person pronoun starts out as (part of) a PP-predicate and undergoes leftward predicate displacement within the vocative noun phrase. The major dimensions of (morpho)syntactic diversity are related to the following properties: (1) the nature of the predicate displacement operation involved (i.e., predicate inversion and/or predicate fronting); (2) the overtness versus covertness of the small clause head X, which is part of the vocative expression; (3) the case form of the second person pronoun.

The theoretical approach we provide for these sentences is an adapted version of Merchant's (2001) implementation of sluicing in terms of an [e]-feature that is responsible for the deletion process. Our extension of this proposal involves the modification of the syntactic subcontent of this [e]-feature. We show that languages where question words are found in the operator domain of the left periphery use a version of the [e]-feature that attaches to heads whose specifier is occupied by an operator. This predicts that sluicing not only occurs with wh-remnants but more widely with operator remnants as well. With this proposal we lay the foundation for a crosslinguistic taxonomy of sluicing constructions, and open new avenues towards explaining root/embedded asymmetries in some as yet ill-understood elliptical phenomena in English.}} @article{Citko:2006, Author = {Citko, Barbara}, Date-Added = {2008-04-08 17:07:05 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2008-04-08 17:08:14 -0400}, Journal = {Syntax}, Number = {3}, Pages = {225--247}, Title = {The Interaction between {A}cross-the-{B}oard \emph{wh}-Movement and Left-Branch Extraction}, Volume = {9}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {This paper explores the interaction between two independently well studied wh-movement strategies: across-the-board wh-movement and left-branch extraction.

clusters in German do not involve head clustering in the form of (lexical or derived) complex head formation. I provide several arguments showing that clause union properties are licensed in the absence of complex head formation and that complex head formation hence cannot be seen as a condition on clause union/restructuring. Complex head approaches are compared to syntactic complementation approaches---in particular, to an approach where the verbs of a restructuring construction project independent VPs that include all the internal arguments associated with the particular verbs. A series of empirical facts are considered (constituency, word order, modification, event structure properties, and nominalizations) that all point to the conclusion that these constructions involve regular VPs rather than complex V-V heads. Although it is not excluded that complex head approaches could be adjusted to accommodate these facts, the main advantage of the VP-complementation approach is that the sum of the properties discussed follows without additional assumptions from the structure suggested and that this approach also correctly predicts which constructions are excluded.}} @article{Harbour:2007, Author = {Harbour, Daniel}, Date-Added = {2008-01-31 09:59:53 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2008-01-31 10:01:00 -0500}, Journal = {Syntax}, Number = {3}, Pages = {223--242}, Title = {Against {PersonP}}, Volume = {10}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {Emphatic verb doubling, developed as a diagnostic of T-to-C movement in Classical Hebrew, demonstrates that discontinuous agreement is not a consequence of movement to between hypothetical Person and Number phrases}} @article{Stjepanovic:2007, Author = {Stjepanovi\'{c}, Sandra}, Date-Added = {2008-01-24 10:32:17 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2008-01-24 10:33:58 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Linguistic%20Inquiry/39.1stjepanovic.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {179--190}, Title = {P-Stranding under {S}luicing in a Non-{P}-Stranding Language?}, Volume = {39}, Year = {2007}} @article{Merchant:2007a, Author = {Merchant, Jason}, Date-Added = {2008-01-24 10:30:34 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2009-02-09 14:36:26 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Linguistic%20Inquiry/39.1merchant.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {169--179}, Title = {An Asymmetry in Voice Mismatches in {VP}-Ellipsis and {P}seudogapping}, Volume = {39}, Year = {2007}} @article{McNally:2007, Author = {McNally, Louise}, Date-Added = {2008-01-24 10:28:58 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2008-01-24 10:30:07 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Linguistic%20Inquiry/39.1mcnally.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {161--169}, Title = {{DP}-Internal \emph{Only}, Amount Relatives, and Relatives Out of Existentials}, Volume = {39}, Year = {2007}} @article{Sobin:2007, Author = {Sobin, Nicholas}, Date-Added = {2008-01-24 10:27:44 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2008-01-24 10:28:23 -0500}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Linguistic%20Inquiry/39.1sobin.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {147--160}, Title = {\emph{Do So} and {VP}}, Volume = {39}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {Culicover and Jackendoff (2005) argue that VP structure with adjunct modifiers is ``flat'': both complements and adjuncts are equally sisters of V.

Accounts of blocking differ along two primary dimensions: the size of the objects that compete with one another (morphemes, words, phrases, sentences); and whether or not ungrammatical forms are taken into consideration in determining the correct output (relatedly, whether otherwise wellformed objects are marked ungrammatical by competition). We argue that blocking in the sense of competition for the expression of syntactic or semantic features is limited to insertion of the phonological exponents of such features (the Vocabulary items of Distributed Morphology) at terminal nodes from the syntax. There is thus no blocking at the word level or above, and no competition between grammatical and ungrammatical structures.

However, pro drop in Early Modern Dutch is subject to very strict pragmatic conditions, and this, we argue, does follow from the lack of rich agreement. Basing ourselves on Mira Ariel's Accessibility Theory, we argue that if fewer features of an omitted subject are grammatically recoverable, its antecedent must be more salient in discourse. Consequently, there is an indirect relation between rich agreement and pro drop: rich agreement facilitates pro drop in more contexts. Since a very limited distribution of pro drop implies that the rule is vulnerable in diachronic development, the familiar cross-linguistic generalization can be derived.}} @article{Wiklund:2007, Author = {Wiklund, Anna-Lena and Hrafnbjargarson, Gunnar Hrafn and Bentzen, Kristine and Hr{\'o}arsd{\'o}ttir, Thorbj{\"o}rg}, Date-Added = {2007-12-14 12:09:42 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2007-12-14 12:12:27 -0500}, Journal = {Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JCGL/10.3Wiklund_etal.pdf}, Number = {3}, Pages = {203--233}, Title = {Rethinking {S}candinavian verb movement}, Volume = {10}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This paper reconsiders the distribution of verb movement in Scandinavian in light of new data from Norwegian and Icelandic.

Rather, the properties that these constructions share with th-clefts can be straightforwardly accounted for as the sum of the constraints on their shared elements---that is, the equative construction, the demonstrative subject, and the presence of a contextually salient open proposition. The convergence of these elemental properties in each of these three constructions results in the possibility of the demonstrative being used to refer to the instantiation of the variable in the open proposition, which in turn predicts a complex of distributional behaviors shared by precisely the constructions that share these properties. Because these distributional behaviors can be straightforwardly explained in terms of this functional compositionality, the motivation for a truncated-cleft analysis disappears. These results support the view that not all functional properties must be learned on a construction-by-construction basis; instead, the discourse functions of an utterance are built up compositionally from those of its parts.}} @article{Zuraw:2007, Author = {Zuraw, Kie}, Date-Added = {2007-11-19 09:09:52 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2007-11-19 09:11:28 -0500}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/83.2zuraw.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {277--316}, Title = {The Role of Phonetic Knowledge in Phonological Patterning: Corpus and Survey Evidence from {T}agalog Infixation}, Volume = {83}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {A current controversy in phonological theory concerns the explanation of crosslinguistic tendencies.

These constraints evaluate phonological recoverability, which is the extent to which the speaker thinks the listener will be able to recover the phonological message. On a more reductionist level, however, the pronunciation of h-aspire and its variation is accounted for with a new, very simple, grammar model for bidirectional phonology and phonetics, which uses a single constraint set for the four processes of perception, recognition, phonological production, and phonetic implementation, and in which phonological and phonetic production are evaluated in parallel. In this model, the phenomenon of phonological recoverability is not built in, as in control-loop grammars, but emerges from the interaction of four equally simple learning algorithms.}} @article{Legate:2007, Author = {Legate, Julie Anne and Yang, Charles}, Date-Added = {2007-11-05 09:37:22 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2007-11-05 09:38:09 -0500}, Journal = {Language Acquisition}, Number = {3}, Pages = {315--344}, Title = {Morphosyntactic Learning and the Development of Tense}, Volume = {14}, Year = {2007}} @article{Green:2007, Author = {Green, Lisa and Roeper, Thomas}, Date-Added = {2007-11-05 09:32:05 -0500}, Date-Modified = {2007-11-05 09:33:05 -0500}, Journal = {Language Acquisition}, Number = {3}, Pages = {269--313}, Title = {The Acquisition Path for Tense-Aspect: Remote Past and Habitual in Child {A}frican {A}merican {E}nglish}, Volume = {14}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This article considers the comprehension of tense-aspect markers remote base BIN and habitual \emph{be} by 3- to 5-year old developing African American English (AAE)-speaking children and their Southwest Louisiana Vernacular English (SwLVE)-speaking peers.

As in the early approach, there is not feature checking in intermediate positions of successive-cyclic movement. However, as in the current approach and unlike in early minimalism, successive-cyclic movement starts before teh final target of movement enters the structure, and Form Chain is eliminated. The locality of Move and the locality of Agree are shown to be radically different, Agree being free from several mechanisms that constrain Move, namely, phases and the Activation Condition. However, there is no need to take phases to define locality domains of syntax or to posit the Activation Condition as an independent principle. They still hold empirically for Move as theorems. The Generalized EPP (the "I need a Spec" property of attracting heads) and the Inverse Case Filter are also dispensable. The traditional Case Filter, stated as a checking requirement, is the sole driving force of A-movement. More generally, Move is always driven by a formal inadequacy (an uninterpretable feature) of the moving element, while Agree is target driven. The system resolves a lookahead problem that arises under the EPP-driven movement approach, where the EPP diacritic indicating that X moves is placed on Y, not X, although X often needs to start moving before Y enters the structure.}} @unpublished{Merchant:2007, Author = {Merchant, Jason}, Date-Added = {2007-10-24 09:59:47 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-10-24 10:00:36 -0400}, Month = {February}, Note = {Unpublished manuscript, University of Chicago}, Title = {Voice and Ellipsis}, Year = {2007}} @unpublished{Vries:2007, Author = {de Vries, Mark}, Date-Added = {2007-09-20 15:20:46 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-20 15:21:53 -0400}, Note = {unpublished manuscript, University of Groningen}, Title = {Internal and External Remerge: On Movement, Multidominance, and the Linearization of Syntactic Objects}, Year = {2007}} @phdthesis{Blevins:1990, Author = {Blevins, James}, Date-Added = {2007-09-20 15:13:38 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-20 15:14:39 -0400}, School = {University of Massachusetts at Amherst}, Title = {Syntactic Complexity: Evidence for Discontinuity and Multidomination}, Year = {1990}} @incollection{Kuwabara:1997, Address = {Chiba}, Author = {Kuwabara, Kazuki}, Booktitle = {Researching and Verifying an Advanced Theory of Human Language}, Date-Added = {2007-09-18 20:20:14 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-18 20:21:49 -0400}, Editor = {Inoue, Kazuo}, Pages = {61--84}, Publisher = {Kanda University of International Studies}, Title = {On the Properties of Truncated Clauses in {J}apanese}, Year = {1997}} @unpublished{Kratzer:2006, Author = {Kratzer, Angelika}, Date-Added = {2007-09-18 19:23:39 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-18 19:24:40 -0400}, Month = {July}, Note = {talk given at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem}, Title = {Decomposing Attitude Verbs}, Year = {2006}} @inproceedings{Nerbonne:1990, Author = {Nerbonne, John and Iida, Masayo and Ladusaw, William}, Booktitle = {The Proceedings of the Ninth West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics}, Date-Added = {2007-09-12 07:12:15 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-12 07:14:34 -0400}, Editor = {Halpern, Aaron L.}, Pages = {379--394}, Title = {Semantics of Common {N}oun {P}hrase Anaphora}, Year = {1990}} @unpublished{Taraldsen:1978a, Author = {Taraldsen, Knut Tarald}, Date-Added = {2007-09-10 22:20:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-10 22:21:47 -0400}, Note = {unpublished paper, {MIT}}, Title = {On the {NIC}, vacuous application and the that-trace filter}, Year = {1978}} @article{Hockett:1952, Author = {Hockett, Charles F.}, Date-Added = {2007-09-10 09:55:38 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-10 09:56:30 -0400}, Journal = {Studies in Linguistics}, Pages = {27--39}, Title = {A formal statement of morphemic analysis}, Volume = {10}, Year = {1952}} @book{Harris:1951, Author = {Harris, Zellig}, Date-Added = {2007-09-10 09:53:38 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-10 09:54:29 -0400}, Publisher = {University of Chicago Press}, Title = {Methods in Structural Linguistics}, Year = {1951}} @inproceedings{Perlmutter:1978, Author = {Perlmutter, David}, Booktitle = {Berkeley Linguistic Society}, Date-Added = {2007-09-03 14:41:13 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-03 14:42:51 -0400}, Organization = {University of California, Berkeley}, Pages = {157--189}, Title = {Impersonal Passives and the Unaccusative Hypothesis}, Volume = {{IV}}, Year = {1978}} @book{Pires:2006, Address = {Amsterdam/Philadelphia}, Author = {Pires, Acrisio}, Date-Added = {2007-09-03 12:23:03 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-09-03 12:24:23 -0400}, Publisher = {John Benjamins Publishing Company}, Title = {The {M}inimalist Syntax of {D}efective {D}omains}, Year = {2006}} @incollection{Bobaljik:2003, Author = {Bobaljik, Jonathan}, Booktitle = {The Second {Glot} {I}nternational State-of-the-Article Book}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Editor = {Cheng, Lisa L.-S. and Sybesma, Rint}, Pages = {107--148}, Publisher = {Mouton de Gruyter}, Title = {Floating Quantifiers: Handle with care}, Year = {2003}} @article{Blom:2007, Author = {Blom, Elma}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Language Acquisition}, Number = {1}, Pages = {75--113}, Title = {Modality, Infinitives, and Finite Bare Verbs in {D}utch and {E}nglish Language}, Volume = {14}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This article focuses on the meaning of nonfinite clauses (``root infinitives'') in Dutch and English child language.

First, we argue that the scope of the PCC is considerably broader than assumed in previous work, and that neither its formulation in terms of person (1st/2nd vs. 3rd)-case (accusative vs. dative) restrictions nor its morphological nature are part of the right descriptive generalization.We present evidence (i) that the PCC is triggered by the presence of an animacy feature in the object's agreement set; (ii) that it is not case dependent, also showing up in languages that lack dative case; and (iii) that it is not morphologically bound. Second, we argue that the PCC, even if it is modified accordingly, still puts together two different properties of the agreement system that should be set apart: (i) a cross-linguistic sensitivity of object agreement to animacy and (ii) a similarly widespread restriction on multiple object agreement observed crosslinguistically. These properties lead us to propose a new generalization, the Object Agreement Constraint (OAC): if the verbal complex encodes object agreement, no other argument can be licensed through verbal agreement.}} @article{Nevins:2007, Author = {Nevins, Andrew}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.2Nevins.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {273--313}, Title = {The Representation of Third Person and it Consequences for Person-Case Effects}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {In modeling the effects of the Person-Case Constraint (PCC), a common claim is that 3rd person ``is not a person''. However, while this claim does work in the syntax, it creates problems in the morphology. For example, characterizing the well-known ``spurious se effect'' in Spanish simply cannot be done without reference to 3rd person. Inspired by alternatives to underspecification that have emerged in phonology (e.g., Calabrese, 1995), a revised featural system is proposed, whereby syntactic agreement may be relativized to certain values of a feature, in particular, the contrastive and marked values. The range of variation in PCC effects is shown to emerge as a consequence of the parametric options allowed on a Probing head, whereas the representation of person remains constant across modules of the grammar and across languages.}} @article{Gutierrez-Bravo:2007, Author = {Guti{\`e}rrez-Bravo, Rodrigo}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.2Gutierrez.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {235--271}, Title = {Prominence Scales and Unmarked Word Order in {S}panish}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This paper deals with a number of facts related to the word order of Spanish declarative clauses and develops an analysis where the unmarked word order of Spanish clauses with different classes of verbs is not determined by syntactic conditions such as Case or agreement, but rather by structural conditions that are closely related to the thematic role of the different arguments of the verb. The analysis is based on a set of data that point to the conclusion that even though unmarked word order in Spanish is not determined by Case or agreement considerations, it is still mostly regulated by the EPP. However, these same data indicate that (a) the EPP is a requirement operative in some constructions but not in others, and (b) phrases other than the subject DP can satisfy the EPP. This paper develops an Optimality Theoretic account of these facts where the core of the analysis consists of introducing the notion of the Pole of the clause, defined as the highest specifier of the inflectional layer, and developing a set of markedness constraints whose interaction determines when and whether this specifier position is occupied. Central to this analysis are the characterization of the EPP as a violable constraint that requires the Pole specifier to be filled, and the use of Harmonic Alignment to formalize a hierarchy of markedness constraints that target the relative markedness of an argument or adjunct when it occupies the Pole specifier, independently of the grammatical relation it bears.}} @incollection{Klima:1964, Author = {Klima, Edward S.}, Booktitle = {The Structure of Language: Readings in the Philosophy of Language}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Editor = {Fodor, Jerry A. and Katz, Jerrold J.}, Pages = {246--323}, Publisher = {Prentice Hall}, Title = {Negation in {E}nglish}, Year = {1964}} @incollection{Langacker:1969, Author = {Langacker, Ronald W.}, Booktitle = {Modern Studies in {E}nglish}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Editor = {Reibel, David A. and Schane, Sandford A.}, Pages = {160--186}, Publisher = {Prentice Hall}, Title = {On Pronominalization and the Chain of Command}, Year = {1969}} @article{McCawley:1968a, Author = {McCawley, James D.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Number = {2}, Pages = {286--299}, Title = {English as a {VSO} Language}, Volume = {46}, Year = {1970}} @incollection{Fukui:1986a, Author = {Fukui, Naoki and Speas, Margaret}, Booktitle = {{MIT} Working Papers in Linguistics}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Editor = {Fukui, Naoki and Rapoport, Tova R. and Sagey, Elizabeth}, Pages = {128--172}, Publisher = {Department of Linguistics and Philosophy}, Title = {Specifiers and Projection}, Volume = {8}, Year = {1986}} @article{Lasnik:1977, Author = {Lasnik, Howard and Kupin, J.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Theoretical Linguistics}, Number = {3}, Pages = {173--196}, Title = {A Restrictive Theory of Transformational Grammar}, Volume = {4}, Year = {1977}} @incollection{Chomsky:1970, Address = {Waltham, Massachusetts}, Author = {Chomsky, Noam}, Booktitle = {Readings in {E}nglish Transformational Grammar}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Editor = {Jacobs, J. and P.

We investigate object extraction in WH-questions for a range of syntactic configurations (nonislands, weak islands, strong islands) and for multiple levels of embedding (single, double, and triple). In order to establish the crosslinguistic properties of resumption, parallel experiments were conducted in three languages, viz. English, Greek, and German. Three main experimental results are reported. First, resumption does not remedy island violations: resumptive pronominals are at most as acceptable as gaps, but not more acceptable. This result disconfirms claims in the literature that resumptives can `save' island violations. Second, embedding reduces acceptability even in extraction out of nonislands and declaratives, structures standardly assumed to be fully grammatical. Third, nonislands and weak islands pattern together and contrast with strong islands in terms of the effect of resumption and embedding. Our experimental findings show a remarkable consistency across the three languages we investigate; crosslinguistic variation appears confined to quantitative differences in crosslinguistically identical principles. We argue that these experimental results can be explained by the interaction of grammatical principles with resource limitations of the human parser. In particular, extraction from nonislands and weak islands imposes increased demands on the computational resources of the parser. We extend Gibson's (1998) syntactic prediction locality theory in order to formalize this intuition and account for the processing complexity of A-bar dependencies. }} @article{Jager:2007, Author = {J{\"a}ger, Gerhard}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/83.1jager.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {74--109}, Title = {Evolutionary Game Theory and Typology: A Case Study}, Volume = {83}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This article deals with the typology of the case marking of semantic core roles.

This is an unusual enterprise within typology, and it requires a `canonical' approach. That is, I define the canonical or best instance, through a set of converging criteria, and use this point in theoretical space to locate the various occurring types. Thus the criteria establish the dimensions along which specific instances of suppletion are found, allowing me to calibrate examples out from the canonical. The criteria fall into two main areas, those internal to the lexeme and those external to it. Moreover, I find interactions with other morphological phenomena and discuss four of them: syncretism, periphrasis, overdifferentiation, and reduplication. These remarkable instances of suppletion, particularly when in interaction with other phenomena, extend the boundary of the notion `possible word'. Besides laying out the possibilities for the specific phenomenon of suppletion, I show how a canonical approach allows progress in typology, even in the most challenging areas.}} @article{Barlow:2007, Author = {Barlow, Jessica A.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Language Acquisition}, Keywords = {library}, Number = {2}, Pages = {121--164}, Title = {Grandfather Effects: A Longitudinal Case Study of the Phonological Acquisition of Intervocalic Consonants in {E}nglish}, Volume = {14}, Year = {2007}} @inproceedings{Nevins:2003, Address = {Somerville, Massachusetts}, Author = {Nevins, Andrew and Pranav Anand}, Booktitle = {Proceedings of the West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics 22}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Editor = {Tsujimura, M.}, Pages = {370--383}, Publisher = {Cascadilla Press}, Title = {Some {AGREE}ment Matters}, Year = {2003}} @article{Tanaka:2007, Author = {Tanaka, Tomoyuki}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JCGL/10.1Tanaka.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {25--67}, Title = {The rise of lexical subjects in {E}nglish infinitives}, Volume = {10}, Year = {2007}} @article{Bouma:2007, Author = {Bouma, Gosse and Hendricks, Petra and Hoeksema, Jack}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JCGL/10.1Bouma_etal.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {1--24}, Title = {Focus Particles Inside {P}repositional {P}hrases: A Comparison of {D}utch, {E}nglish, and {G}erman}, Volume = {10}, Year = {2007}} @book{Johannessen:1998, Author = {Johannessen, Janne Bondi}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Publisher = {Oxford University Press}, Title = {Coordination}, Year = {1998}} @article{Derbyshire:1981, Author = {Derbyshire, Desmond C. and Pullum, Geoffrey}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {International Journal of American Linguistics}, Pages = {192--214}, Title = {Object-initial languages}, Volume = {47}, Year = {1981}} @inproceedings{Munn:1994, Address = {Amherst, Massachusetts}, Author = {Munn, Alan}, Booktitle = {Proceedings of the {N}orth {E}ast {L}inguistic {S}ociety}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Editor = {Gonz{\`a}lez, Merc{\`e}}, Pages = {397--410}, Publisher = {Graduate Linguistic Student Association}, Title = {A Minimalist Account of Reconstuction Asymmetries}, Volume = {24}, Year = {1994}} @unpublished{Fox:2006, Author = {Fox, Danny and Pesetsky, David}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Note = {talk given Berlin}, Title = {Cyclic Linearization of Shared Material}, Year = {2006}} @unpublished{Bachrach:2006, Author = {Bachrach, Asaf and Katzir, Roni}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Month = {August}, Note = {unpublished manuscript, {MIT}}, Title = {Right-Node Raising and Delayed Spellout}, Year = {2006}} @unpublished{Frampton:2006, Author = {Frampton, John}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Month = {April}, Note = {talk at Harvard University}, Title = {The remerger theory of movement}, Year = {2006}} @article{Sabbagh:2007, Author = {Sabbagh, Joseph}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:51 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.2Sabbagh.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {349--401}, Title = {Ordering and Linearizing Rightward Movement}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This paper offers a novel solution to an old problem concerning Right Node Raising constructions---namely, that Right Node Raising constructions seem to involve an unbounded application of (Across-the-Board) rightward movement that flies in the face of certain locality constraints on movement generally, as well as the locality constraint on (simple) rightward movement in particular.

I propose that the apparent unbounded nature of the movement involved in RNR follows from the simple fact that rightward movement is actually, in principle, an unbounded type ofmovement.

In this article, I argue that these issues are not nearly as problematic as they might first appear. The article demonstrates that Banawa's onset sensitivity can be produced by a constraint aligning the head syllables off eet with onsets, that its minimal word restriction can be produced with Nonfinality constraints, and that it can maintain syllable integrity simply by giving clash and lapse avoidance priority over other footing considerations.}} @article{Folli:2007, Author = {Folli, Raffaella and Harley, Heidi}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Linguistic%20Inquiry/38.2folli.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {197--218}, Title = {Causation, Obligation, and Argument Structure: On the Nature of Little v}, Volume = {38}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {As shown by Kayne (1975), Romance causatives with faire fall into two classes, faire infinitif (FI) and faire par (FP). We argue from Italian data that the properties of the two classes depend on the nature of the complement of fare: FI embeds a vP, FP a nominalized VP. The syntactic and semantic characteristics of these complements account straightforwardly for well-known differences between FI and FP, including the previously untreated ``obligation'' requirement in FI, absent in FP. Our analysis also accounts for another subtle restriction on the formation of FP: the existence of an animacy requirement on the subject of fare, absent in FI. Finally, we argue that only FP can undergo passivization; this accounts for a previously unobserved asymmetry in passivizability of causatives of unergative and unaccusative intransitive verbs.}} @phdthesis{Vicente:2007, Address = {Leiden, The Netherlands}, Author = {Vicente, Luis}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, School = {Universiteit Leiden}, Title = {The Syntax of Heads and Phrases: A Study of Verb (Phrase) Fronting}, Year = {2007}} @phdthesis{Starke:2001, Author = {Starke, Michal}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, School = {University of Geneva}, Title = {Move Dissolves into Merge: A Theory of Locality}, Year = {2001}} @article{Swart:2007, Author = {Swart, Henri{\"e}tte de and Winter, Yoad and Zwarts, Joost}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.1deSwart_etal.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {195--222}, Title = {Bare nominals and reference to capacities}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This paper concentrates on the syntax and semantics of bare nominals in Germanic and Romance languages.

However, some syntactic configurations, including predicative constructions, supplementives and some prepositional phrases, allow bareness of certain nominals. We argue that bare nominals in these constructions refer to capacities: professions, religions, nationalities or other roles in society. Capacities are analyzed as entities of type e, sortally distinct from regular individuals as well as kinds. We further argue that the capacity interpretation is associated withNP---alayer within theDP that lacks number features. This accounts for the number-neutral status of bare nominals. We also show some patterns in languages other than Romance and Germanic that provide further cross-linguistic support for the postulation of capacities as a separate ontological category, specific to a low position within the DP.}} @article{Myers:2007, Author = {Myers, Scott and Hansen, Benjamin B.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.1Myers_Hansen.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {157--193}, Title = {The Origin of Vowel Length Neutralization in Final Position: Evidence from {F}innish Speakers}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {In a broad variety of languages with contrastive vowel length, long vowels are systematically excluded from a domain-final position, and are replaced with short vowels there. This is despite the fact that vowels at the end of a domain (utterance, phrase, word) are generally longer in duration than corresponding nonfinal vowels. We propose that the phonological pattern of final shortening arises diachronically from the effects of final devoicing -- the breakdown in voicing at the end of an utterance. Partial devoicing of the final vowel makes it difficult to hear the end of the vowel and so favors identification of final vowels as short. If language learners generalize such an identification pattern, they have adopted a final shortening pattern. The claim that partially voiceless final vowels tend to be identified as short is supported by a series of experiments with Finnish speakers. The first two experiments establish that there is both final lengthening and final devoicing in the language. Three further experiments show that Finnish speakers identify the length category of partially voiceless final vowels on the basis of the duration of its voiced portion, so that partial devoicing of a vowel increases the probability of its being identified as short.}} @article{Liptak:2007, Author = {Lipt{\'a}k, Anik{\'o} and Zimmerman, Malte}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.1Liptak_Zimmerman.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {103--155}, Title = {Indirect scope marking again: a case for generalized question formation}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {In this paper we describe and analyse a particular scope marking construction that has not received attention in the generative literature so far: scope marking into relative and noun-associate clauses, which we will refer to as adjunct scope marking. In this type of scope marking system, a wh-element in an embedded adjunct clause takes matrix scope when it occurs in a clause that syntactically and semantically modifies a wh-phrase in the matrix. These facts provide unambiguous evidence for the indirect dependency approach to wh-scope marking advocated by Dayal (1994, 2000) where the embedded question provides a semantic restriction for thematrix whelement. Dayal's theory will be extended to provide a compositional analysis of these constructions.

They therefore specify both that the NP to the left is a subject, and that the NP to the right is an object, and they cannot be bracketed uniquely with either. This is shown by the fact that these morphemes are absent when either subject or object position is (structurally and phonologically) absent, for example due to extraction. This is the only morphological case-marking in the relevant languages. The operation inserting such morphemes must have reference to constituent structure (NP), abstract case (subject, object), and linear adjacency. These data increase the evidence that complex case-marking operations can apply in a centrally located morphology component that has simultaneous access to categorial and linear relations. The idea is questionable that such morphological operations take place at a syntax/PF interface, where syntactic categories are first aligned with prosodic phrases, since actual prosodic (e.g. accentual) bracketings do not always coincide with the bracketings relevant to case morphology. This point is made with data from Tamashek (Berber) nominal prefix alternations, preceding the main section on Songhay case marking.}} @article{Giannakidou:2007, Author = {Giannakidou, Anastasia}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.1Giannakidou.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {39--81}, Title = {The landscape of {EVEN}}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {This paper explores the role that the scalar properties and presuppositions of even play in creating polarity sensitive even meanings crosslinguistically (henceforth EVEN). I discuss the behavior of three lexically distinct Greek counterparts of even in positive, negative, subjunctive sentences, and polar questions. These items are shown to be polarity sensitive, and a three-way distinction is posited between a positive polarity (akomi ke), a negative polarity (oute), and a `flexible scale'even (esto) which does not introduce likelihood, but is associated with scales made salient by the context. The analysis is a refinement of Rooth's original idea that negative polarity is involved in the interpretation of English even, and establishes further that the ``negative'' polarity domain of EVEN includes a sensitivity that is not strictly speaking negative (flexible scale esto). The distributional restrictions of EVEN items are shown to follow from distinct presuppositions (positive polarity and flexible scale EVEN), or from their lexical featural specification (negative polarity EVEN), a result that squares neatly with the fact that ill-formedness is systematic pragmatic deviance in the former case but robust ungrammaticality in the latter. This result supports the by now widely accepted view that polarity dependencies are not of uniform nature, and that we need to distinguish presupposition failures (which are weaker and possibly fixable in some contexts) from cases of ungrammaticality which are robust and cannot be fixed in any context (Giannakidou, 2001).}} @article{Embick:2007, Author = {Embick, David}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/25.1Embick.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {1--37}, Title = {Blocking effecs and analytic/synthetic alternations}, Volume = {25}, Year = {2007}, Abstract = {A number of interactions in grammar are referred to as showing blocking effects, typically defined as cases in which the existence of one form prevents the existence of a form that is otherwise expected to occur. Patterns of analytic/synthetic alternation, in which two-word and one-word forms alternate with each other, have been taken to be instances of blocking in this sense. An example is found in the formation of English comparatives and superlatives, where, for example, the synthetic form smarter appears to block the analytic form *more smart. Analytic forms are available in other cases (e.g. more intelligent), such that the interaction between the ``one word'' and ``two word'' forms is crucially at issue. This paper examines English comparative and superlative formation, concentrating on the question of how the morphophonology relates to syntax and semantics. A central point is that in the architecture of Distributed Morphology, these cases do not involve word/word or word/phrase competition- based blocking. Rather, blocking effects broadly construed are reduced to the effects of distinct mechanisms: (1) Vocabulary Insertion at a particular terminal node (morpheme), and (2) the operation of combinatory processes. The paper provides a detailed discussion of the latter type, showing that synthetic comparative/superlative forms are created post-syntactically by affixation under adjacency. Throughout the discussion, questions concerning the status of blocking effects in Distributed Morphology, and those found in analytic/synthetic alternations in particular, play a central role.}} @article{Stepanov:2007, Author = {Stepanov, Arthur}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Syntax}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Syntax/syntax10(1)Stepanov.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {80--126}, Title = {The End of {CED}?

The existence of such languages calls into question the unifying basis for the traditional accounts---namely, the complement/noncomplement distinction that was at the core of these accounts. In this paper I consider a possible extension of a recent minimalist account making use of the complement/noncomplement distinction--- Nunes and Uriagereka (2000)---to the problematic languages and show that it also encounters conceptual and empirical problems.

This process of Mid Vowel Assimilation varies across Mandarin dialects depending on the features involved, the direction of feature spreading, and whether or not a mid vowel is fully or partially assimilated. This article proposes a unified constraint-based account of the variation and typology of Mid Vowel Assimilation across Mandarin dialects. Couched within Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993) and Feature Class Theory (Padgett 1995, 1996), the proposed analysis demon- strates (i) how the interaction of gradient assimilation-related constraints and markedness constraints on feature cooccurrence avoids marked segment types and produces partial assimilation effects, and (ii) how different rankings of the proposed set of constraints generate the variation pattern across Mandarin dialects. To fully account for the typology of Mandarin Mid Vowel Assimilation and the uneven dis- tribution of different types of Mid Vowel Assimilation, I suggest that (i) some assimilation-related constraints can be categorically assessed as a marked option, and (ii) some constraint rankings on markedness, while not universally fixed, can be designated as universal default rankings.}} @article{Kang:2002a, Author = {Kang, Beom-Mo}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Journal of East Asian Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JEAL/JEAL11.4Kang.pdf}, Number = {4}, Pages = {375--398}, Title = {Categories and Meanings of {K}orean Floating Quantifiers -- With Some Reference to {J}apanese}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {This paper aims to give an explicit categorial syntax and formal semantics of various forms of floating quantifiers (FQs) in Korean. Non-case-marked FQs are assigned the category of NP modifier, i.e., NP\NP and this categorization, together with the combinatorial operation of functional composition, can handle the basic cases of subject/object asymmetry. An FQ in front of a transitive verb can compose with the verb, making itself related only to the object, but not to the subject. Case-marked FQs show no such asymmetry and they can be handled when they are assigned cat- egories of VP or TV modifiers. Discourse factors are also relevant for FQs particularly because FQs with discourse markers, which signify some discourse-relevant prominence, enjoy the full freedom of word order as usual adverbs. Non-case-marked FQs can also be used as adver- bials in a strong discourse context such as a ``contrastive'' one or nonconstituent coordination construction, but discourse effects are not as strong in Korean as in Japanese, as shown by still-awkward sentences with topicalized FQs. The absence of discourse restriction of contrastiveness with respect to dative NP hosts is another indication that Korean FQs are less affected by discourse factors than Japanese ones. Discourse factors are more grammaticalized in Korean than in Japanese.}} @article{Bentley:2002, Author = {Bentley, John R.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Journal of East Asian Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JEAL/JEAL11.4Bentley.pdf}, Number = {4}, Pages = {349--374}, Title = {The Spelling of /MO/ in {O}ld {J}apanese}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {The general consensus of Japanese historical linguists is that the orthography in Kojiki (712) preserves more phonemic distinctions than Nihon shoki (720) -- specifi- cally the spelling of two varieties (mwoand mo) of what later merged to become mo -- but the chronological proximity of these two works makes this consensus difficult to accept.

It is shown that an approach that appeals to overt verb raising to account for surprising constituents is inadequate for a number of reasons. An alternative approach is proposed in which surprising constituents are formed by ``oblique movement'' (movement of an element to another element that does not dominate it). Consequences of this proposal are explored for related theoretical and empirical domains.}} @article{Narrog:2002, Author = {Narrog, Heiko}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Journal of East Asian Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JEAL/JEAL11.2Narrog.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {123--167}, Title = {Polysemy and Indeterminacy in Modal Markers -- The Case of {J}apanese \emph{BESHI}}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {The Old Japanese modal suffix beshi deserves special attention for at least two reasons. Firstly, it is one of only a few modal markers throughout Japanese language history that have both deontic and epistemic meaning, which is very common in English and other Indo-European languages. Secondly, it is said to be extremely polysemous. There might be no other modal suffix in the history of the Japanese language that has been associated with such a range and variety of meanings. There are also concrete examples of beshi that are given divergent interpretations in grammatical analysis and Modern Japanese translations. The primary goal of this paper is to provide a principled explanation both for the different ``meanings'' of beshi and for divergent interpretations that are due to indeterminacy. It is argued that Old Japanese beshi from a synchronic point of view basically has only a deontic and an epistemic sense, and other ``meanings'' can be explained either in terms of vagueness or in terms of implicature in specific contexts. Conditions are explained under which indeterminacy between the deontic and the epistemic sense arises and compared with the conditions for indeterminacy and deontic-epistemic polysemy to those observed in the history of modals in English and German. Furthermore an account of the diachronic layering behind the syn- chronic meaning range of beshi in Old Japanese is given. It is claimed that the development of the meanings of beshi does not strictly adhere to the ``deontic-to- epistemic'' pattern frequently found on Indo-European languages.}} @article{Hale:2002a, Author = {Hale, Ken}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Journal of East Asian Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JEAL/JEAL11.2Hale.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {109--122}, Title = {On the {D}agur Object Relative: Some Comparative Notes}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2002}} @article{Simpson:2002c, Author = {Simpson, Andrew and Wu, Zoe}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Journal of East Asian Linguistics}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*JEAL/JEAL11.1Simpson_Wu.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {67--99}, Title = {{IP}-Raising, Tone Sandhi and The Creation of {S}-Final Particles: Evidence for Cyclic {S}pell-{O}ut}, Volume = {11}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {This paper examines how information provided by tone sandhi provides potential insights into processes of movement.

The active grammaticalization patterning offers both a clear insight into the creation of clause/sentence-final particles in SVO languages and also provides strong evidence for the idea of `cyclic Spell-Out'.

This is most relevant in accounting for the different alternations involving /nl/ and /ln/ sequences.

Furthermore, the various uses of -wathat have been identified in the literature, including the thematic and contrastive uses, are brought under a unified system. There are, however, two more general themes that are addressed here. First, it is claimed that, once a principled theory of speech acts is in play, the relative contributions of syntax and semantics to the study of natural language become more easy to distinguish. This provides an antidote to the tendency to syntacticize problems that are properly pragmatic (or pragmaticize problems that are properly syntactic, etc.). The attempt is made to separate these domains without favor. The other theme involves Austin's account of predication in terms of matching types of items and senses of predicates.

In contrast, the Clements-Hume model appears to be able to achieve the same goal without recourse to derivational stages because it is based on the assumption that, in the ways relevant for palatalization, vowels and consonants are characterized by the same features.

Our study is based on the longitudinal data of three children ages 19--32 months, and is to our knowledge the first systematic investigation of the acquisition of Malagasy. The Malagasy voicing system has a distinctive morphology and involves the promotion of an argument (actor, theme, instrument, etc.) to a referentially and syntactically prominent position, typically clause-final.We look at two competing accounts of the Malagasy voicing system, one in which the promoted argument is analyzed as a subject and the promotion operation an instance of A-movement (Guilfoyle, Hung, & Travis, 1992) and a more recent account in which Malagasy is analyzed as a V2-like language in which the promoted argument is a topic and the promotion an instance of A -movement (Pearson, M. (2001); Pearson, M. (2005)). Both analyses have clear implications for acquisition, which we examine in this paper. Our acquisition results favor the analysis of the promoted argument as an A -element. We also show that there is a developmental stage in Malagasy that parallels the root infinitive (RI) stage widely observed in various European languages. Apparent differences between the Germanic RIs and the analogous phenomenon in Malagasy are derived from differences in the functional structure associated with a voicing system as opposed to an agreement system.}} @article{Giorgi:2006, Author = {Giorgi, Alessandra}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/24.4Giorgi.pdf}, Number = {4}, Pages = {1009--1047}, Title = {From temporal anchoring to long distance anaphors}, Volume = {24}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {This paper investigates the distribution of long distance anaphors in two typologically unrelated languages, Italian and Chinese, and shows that in spite of the superficial differences they are ruled by the same grammatical principles.

The possibility of having Caseless indefinites is then argued to follow from lack of a DP projection in Hebrew indefinites. The second part of this article aims to show that an analysis of indefinites in Hebrew as lacking a DP projection is indeed possible and can be motivated on independent grounds.

First, variation results from the presence of MULTIPLE METRICAL SYSTEMS within Finnish. Assibilation and Apocope are metrically conditioned alternations and the segmental variation reflects metrical variation. The metrical analysis explains a number of apparently unrelated phenomena, including typological asymmetries across dialects, quantitative asymmetries within dialects, differences between nouns and verbs, differences among noun classes, and the loci of lexical frequency effects. Second, phonological opacity arises from MORPHOLOGICAL LEVEL ORDERING.

The former is preferred unless copying a single C would give rise to an illicit coda or cluster, in which case CV is copied. In contrast to previous analyses of similar patterns in Tohono O'odham and Lushootseed, I analyze the reduplicant as an infix rather than a prefix. The infixation of the reduplicant can be generated via constraints requiring the first vowel of the stem to correspond to the first vowel of the word. Furthermore, the preference for copying the initial consonant of the word can be generated by extending positional faithfulness to the base-reduplicant relationship. I argue that the infixation analysis is superior on two grounds. First, it reduces the C vs. CV variation to an instance of reduplicant size conditioned by phonotactics. Second, unlike the prefixation analyses, which must introduce a new notion of faithfulness to allow syncope in the base just in the context of reduplication (e.g. ``existential faithfulness'' (Struijke 2000a)), the infixation analysis uses only independently necessary constraints of Correspondence Theory.}} @article{Hall:2006a, Author = {Hall, T.

Coverbs resist extraction of their objects by topicalization or relativization, a fact which has often been explained in terms of a preposition-stranding constraint in accounts of similar facts in Mandarin. However, Cantonese coverbs display the morphosyntactic properties of verbs, suggesting that they cannot be prepositions. In this paper, we propose that coverbs are verbs, and that the relevant extraction constraint is a kind of adjunct island constraint. This proposal is supported with experimental evidence from a sentence judgment task. Two key findings are as follows: (1) listeners judged extraction from a coverb phrase as significantly less acceptable than extraction from a simple clause; (2) listeners judged sentences both with and without aspectual marking (verbal morphosyntax) on the coverb as highly acceptable. Together, these findings support our proposal that coverbs are verbs (not prepositions) and that coverb phrases form a kind of adjunct island. However, we show that existing adjunct island conditions (such as the CED) are not adequate to account for our data. Following Hawkins' (1999) processing-based theory of filler-gap dependencies, we propose a simple, languagespecific formulation of the extraction constraint, and we argue that this constraint is more generally motivated by a processing principle called Avoid Competing Subcategorizers -- one of the same principles that motivates preposition-stranding constraints in other languages. Thus, although object extraction is prohibited by a kind of adjunct island constraint, the function of the constraint in processing efficiency is similar to that of a preposition-stranding constraint.}} @article{Dikken:2006b, Author = {Dikken, Marcel den}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Natural Language and Linguistic Theory}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*NLLT/24.3denDikken.pdf}, Number = {3}, Pages = {689--749}, Title = {\emph{Either}-Float and the Syntax of Co-\emph{or}-dination}, Volume = {24}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {The syntax of either . . . or . . . treats the analyst to two main puzzles: the `either too high' puzzle (either can be dissociated from the contrastive focus, surfacing in positions higher up the syntactic tree), and the `either too low' puzzle (either is apparently too low in the tree, embedded inside the first disjunct).

They originate in a position adjoined to their disjunct, to the contrastive focus or to a higher node on the `h-path' projected from the contrastive focus.

A PC renders focus or contrastive focus to a verb in a given sentence by copying the verb and preposing it. Similar verb focusing constructions have been observed for many West African languages, including Vata and Nweh, as well as for Caribbean Creoles (Koopman 1984, Piou 1982). The PC in TDE is also of theoretical interest when combined with wh-question formation; the wh-subject/object asymmetries explored here provide interesting support for an escape hatch for whphrases in an intermediate position between VP and Tense that is comparable to a VP-adjoined position (Chomsky 1986). Evidence is also provided for a CP-like domain lower in the clause; I argue that both a wh-phrase and a verb focused in a PC have focus features that must be checked in a Focus Phrase (FocP).

Chapter 1 offers a brief introduction into general assumptions of the framework, developed along with a basic HPSG-analysis of German clause structure, and throughout the book the author has made every effort to find a good balance between empirical scrutiny, theoretical explicitness, and accessibility for readers who are not familiar with HPSG.

The challenge is to understand the mechanisms that make this dual functioning possible. Following Landau [Lingua 107 (1999) 1], this paper presents a POSSESSOR RAISING analysis, arguing that the POSSESSOR DATIVE (PD) moves from the specifier of the possessed nominal to a verbal argument position. The analysis is implemented in a dynamic structure-building framework, where heads with their selectional features are introduced in the course of the derivation, and it is in principle possible that an argument that gets merged into the structure to take on one thematic role raises into a newly built sentence domain to fulfill another thematic role. This movement and the resulting double h-role assignment are crucially driven by formal features; that is, both stem from the fact that, in its origin site, the raised argument is not case-licensed. An additional caselicensing head is needed for the derivation to converge. This head is an affectee light verb which assigns inherent dative case to the argument in its specifier. Thus, unlike Landau's account of PDCs in Hebrew, where PDs can be interpreted as affected without actually being h-related to the verb, the analysis here offers an explanation for the crosslinguistically more general case of the PDC, where the PD's role as both possessor and affectee needs to be syntactically encoded.}} @book{Kimenyi:1980, Author = {Alexandre Kimenyi}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Publisher = {University of California Press}, Title = {A Relational Grammar of {K}inyarwanda}, Year = {1980}} @article{Jayaseelan:2001, Author = {Jayaseelan, K.

Second, the overt raising account, which can account for the word order facts, still faces two main challenges; there remain important open questions about verb placement, and though none of the current approaches to extraction can easily explain it, extraction and raising-to-object interact in complex ways that are still not well understood. Third, the movement theory of control, which treats object control in a way parallel to overt raising-to-object, faces not only the challenges to the overt raising account, but several others particular to object control.

Traditionally, Case has been identified as the key to this problem: PRO was argued to bear no Case at all, or some special ( null ) Case. I argue that PRO bears standard case like normal lexical DPs; clear evidence comes from languages with case-concord (Russian, Hungarian, Icelandic). Moreover, PRO (and obligatory control) may occur in finite clauses (Hebrew, Balkan languages). Conclusion: PRO's distribution must be completely divorced from Case, possibly because abstract Case does not exist. The alternative is to tie the distribution of PRO to the specific values of [T] and [Agr] on the I0 and C0 heads of the embedded clause (Landau 2004). A feature-based algorithm predicts the distribution of PRO in a variety of clausal complements. It is shown that the system naturally explains some intriguing correlations between obligatory control and agreement in Basque and Welsh complementation structures.}} @article{Culicover:2006, Author = {Culicover, Peter W. and Jackendoff, Ray}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Syntax}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Syntax/Syntax9(2)_Culicover_Jackendoff.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {131--152}, Title = {Turn Over Control to the Semantics!}, Volume = {9}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {Historically, control in generative grammar has fallen within the province of syntactic theory. One primary reason for this is that Mainstream Generative Grammar (MGG) has imposed a strong uniformity criterion on analyses as a measure of their explanatory adequacy. One aspect of this uniformity criterion, which we call Interface Uniformity, holds that the syntax-semantics interface is maximally simple, in that meaning maps transparently into syntactic structure, and that it is maximally uniform, so that the same meaning always maps into the same syntactic structure. It follows from Interface Uniformity that a nonfinite VP has a syntactic subject that is assigned its external h-role. We argue that this view is most sustainable if one does not take into account the full richness and complexity of control phenomena, but treats control strictly in terms of complementation. When a fuller range of phenomena is taken into account, it appears that it is preferable to ``turn over control'' to the semantics, which is better equipped to capture the facts.We outline how to formulate the syntax-semantics interface so as to get the semantic facts to line up properly with the syntactic facts. This analysis of the interface extends naturally to raising.}} @article{Boeckx:2006b, Author = {Boeckx, Cedric and Hornstein, Norbert}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Syntax}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Syntax/Syntax9(2)_Boeckx_Hornstein.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {118--130}, Title = {The Virtues of Control as Movement}, Volume = {9}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {Control has played an important role in theoretical debates within the Minimalist Program.

In this article, we present experimental evidence from children learning English and Kannada demonstrating that children's indefinites show scopal restrictions parallel to the restrictions they show with other unambiguously quantificational expressions. Children, unlike adults, show a strong preference to assign quantificational expressions surface scope.

It distinguishes three general approaches to the analysis of wanna: a phonological rule, lexicalization, or a derivational rule. Each approach has a different set of strengths, but they all have weaknesses as well. The article then offers a new analysis in terms of REALIZATION, which combines the strengths of all the previous analyses. This analysis, which is based on the theory of word grammar, accounts not only for all the well-known syntactic and morphological constraints on this contraction, but also for a fact that has not been noted before: that, for some speakers, the last vowel alternates in just the same idiosyncratic way as that of to, which suggests strongly that in some sense wanna contains to as well as want. For these (but not all) speakers, the proposed analysis recognizes two words (sublexemes of WANT and TOinf) at the level of syntax and a single form ( wanna , containing variants of want and to ) at the level of form; the relations between these words and forms, and between the forms and their phonological realizations, are defined by a declarative network.}} @article{Giannakidou:2006, Author = {Giannakidou, Anastasia}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/82.3giannakidou.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {575--603}, Title = {\emph{Only}, Emotive Factive Verbs, and the Dual Nature of Polarity Dependency}, Volume = {83}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {The main focus of this article is the occurrence of some polarity items (PIs) in the complements of emotive factive verbs and only. This fact has been taken as a challenge to the semantic approach to PIs (Linebarger 1980), because only and factive verbs are not downward entailing (DE). A modification of the classical DE account is proposed by introducing the notion of nonveridicality (Zwarts 1995, Giannakidou 1998, 1999, 2001) as the one crucial for PI sanctioning. To motivate this move, it is first shown that two solutions in the direction of weakening classical monotonicity do not work: Strawson DE (von Fintel 1999) and weak DE (Hoeksema 1986). Weakening DE systematically either overgenerates or undergenerates, in either case failing to characterize the correct set of licensers. Nonveridicality is introduced as a conservative extension of DE and is shown to account for PIs also in contexts that are not DE (i.e. questions, modal verbs, imperatives, directive propositional attitudes). This theory, augmented with the premise that certain PIs (i.e. the liberal class represented by any) are subject to a weaker polarity dependency identified not as LICENSING but as RESCUING by nonveridicality, explains the occurrence of this particular class with only and emotive factive verbs. Crosslinguistic comparisons illustrate that the occurrence of PIs with only and emotive factives is not a general phenomenon, and further support the dual nature of polarity dependency and the semantic characterization of the elements that license or rescue PIs.}} @article{Kawahara:2006, Author = {Kawahara, Shigeto}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/82.3kawahara.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {536--574}, Title = {A Faithfulness Ranking Projected from a Perceptibility Scale: The Case of [+Voice] in {J}apanese}, Volume = {83}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {Within the framework of optimality theory (Prince & Smolensky 2004), Steriade (2001a,b) proposes the P-map hypothesis, whose fundamental tenet is that the rankings of faithfulness constraints are grounded in perceptual-similarity rankings.

In Japanese loanword phonology, a voiced geminate, but not a singleton, devoices to dissimilate from another voiced obstruent within a single stem. Based on this observation, I argue that the [ voice] feature is protected by two different faithfulness constraints, IDENT( voi)Sing and IDENT( voi)Gem, and they are ranked as IDENT( voi)Sing >> IDENT( voi)Gem in Japanese. I further argue that this ranking is grounded in the relative perceptibility of [ voice] in singletons and geminates, and this claim is experimentally supported. The general theoretical implication is that phonetic perceptibility can directly influence patterns in a phonological grammar.}} @article{Ruiter:2006, Author = {Ruiter, J.

Some authors suggest that this is achieved via lexicosyntactic cues, while others argue that projection is based on intonational contours. We tested these hypotheses in an on-line experiment, manipulating the presence of symbolic (lexicosyntactic) content and intonational contour of utterances recorded in natural conversations. When hearing the original recordings, subjects can anticipate turn endings with the same degree of accuracy attested in real conversation. With intonational contour entirely removed (leaving intact words and syntax, with a completely flat pitch), there is no change in subjects' accuracy of end-of-turn projection. But in the opposite case (with original intonational contour intact, but with no recognizable words), subjects' performance deteriorates significantly. These results establish that the symbolic (i.e. lexicosyntactic) content of an utterance is necessary (and possibly sufficient) for projecting the moment of its completion, and thus for regulating conversational turn-taking. By contrast, and perhaps surprisingly, intonational contour is neither necessary nor sufficient for end-of-turn projection.}} @article{LeSourd:2006, Author = {LeSourd, Philip S.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/82.3lesourd.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {486--514}, Title = {Problems for the Pronominal Argument Hypothesis in {M}aliseet-{P}assamaquoddy}, Volume = {83}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {According to the PRONOMINAL ARGUMENT HYPOTHESIS, the characteristic features of many socalled nonconfigurational languages may be accounted for on the assumption that affixes of verbs or auxiliaries in such languages either function as syntactic arguments or identify null pronouns that fill this role.

The article covers all adjectival inflections, including those of the possessives, demonstratives, interrogatives, and paucal numerals.}} @article{Lehmann:1973, Author = {Lehmann, Winfred P.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Pages = {42--66}, Title = {A structural principle of language and its implications}, Volume = {49}, Year = {1973}} @article{Vennemann:1977, Author = {Vennemann, Theo}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Theoretical Linguistics}, Pages = {227--254}, Title = {Categorial grammar and consistent basic {VX} serialization}, Volume = {4}, Year = {1977}} @incollection{Vennemann:1973, Author = {Vennemann, Theo}, Booktitle = {Syntax and Semantics 2}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Editor = {Kimball, John}, Pages = {1--50}, Publisher = {Seminar Press}, Title = {Explanation in Linguistics}, Year = {1973}} @inproceedings{Wilder:1995a, Author = {Wilder, Chris}, Booktitle = {FAS Papers in Linguistics}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Pages = {132--165}, Title = {Antecedent containment and ellipsis}, Volume = {4}, Year = {1995}} @book{Stockwell:1968, Address = {Los Angeles}, Author = {Stockwell, Robert P. and Schachter, Paul and Partee, Barbara Hall}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Publisher = {UCLA}, Title = {Integration of Transformational Theories of {E}nglish Syntax}, Year = {1968}} @phdthesis{Pollard:1984, Author = {Pollard, Carl}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, School = {Stanford University}, Title = {Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar}, Year = {1984}} @incollection{Partee:1983, Author = {Partee, Barbara Hall and Rooth, Mats}, Booktitle = {Meaning, Use and Interpretation of Language}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Editor = {B{\"a}uerle, R. and Schwarze, C. and von Stechow, Arnim}, Pages = {362--383}, Publisher = {de Gruyter}, Title = {Generalized Conjunction and Type Ambiguity}, Year = {1983}} @incollection{Partee:1976a, Author = {Partee, Barbara Hall}, Booktitle = {Montague Grammar}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Editor = {Partee, Barbara Hall}, Pages = {51--76}, Publisher = {Academic Press, Inc.}, Title = {Some Transformational Extensions of {M}ontague Grammar}, Year = {1976}} @article{Partee:1975, Author = {Partee, Barbara Hall}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Journal = {Linguistic Inquiry}, Number = {2}, Pages = {203--300}, Title = {Montague Grammar and Transformational Grammar}, Volume = {6}, Year = {1975}} @incollection{Montague:1974, Address = {New Haven}, Author = {Montague, Richard}, Booktitle = {Formal Philosophy: Selected Papers of {R}ichard {M}ontague}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Editor = {Thomason, Richmond H.}, Pages = {247--270}, Publisher = {Yale University Press}, Title = {The Proper Treatment of Quantification in Ordinary {E}nglish}, Year = {1974}} @incollection{McCawley:1970, Address = {Waltham, Massachusetts}, Author = {McCawley, James D.}, Booktitle = {Readings in {E}nglish transformational grammar}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:52 -0400}, Editor = {Jacobs, R.

The proposals build on the well-known work of feature geometry in assuming the importance of feature classes in phonology, but differ in that features of a class are targeted directly and individually by constraints (or rules), even when a feature class such as Place is mentioned. Further, constraints mentioning feature classes are gradiently violable. Evidence for this view of feature classes comes from two sources. First, assimilation involving feature classes is sometimes only partially successful; an adequate understanding of such cases requires the proposed view of feature classes. Second, there are broad categories of feature class generalization that require it, including dissimilatory effects usually handled by the obligatory contour principle. Overall, the proposals broaden the explanatory potential of the feature class idea due to feature geometry. At a more general level, the results here suggest that linguistic representations sometimes need to be reconsidered in the context of optimality theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993), since they can effectively function as inviolable constraints and so hinder our understanding of the more subtle kind of phenomena revealed by analyses employing gradiently violable constraints.}} @article{Gordon:2002, Author = {Gordon, Matthew}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/78.1gordon.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {51--80}, Title = {A Phonetically Driven Account of Syllable Weight}, Volume = {78}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {The author proposes that syllable weight is driven by considerations of phonetic effectiveness and phonological simplicity, and that the phonetically best distinctions are those which divide syllables into groups that are phonetically most distinct from each other. Phonologically complex distinctions are those which exceed an upper threshold in the number of phonological predicates to which they refer. It is claimed that languages adopt weight distinctions that are phoneticallymost effective without being overly complex phonologically. Syllableweight thus reflects a compromise between phonetic and phonologicalfactors. The proposed modelof weight further suggests that phonological weight distinctions are ultimately predictable from other basic phonological properties, such as syllable structure.}} @article{Carstens:2002, Author = {Carstens, Vicki}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/78.1carstens.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {3--50}, Title = {Antisymmetry and Word Order in Serial Constructions}, Volume = {78}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {Strict head-final surface order derives from underlying left-headedness in Ijo , a Niger-Congo language of Nigeria. A word order anomaly in Ijo SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTIONS (SVCs) strongly suggests this, and left-to-right asymmetric c-command among internal arguments of SVCs confirms it. The anomaly is universal among surface right-headed languages with SVCs, indicating that deep left-headedness is universal, as antisymmetry theory predicts (Kayne 1994). Assuming complements are in Specs, and that a light verb v selects every VP (Chomsky 1999), I derive VOVO from OVOV by two instances of V-to-v movement. I argue for a nonuniform approach to SVCs, involving relations of both raising (Campbell 1989) and control (Collins 1997).

We focus here on French auxiliaries---the past tense auxiliaries (avoir and e?tre), and the passive auxiliary (e?tre)---which are unique in French in contributing only tense and aspect and triggering obligatory clitic climbing. Three syntactic structures have been proposed for such auxiliaries: a VP complement analysis, a verbal complex analysis, and a `flat' VP analysis. We show here, working within a HEAD-DRIVEN PHRASE STRUCTURE GRAMMAR framework and basing our arguments on classical constituency tests, bounded dependencies, and lesser-known properties of a subset of manner adverbs, that the flat-structure analysis is to be preferred for tense auxiliaries, which take as their complements the bare participle as well as the complements subcategorized by this participle and `inherited' from it. In contrast, the passive auxiliary, which we identify with the copula, has a predicative complement with different realizations: either an ordinary phrase, `saturated' for its complements, or a `partial' complement, where the predicative head lets some or all of its complements be inherited by the auxiliary. Our analysis allows for a solution to the well-known problem of auxiliary selection, which, we argue, should not be taken as an indicator of syntactic structure but is best handled via lexical constraints.}} @article{Gensler:2002, Author = {Gensler, Orin D.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Language}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Language/78.4gensler.pdf}, Number = {4}, Pages = {710--764}, Title = {Why Should a Demonstrative Turn into a Preposition? {T}he Evolution of {W}elsh Predicative \emph{yn}}, Volume = {78}, Year = {2002}, Abstract = {This article is devoted to the anatomy of an unnatural syntactic change.

Some of these properties can be directly related to the distinction between the thetic and the categorical judgment, as understood by Kuroda and Ladusaw. Others, related to plurality and the interaction of quantifiers, provide evidence for an extension of the scope of the distinction and its implementation as a procedural semantic difference. It will be argued that the determiner unos contributes a group discourse referent to a Discourse Representation Structure (DRS). This discourse referent is subject to a no linking constraint, and does not trigger box-splitting of the DRS. This forms the basis for the claim that this plural determiner participates only in thetic judgments. On the other hand, the determiner algunos is not subject to a no linking constraint and may contribute a duplex condition to the DRS. Thus, it can participate in categorical judgments. This type of judgment corresponds to a set of construction rules which yields an updated DRS in which a new discourse referent has been introduced and, in contrast to the thetic judgment, a linking condition and a duplex condition are introduced.

The proposal identifies and analyzes the parameters that induce model shift in subordinated domains.

Adult Catalan does not allow neutral preverbal objects whereas early Catalan seems to allow objects preceding verbs in the very early stages. We analyse the OV sequences found in our data and show how these only show up co-occuring with a certain type of verbs, namely, `telic' verbs. In line with this observation we propose that aspect is a crucial feature of these sequences projecting whenever one of these verbs is selected and providing a landing site for object movement. Another part of the analysis of the OV constructions implies noticing that the morphological make-up of the verbal elements is not always non-finite. The alternation that we observe between VO-OV constructions seems to be determined by the verb type but it is only fully accounted for if we allow for a framework in which the AGR parameter is not yet set. This possibility follows from the bilingualism proposal in Roeper (1999) where child language permits different grammars to co-exist in a particular stage.

The relevance of these contexts is twofold: on the one hand, they exhibit very consistent behaviour across Romance languages with respect to mood selection, in that they always select the indicative in their complement clause, rejecting the subjunctive. On the other hand, their interpretive properties change according to the tense used: when containing a subordinate imperfect indicative tense, dream reports have the property that the dreamed eventuality need not be temporally anchored; at the same time, they do not seem to ascribe any specific attitude to the subject (the dreamer). When containing a non-imperfect indicative tense, temporal anchoring is available, and a particular evidential meaning can be detected, revealing the presence of a speaker-oriented attitude towards the content of the dream. The connection between temporal anchoring and the presence/absence of a propositional attitude will be investigated: semantically, within an extensional, truth-theoretical framework by arguing in favour of a reflexive/tensed-thoughts approach to propositional attitudes; and in its morphosyntactic aspects, by motivating a conception according to which the interaction between the temporal features of T and the features of C provide the interface conditions for the interpretive facts to arise.}} @article{Bernstein:2001, Author = {Bernstein, Judy B.}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Probus}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Probus/Probus13(1)Bernstein.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {1--29}, Title = {Focusing the ``right'' way in {R}omance determiner phrases}, Volume = {13}, Year = {2001}, Abstract = {This article examines constructions involving DP-final demonstratives, possessive adjectives, indefinite quantifiers, and demonstrative reinforcers in several Romance languages. Across these languages the DP-final position of these elements yields a focus interpretation, whereas the prenominal position yields a neutral interpretation. Other approaches to these sorts of facts have (tacitly) treated the two available word orders as equivalent constructions. They have not considered, and so cannot easily account for, the distinct interpretation that each of the word orders yields. Under the assumption that the prenominal position of these elements is basic, the current approach develops the idea that the DP-final element is ``stranded'' DP finally as a result of the leftward movement of a syntactic phrase consisting of an extended NP. The facts examined here recall those characterizing the expression of focus in the Romance clause, recently analyzed as a case of scrambling (Ord{\'o}{\~n}ez 1997, Zubizarreta 1998). If on the right track, the current analysis therefore provides further evidence for the parallelism between noun phrases and clauses. In certain Romance languages, an intermediate (postnominal) position is also available for these DP elements , although the interpretation associated with this position does not exactly match that of either the prenominal or DP-final position. It is proposed that the intermediate position is derived by crossing the noun over the demonstrative (reinforcer), possessive, or indefinite quantifier, whose base positions within DP are relatively high. The prediction then is that only those languages with robust noun movement (that is, movement to a relatively high functional head) will exhibit this word order.}} @article{Sigurd:2004, Author = {Sigurd, Bengt and Eeg-Olofsson, Mats and Weijer, Joost van de}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/58(1)_Sigurd_etal.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {37--52}, Title = {Word Length, Sentence Length and Frequency --- {Z}ipf Revisited}, Volume = {58}, Year = {2004}} @article{Boeckx:2004c, Author = {Boeckx, Cedric}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/58(1)_Boeckx.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {23--36}, Title = {Long-Distance Agreement in {H}indi: Some Theoretical Implications}, Volume = {58}, Year = {2004}, Abstract = {In this paper I offer an analysis ofLong-Distance (Object) Agreement in Hindi that crucially relies on the operation Agree introduced in Chomsky (2000).

The claim essentially draws on the analysis of two elliptical constructions in whose licensing the premodals are unexpectedly involved if one assumes the standard account of their full lexical status. Specifically, VP-ellipsis and directional PPs are investigated. The two phenomena have previously led to contradictory results regarding the status of the premodals. In the present account, an economy driven explanation is proposed, based on an intermediate projection which unifies the two phenomena and gives an account of the patterns of modal complementation.}} @article{Anderson:2004a, Author = {Anderson, John}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/58(3)_Anderson.pdf}, Number = {3}, Pages = {269--287}, Title = {Contrast in Phonology, Structural Analogy, and the Interfaces}, Volume = {58}, Year = {2004}, Abstract = {This paper is concerned with (some of) the evidence for analogies in structure between phonology and syntax, and with (some of) the evidence for the basis for limitations on analogy. The first half of the paper ({\S}{\S}1--3) looks at syllable structure with a view to determining what aspects of syllable structure are contrastive, so basic. It is concluded that, particularly given the need to satisfy sonority, linearity within the syllable is minimally- or non-contrastive, but that the head-based structural relations of complementation and adjunction may be contrastive. {\S}4 argues indeed that phonological (and specifically syllabic) structure displays the same distinctions among complement, adjunct and specifier that is evident in the syntax, and indicates that this analogy is not an isolated case by pointing to a further one involving harmony, a familiar notion from the phonology that can be applied to syntactic phenomena such as sequence of tenses . The paper concludes ({\S}5) with a brief survey of factors limiting structural analogy. These all have to do with the demands of the interfaces of the linguistic with the extra-linguistic: on the one hand, the need for the syntax to represent complex cognitively-based scenes; on the other, the restrictions imposed by the phoneticity of phonology, particularly the requirements of sonority discussed initially.}} @article{Neef:2004, Author = {Neef, Martin}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/58(3)_Neef.pdf}, Number = {3}, Pages = {252--268}, Title = {Segments with Inherently Falling Sonority}, Volume = {58}, Year = {2004}, Abstract = {This paper deals with an inconsistency in the application of the concept of sonority in such non-linear approaches to phonology that make use of both the segmental tier and the skeletal tier. I will argue that these approaches are forced to take the skeletal tier as the relevant level for the application of sonority. However, since long vowels occupy two positions on this tier, they form a sonority plateau, a configuration that is generally forbidden by basic sonority constraints. To solve this inconsistency, I will propose the concept of segments with inherently falling sonority. In addition, I will consider other candidates for elements with inherently uneven sonority. The intricacies of sonority will be discussed considering German as an example, following the assumption that phonological concepts, despite having a universal core, are characterised by language-specific adjustments.}} @article{Manninen:2004, Author = {Manninen, Satu and Nelson, Diane}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/58(3)_Manninen_Nelson.pdf}, Number = {3}, Pages = {212--251}, Title = {What is a Passive?

Levin (1978, 1979 [main text]) concludes, however, that Pseudogapping is transformationally unrelated to both Gapping and VPE. We argue that this conclusion is only partially correct. Gapping and Pseudogapping are transformationally related in that they both involve the application of verb movement, in particular sideward movement of the main verb. We take Johnson's (1994) ATB Movement analysis of Gapping as an important precedent in this regard, and we draw from proposals of Nunes (2001) and Nunes and Uriagereka (2000) for the possibility of sideward movement out of coordinate structures and adjunct clauses. After pursuing the sideward movement approach to Pseudogapping (and ultimately Gapping as well), we outline some important empirical differences between Pseudogapping and VPE that we think raise substantial problems for any analysis that treats Pseudogapping and VPE on a par (e.g., Jayaseelan 1990, Lasnik 1995, 1999a, 1999b). We present evidence for a fundamental syntactic difference between Pseudogapping and VPE, and conclude that the VPE analysis of Pseudogapping cannot be maintained.}} @article{Tavangar:2006, Author = {Tavangar, Manoochehr and Amouzadeh, Mohammad}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/60(1)Tavangar_Amouzadeh.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {97--120}, Title = {Deictic Projection: An Inquiry into the Future-Oriented Past Tense in {P}ersian}, Volume = {60}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {The aim of this paper is to investigate the ways in which the Persian past tense form is projected into the future to designate events, states, and processes. While it must be admitted that the phenomenon under consideration is by no means confined to Persian, its examination in this language will reveal certain characteristics which are likely to contribute to a better understanding of how temporal deixis, together with aspectual and modal meanings, interact with contextual factors to yield socio-culturally relevant utterances. Of special theoretical interest in this respect are the semantic-pragmatic constraints levied, in varying degrees, on the projected tense in terms of negation, pronominal choice, speech act assignment, aspectual character, modal status, and pitch contour. Fundamental to the present study are three assumptions. First, the deictic projection at issue has pragmatic motivations, and, in addition, stems largely from the ontological asymmetry between pastness and futurity. Second, it has an indisputable edge over the other future-indicating devices available to Persian speakers in that it denotes factivity with respect to the occurrence of a situation. And third, it is stylistically marked as it digresses from the normal function of the past tense.}} @article{Osborne:2006, Author = {Osborne, Timothy}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/60(1)_Osborne.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {64--96}, Title = {Parallel Conjuncts}, Volume = {60}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {The paper presents a constraint based in Dependency Grammar (DG), called the Parallelism Requirement (PR).

It states that the conjuncts must be parallel with respect to the number and syntactic function of the roots appearing in them. The term root is defined in terms of dependency structures. After the validity of the PR in English and German is established, the discussion examines the extent to which constituency grammar can explain the parallelism effect. The argument is made that constituency grammar is indeed in a position to express the PR, although doing so requires that certain non-standard assumptions about constituency structures are adopted. Moreover, it is emphasized that the dependency-based approach is preferable due to its paucity of structure.}} @article{Kiguchi:2006, Author = {Kiguchi, Hirohisa}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/60(1)_Kiguchi.pdf}, Number = {1}, Pages = {34--63}, Title = {Phases and Locality Constraints on {A}-Movement in {J}apanese}, Volume = {60}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {This paper explores locality conditions on A-movement in Japanese and their interaction with Chomsky's phases, based on McGinnis (2001, 2004) proposal.

In Sotho-Tswana, object relative clauses are formed by means of clause-initial relative complementisers which agree with the head noun. In contrast, object relatives in the Nguni languages are formed by means of relative concords which are attached to the relative clause predicate and express agreement with the subject. I suggest that the Nguni relative concords are the result of a grammaticalisation process in which early Nguni relative complementisers first turned into clitics and then into relative concords. On the basis of a detailed analysis of this process I further argue that the syntactic difference between Sotho-Tswana and Nguni relative clauses is correlated with a morphological difference between nouns in these languages.}} @article{Toivonen:2006, Author = {Toivonen, Ida}, Date-Added = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Date-Modified = {2007-08-29 09:36:53 -0400}, Journal = {Studia Linguistica}, Local-Url = {file://localhost/Users/kyle/Documents/Bookends/Attachments/*Studia%20Linguistica/60(2)_Toivonen.pdf}, Number = {2}, Pages = {181--219}, Title = {On Continuative \emph{On}}, Volume = {60}, Year = {2006}, Abstract = {This paper examines the verbal particle on in its use as a marker of continuation.

The analysis relates the syntax of the pronoun to the exclusive speaker oriented environment, and treats this construction as a manifestation of the pragmatic input in syntactic computation.}} @article{Folli:2006, Author = {Folli, Raffael
