Invariance in argument realization: The case of Iroquoian
(Linguistic Society of America, 2015)
The relevance of the concepts of local syntactic selection and constraints on locally selected dependents
in modeling how arguments are syntactically realized has been virtually unchallenged
and is assumed to be universal. ...
Linearization-based word-part ellipsis
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
This paper addresses a phenomenon in which certain word-parts can be
omitted. The evidence shows that the full range of data cannot be captured
by a sublexical analysis, since the phenomena can be observed both in ...
Construction-based cumulation and adjunct extraction
(CSLI Publications, 2009)
Previous HPSG accounts of extraction blur the distinction between valents
and adjuncts by allowing verbs to lexically control the modifiers that combine
with their phrasal projections. However, assuming that adjuncts ...
Raising doubts about Russian impersonals
(CSLI Publications, 2004)
The Russian data presented in Perlmutter and Moore (2002) seem to
call into question the standard analysis of raising within Head-driven Phrase
Structure Grammar (HPSG): In Russian, the case marking of the raising ...
Inside-out constraints and Description Languages for HPSG
(CSLI Publications, 1998)
An important contrast between most current syntactic frameworks and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar or Lexical Functional Grammar (hereafter HPSG and LFG respectively) is the common insistence of the latter two on the ...
What does it mean to be a dependent?
(CSLI Publications, 2003)
This paper shows that the Gerund Phrase (GP) in the Spanish Gerund
Construction (e.g., El jefe entr´o a su oficina corriendo, lit. ‘The boss entered
his office running’) is sometimes a complement (in SGCC) and sometimes ...
Coordination of unlikes without unlike categories
(CSLI Publications, 2006)
Several analysis of Coordination of Unlikes have been proposed within
the HPSG framework. In some of these approaches the possible combinations
of ‘unlike categories’ are encoded in the grammar, while other accounts
resort ...
On the Russian hybrid coordination construction
(CSLI Publications, 2007)
This paper discusses a coordination construction that occurs in Russian in
which constituents with different syntactic functions and different thematic
roles are conjoined. These conjuncts are co-arguments of the same ...
Apparent non-constituent coordination in Japanese
(CSLI Publications, 2008)
Coordination in Japanese poses various puzzles which defy the standard
notion of syntactic category. On the one hand, one can conjoin structures
which one usually would not expect to form any constituent, and on the ...
Morphosyntax of Two Turkish Subject Pronominal Paradigms
(North East Linguistic Society, 2000)
This paper begins with a presentation of a split in the morphosyntactic behavior of two
suffixing subject pronominal paradigms in Turkish in section 1. In section 2, we argue
that this split is a result of one paradigm ...
