A story of perfect agreement in Latvian
This paper investigates the syntax of the Latvian present perfect within the Minimalist Program, adopting an exoskeletal perspective on morphosyntactic structure. While cross-linguistically the perfect is associated with readings of current relevance, experientiality and universality, Latvian…

The subject/object asymmetry revisited: comprehending relative clauses with psychological verbs in Spanish
This study outlines an auditory comprehension task of relative clauses with Argentine Spanish object-experiencer psychological (e.g., gustar ‘to like’) and activity (e.g., sonreír ‘to smile’) predicates. Our results show that in the case of activity predicates, subject relative clauses were easier…

Subjective syntax. Fronted and non-fronted French de nouveau ('again')
While the left periphery of French sentences has been associated with pragmatic functions such as focalization and topicalization, a unified account of fronting phenomena is still lacking. This study examines the fronting of the iterative adverbial de nouveau (‘again’), a construction whose…

Predicational copular clauses in Igbo
This paper examines binominal predicational copular clauses (PCCs) in Igbo, a Benue-Congo language, which exhibits a distinction between two copulas, bụ́ and dị́. By exploring the syntactic and interpretational behaviour of these constructions, the paper proposes that Igbo PCCs provide evidence for…

Using Temporal Stability to Probe the Syllabification of Medial Geminates: Evidence from Moroccan Arabic
This paper investigates whether the syllabification of medial geminates can be probed using temporal stability measures (Browman & Goldstein 1988; Goldstein et al. 2007). Theoretical accounts treat medial geminates as either heterosyllabic (VCi.CiV; Levin 1985; Hayes 1989a) or tautosyllabic…

Substantiating substance free phonology: Evidence from the neurobiology of phonology
A central goal of the substance-free phonology (SFP) framework is to identify how much abstraction from phonetic detail is present in human phonological representations. One large challenge, however, is identifying clear neurophysiological evidence for such abstract representations, largely because…

Stylistic applicatives: a lens into the nature of anticausative SE
This paper examines an understudied syntactic phenomenon in Chilean Spanish: stylistic applicatives. This construction involves the appearance of the form LE alongside dative clitics in marked anticausative contexts. The pattern displays several puzzling properties, the most striking being that the…

Lexical P or functional Mood? Grammatical categories and mechanisms of clausal adjunction
The paper discusses mechanisms of clausal adjunction, that is, transforming a clause into a modifier with a specific interpretation (purpose, temporal, causal, etc.). It focuses on infinitival rationale clauses in Mari (Uralic), which can be headed simultaneously by a marker identical to the dative…

Featural Relativized Minimality in silence: the acquisition of sluicing in Italian
This paper investigates the acquisition of elliptical indirect wh-questions, i.e. sluicing, by Italian preschool children. The goal is to determine whether the locality principle of featural Relativized Minimality (Rizzi 2013, 2018) applies independently of lexicalization, thereby constraining…

Animacy restrictions without animacy features: The case of strong pronouns in French and Spanish
When used as complements in prepositional phrases, French (and to a certain extent also Spanish) strong and null pronouns seem to differ in animacy: Typically, strong pronouns have human antecedents and null pronouns inanimate ones. This raises the question of whether animacy features are part of…

Multiple sources of movement-derived resumption: Evidence from Atchan
This paper argues for the existence of multiple mechanisms in the grammar that can give rise to resumption in syntactic movement. Empirical motivation for this split comes from extraction patterns in Atchan (Kwa, Côte d’Ivoire), where PP subextraction and subject extraction behave differently: all…

Prosodic anchoring in Basque cluster simplification
Consonant cluster simplification in Basque depends on the prosodic domain. Simplification across morpheme boundaries is obligatory while simplification across word boundaries is optional. Moreover, strident-affricate clusters inside words are simplified by deaffrication, while phrase-internally…

Este hombre or el hombre este? Semantic factors defining pre- or postnominal demonstrative constructions
This study focuses on the relationship between the semantic features of nouns and the pre-nominal vs. post-nominal demonstrative construction in European Spanish. Saying este hombre or el hombre este may convey different meanings, with the latter hypothesised to reflect negative emotional valence…

Head movement and motion events in Takituduh Bunun
The aim of this paper is to explore the morphosyntactic and semantic properties of the Takituduh Bunun (Austronesian: Central Taiwan) motion prefix u-, glossed as MOT. One central function of this prefix is to encode translocative motion. It can attach to a general locative marker, location nouns…

Subject to change: Agreement and Case
In contemporary colloquial Hebrew, unaccusative verbs may fail to exhibit ϕ-agreement with their subject when the latter appears postverbally, but not when it appears preverbally. To resolve disagreements regarding the role that intervention may play in licensing this lack of agreement, we…

VP ellipsis and argument structure alternations: evidence from Muira Dargwa complex predicates
In this paper, I investigate the properties of an elliptical construction in the Nakh-Daghestanian language Muira Dargwa, in which only part of a complex predicate goes missing. I show that this process has a number of common features with Verb Phrase Ellipsis in English and related phenomena in…

Cross-clausal movement and its limits
Constraints on movement are of central concern to syntactic theory. Recent work has focused on the relationship between the height of the landing site and locality restrictions. Keine (2020) argues that the higher the landing site the fewer locality restrictions are imposed on the movement (“higher…

Making the remarkable regular: 'Marked absolutive' in Nias
This paper re-examines the unusual ‘marked absolutive’ argument marking pattern in Nias Selatan. While previous works propose that Nias instantiates a ‘marked absolutive’ case pattern (Brown 2001; 2005; Baker 2015), this paper argues against this approach. Instead, Nias’ argument marking system is…

Transitivity in flux: the role of Voice and v in the syntax of Dutch (change-of-)location verbs
Dutch location and change-of-location verbs exhibit seemingly contradictory properties, with characteristics of transitives and unaccusatives mixed. While base verbs like vallen ‘fall’ are unaccusative, some of their particle and prepositional derivatives (binnen+vallen ‘invade’, aan+vallen…

Wh-interrogatives in Camuno
This study examines wh-interrogatives in Camuno, an endangered Northern Italian dialect. While similar constructions have been addressed in the literature, our analysis offers a novel contribution by exploring successive-cyclicity, formal feature checking, and the interactions with the LF and PF…
