Indexicality and left-periphery
According to recent proposals in formal syntax, the left-most position in the C(omplementizer)-layer is dedicated to the representation of the context of utterance (call this hypothesis LP). This idea has had little impact on semantic theories of indexicals. The reason is that indexicals are regarded, after Kaplan’s (1989) Logic of Demonstratives (LD), as directly referential and rigid. However...
متن کاملThe Left and Right Periphery in Dutch
This article discusses the information-structural status and the syntax of left and right dislocation constructions in Dutch. Four orthogonal information-structural features are proposed, and their distribution is systematically investigated. Furthermore, it is argued that hanging topic left dislocation, backgrounding right dislocation and afterthoughts are a particular kind of parenthesis. The...
متن کاملThe Center and Periphery of Composite Graphs
The center (periphery) of a graph is the set of vertices with minimum (maximum) eccentricity. In this paper, the structure of centers and peripheries of some classes of composite graphs are determined. The relations between eccentricity, radius and diameter of such composite graphs are also investigated. As an application we determine the center and periphery of some chemical graphs such as nan...
متن کاملDecomposing the left periphery : dialectal and cross-linguistic evidence
I will argue in this paper that the left periphery of the clause is morphosyntactically more articulate than usually revealed by its surface form, and that this form strongly resembles the surface form of languages which lack a left-peripheral encoding of the relevant features altogether. Important clues in favor of this connection are provided by dialects which show forms of so-called doubly f...
متن کاملNominal Semantics in the Left Periphery in German and Italian
In this paper, we will see if it is possible for bare plurals to appear in the topic positions in German and Italian. Moreover, we will compare bare plurals with definite plurals in the topic position in different constructions creating and sustaining the left periphery (together with possibly different types of movements): Topicalization (including Italian " Left Dislocation " , ILD hereafter)...
