Locative inversion in English *
This article aims at reformulating in more current terms Hoekstra and Mulder’s (1990) analysis of the Locative Inversion (LI) construction, illustrated in (2b) below. The new proposal is crucially based on the assumption that Small Clause (SC) predicates agree with their external argument in φ-features, which may be morphologically reflected, as in the case of adjectival agreement in the Italia...
متن کاملPartial Inversion in English
A typical finite clause in English has a single constituent that serves as subject. This constituent precedes the finite verb in non-inverted clauses like simple declarative clauses, follows the finite verb in inverted clauses like polar questions, agrees in person and number with the finite verb and with a tag subject when a tag is present, undergoes subject raising, and so on (Postal 2004). F...
متن کاملThe limits of syntax in inversion
The study of this phenomenon has a long history in generative grammar, where it has generally been taken to be a quintessentially syntactic phenomenon (see, for example, Kayne and Pollock (2001), Pesetsky and Torrego (2001), Rizzi (1996), and Zubizarreta (2001) for some recent analyses). Here I will argue that in at least some types of Romance inversion, the explanation for why inversion occurs...

متن کاملAn HPSG Approach to English Comparative Inversion
It has been analyzed that the word order of English comparative inversion is analogous to that of other subject-auxiliary inversions in that only a finite auxiliary verb can be followed by the subject. However, English comparative inversion should be distinguished from other inversions because the subject can be located between a cluster of auxiliary verbs and the non-auxiliary verb phrase in E...
