Microvariation in Celtic Relatives
1. Introduction: The syntactic effects of relativisation in Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic vary in a complex and potentially baffling way between the languages and across their dialects. The crucial components of this variation are resumptivity, " wh-agreeing " complementizers, a differential treatment of locality domains, and variation in the availability of pied-piping. In this paper we arg...
متن کاملMicrovariation as Diachrony: A View from Acquisition
This paper discusses some microvariation found in main clause wh-questions in Norwegian dialects, where V2 (verb-second) word order occurs alongside non-V2. The microvariation is related to the type of wh-constituent present and is argued to represent different stages of a diachronic development (see also Vangsnes 2005, Westergaard 2005). The paper investigates a corpus of spontaneous speech fr...
متن کاملMicrovariation in object positions : Negative Shift in
In the Scandinavian languages, sentential negation must be licensed outside VP, necessitating leftward movement of negative objects, Negative Shift (NegS). While string-vacuous NegS is possible in all Scandinavian varieties, there is a fair amount of cross-linguistic variation as to non-string-vacuous NegS. In particular, the varieties contrast in which constituents can be crossed by NegS and w...
متن کاملMicrovariation as Diachrony: A View from Acquisition
Based on spontaneous speech data from adults and children in an acquisition corpus, this paper discusses ‘optional’ verb-second (V2) word order in wh-questions in present-day Norwegian dialects, arguing that the variation is due to a diachronic change in progress. The argument is based on the nature of the variation and the frequencies with which the different wh-questions are attested in typic...
متن کاملEpidemiologic consequences of microvariation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Evidence from genotype-phenotype studies suggests that genetic diversity in pathogens have clinically relevant manifestations that can impact outcome of infection and epidemiologic success. We studied 5 closely related Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains that collectively caused extensive disease (n = 862), particularly among US-born tuberculosis patients. METHODS Representative iso...
