Incomplete Category Fronting in German without Remnant Movement
Incomplete category fronting in German has been argued to involve movement of a constituent containing a trace (Thiersch 1985; Webelhuth and den Besten 1987; G. Müller 1996). In this paper, we show that the two kinds of examples used as key evidence for such remnant movement, partial-VP and “partial-NP” topicalization, do not motivate an unbounded dependency theory complex enough to license fro...
متن کاملStylistic fronting as remnant movement
This paper presents a novel analysis of the phenomenon of stylistic fronting in Icelandic. It is argued that stylistic fronting is not a head-movement operation, but rather phrasal movement to subject position. In many cases, however, independent factors determine evacuation of the phrase prior to raising, i.e. the fronted phrase can be a remnant. It is shown that this approach can account for ...
متن کاملWithout Remnant Movement, MGs Are Context-Free
Minimalist grammars offer a formal perspective on a popular linguistic theory, and are comparable in weak generative capacity to other mildly context sensitive formalism. Minimalist grammars allow for the straightforward definition of so-called remnant movement constructions, which have found use in many linguistic analyses. It has been conjectured that the ability to generate this kind of conf...
متن کاملEven-Focus and VP-Fronting in Mandarin Chinese
1. The Puzzles The goal of this paper is to account for the semantics-syntax mismatch and the optionality on the LF-PF mapping in Mandarin lian...dou VP-focus constructions. Specifically, I propose that the observed puzzle in this paper can be explained with the Copy Theory (Chomsky (1995), Bobaljik (2002), and others) and the theory in Bobaljik and Wurmbrand (2008) on LF-PF mapping. In Mandari...
متن کاملNegation, VP Ellipsis, and VP Fronting in English : A Construction-HPSG Analysis
It is well-known that the English auxiliaries are sensitive to the so called NICE (Negation, Inversion, Contraction, and Ellipsis) phenomena. Based on these empirical properties of auxiliaries, this paper argues for the existence of the construction aux-headph(rase) whose subtypes include negation-ph, inversion-ph, ellipsis-ph, vp-filler-ph, and the like. Each of this subtype has its own constr...
