Resumption and Island-Hood in Hausa
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, I shall discuss the status of Hausa resumptive pronouns. I shall argue that the asymmetry between island-sensitive wh-extraction and island-insensitive relativisation is best captured at the filler site, rather than at the gap site. The analysis proposed here builds crucially on recent HPSG work on island-insensitive rightward movement, arguing in favour of anaphoric processes within a theory of extraction.

Resumption and Extraction in an Implemented HPSG of Hausa
In this paper, we describe the treatment of extraction in HaG, an emerging computational grammar of Hausa, concentrating on the intricate patterns of interaction between resumptive and gap strategies. We shall argue with Tuller (1986) that Hausa resumption (both overt and covert) opens up the possibility for relativisation only to escape well-attested extraction islands in the language. As sugg...

Against this background, these constructions raise three problems for syntactic analysis: (i) a locality (backtracking) problem (‘How can the information that a resu...
