Modal Merge and Minimal Move for Dislocation and Verb Clustering
نویسنده
چکیده
Apparently non-related phenomena like wh-movement and Dutch verb clustering can be handled as bounded varieties of generalized composition in a categorial framework. This supports the unification of merge and move from an operational point of view. It abstracts away from hypothetical reasoning as an instrument of grammatical deduction.

Dislocation, Clustering and Disharmony
Discontinuities come in different flavours. In minimalistic and previous editions of the generative enterprise, long distance dependencies and discontinutities resulting from verb clustering are analyzed in quite different terms. This paper analyzes wh-structures and crossing dependencies as emanations of a single modalized regime of composition in a combinatory categorial setting.

متن کاملTreating clitics with minimalist grammars
We propose an extension of Stabler’s version of clitics treatment for a wider coverage of the french language. For this, we present the lexical entries needed in the lexicon. Then, we show the recognition of complex syntactic phenomenae as (left and right) dislocation, clitic climbing over modal and extraction from determiner phrase. The aim of this presentation is the syntaxsemantic interface ...
متن کاملThe Inflectional “-y” at the End of of Imperative Verb in Middle (Dari) Persian
In Early Modern Persian prose and verse, verbs with a present stem accompanied by grapheme "-y" have been used to express modal concepts of imperative and command or invocation and request. Researchers, regardless of the historical changes of Early Modern Persian, believe that this structure of subjunctive 2nd person singular has been used to express imperative mood, and that &q...
