Plural reference dominance, markedness and semantic categorization in Hiaki pluralia tantum
We provide a description and analysis of “pluralia tantum” (PT) nouns in the Southern Uto-Aztecan language Hiaki (Yaqui, Yoeme, YAQ ISO 639-3). We find that these nouns, which require plural morphosyntactic marking regardless of notional number, fall into several semantic categories. We then model the behavior of number marking in Hiaki using a Distributed Morphology framework. We analyze apparent mismatches in the agreement system that prima fac…

A Head Movement Approach to Talmy's Typology
We propose that the well-known verb-framed/satellite-framed variation observed by Talmy ( 1975 , 1985 , 2000 ) is a true syntactic parameter of a well-understood type: a head movement parameter. We claim that it depends on an uninterpretable feature bundled with the particular v head used in change-of-state constructions that forces the head of the Res(ult)P complement of v to undergo head movement to v in Italian. The technical apparatus employe…

Coronado-era Place-names, I. Marcos de Niza in Sonora, and the Occurrence of Yaqui Names in his Relación
Two words used by Marcos de Niza in the first European report on travel north through Sonora (1539) ‘“Sayota” and “Vacapa”’ appear to be traceable to the Hiaki (Yaqui) language. Also, the Coronado expedition's assignment (1540) of the name “Yaquimi” to what is now called the Río Yaqui, in its middle stretch near Onavas, indicates the presence of Hiaki/Yaqui-speakers in that region. These results are used to constrain the likely region of Hiaki/Ya…
In Support of the PHAVE Analysis of the Double Object Construction
Pylkkänen ( 2002 , 2008 ) and Bruening (2010a) present several arguments against the ''small clause'' approach to the double object construction in English, building on the predictions that that proposal makes with respect to the transfer-of-possession entailment, Goal-oriented depictives, nominalizations, subextraction, quantifier scope, and idioms. We argue that the small clause analysis proposed by Harley ( 1995 , 2002 ) in fact makes correct …

On the identity of roots
This paper attempts to articulate the essential nature of the notion 'root' in the morphosyntax. Adopting a realizational (Late Insertion) view of the morphosyntactic model, the question of whether roots are phonologically individuated, semantically individuated, or not individuated at all in the syntactic component are addressed in turn. It is argued that roots cannot be phonologically identified, since there are suppletive roots, and they canno…
External arguments and the Mirror Principle
The syntax of argument structure
This paper provides an analysis of Italian complex predicates formed by combining a feminine nominalization in - ata and one of three light verbs: fare ‘make’, dare ‘give’ and prendere ‘take’. We show that the constraints governing the choice of light verb follow from a syntactic approach to argument structure, and that several interpretive differences between complex and simplex predicates formed from the same verb root can be accounted for in a…

Form and Meaning in Hiaki (Yaqui) Verbal Reduplication
This paper provides a description of the reduplication patterns of Hiaki (also known as Yaqui or Yoeme), based on a corpus of hundreds of reduplicated verbs with example sentences. The various phonological shapes that reduplication can take are described and the morphological, phonological, and lexical factors which affect the particular re- duplicant shape associated with a given verb stem are considered. The primary mean- ings which reduplicati…

Introduction
Introduction
This volume contains articles by Kristín M. Jóhannsdóttir, Ingebjørg Tonne, Mai Tungseth and Anne Tamm on perfectivity and telicity in some of the Nordic languages. In this introduction, we summarise the main claims and conclusions of each paper, and briefly discuss the recurring themes and differences in the analyses proposed in the articles included in this special issue of the Nordic Journal of Linguistics
Causation, Obligation, and Argument Structure
As shown by Kayne (1975), Romance causatives with faire fall into two classes, faire infinitif (FI) and faire par (FP). We argue from Italian data that the properties of the two classes depend on the nature of the complement of fare:FI embeds a vP, FP a nominalized VP. The syntactic and semantic characteristics of these complements account straightforwardly for well-known differences between FI and FP, including the previously untreated "obligati…
Determinants of event type in Persian complex predicates
Wanting, Having, and Getting
This article takes up Fodor and Lepore's (1998) account of the meaning of [want DP]structures, according to which the verb to have is introduced at interpretation. With certain DP complements a want to have DP paraphrase of want DP is ill formed; the correct paraphrase uses get or give. To allow for this, F&L would have to vary the introduced verb depending on the meaning of the DP, but this would make their proposal “co-compositional,” defeating…
Why Is Itthe Ciabut Not *The Nasa? Acronyms, Initialisms, and Definite Descriptions
Using 61 acronyms and initialisms culled from Web sites in May 2003, this study shows that the syntactic behavior of abbreviations from phrases is regular. When a definite description is abbreviated, its syntactic category is predictable, depending on whether the result is an acronym (ERIC,NAFTA) or an initialism (FBI, NSF). Acronyms behave like proper names and drop the definite determiner: “ERIC produces a variety of publications....” Initialis…

Structuring the bundle
This chapter argues for a decompositional approach to morphosyntactic feature bundles, proposing a structured representation where features are organized hierarchically. Harley and Ritter introduce a universal feature geometry, a tree-like structure that specifies the relationships between features and captures natural classes and dependencies. They demonstrate how this geometry can account for various morphosyntactic phenomena, including pronoun…
Person and Number in Pronouns
Person and Number in Pronouns: A Feature-Geometric Analysis Heidi Harley and Elizabeth Ritter The set of person and number features necessary to characterize the pronominal paradigms of the world's languages is highly constrained, and their interaction is demonstrably systematic. We develop a geometric representation of morphosyntactic features which provides a principled explanation for the observed restrictions on these paradigms. The organizat…

Subjects in Japanese and English
Originally published in 1994, this volume shows that the structural relation 'government' holds not only between the verbal head and its object but also between the verbal head and its subject at least at the level of Logical Form in both Japanese and English. The book provides an analysis of complex predicate constructions in Japanese, discusses phrase structure in Japanese and English and develops a theory of binding

Logophors, variable binding and the interpretation of have
The unavailability of the experiencer reading of English have when its subject is coindexed with a logophor in the complement is shown to be the result of a particular licensing condition on the experiencer and locative readings of have. The experiencer or location subject of have must bind a [+R] variable in its complement. Logophors, while variables, are not [+R] in the binding theory as presented in Reinhart and Reuland (1993); hence the exper…
