English Particle Verbs Prime Double Object Constructions in Production
We report on a production priming experiment (N=238) in which particle verb constructions (Ana lifted up Hsu) prime double object constructions (Ana gave Hsu the book). This result is expected under syntactic models that take the two constructions to share abstract structure, including Small Clause approaches in the tradition of Kayne 1984, 1985. The result is not expressed by models positing no shared structure between the constructions, includi…
Some implications of again-modification for the syntax of English particle verb constructions
This paper examines the way in which scope-taking of again interacts with word order in the English particle verb alternation. Small-clause approaches to the particle verb alternation differ from most competing approaches in taking both verb-particle-object and verb-object-particle orders to contain a result state-denoting small clause. An expectation of this approach on a structural approach to again ambiguity is that both orders should admit re…
The formal heterogeneity of allocutivity
Despite recent growth in formal work on allocutive marking, little work to date has considered the nature of cross-linguistic differences in the syntax of allocutive varieties, and what relationships, if any, exist among them. This paper summarizes recent formal results describing four kinds of variation across allocutive languages: (i) variable root-sensitivity; (ii) variation in allocutive morpheme placement; (iii) differences in allocutive mor…
Cross-Speaker Covariation across Six Vocalic Changes in New York City English
This article examines differences in the way that innovative variants for six vocalic changes in New York City English—fronting of too, raising of price and face, and lowering of bad, thought, and dress—co-occur across speakers and explores social correlates of these patterns of covariation. It reports on an analysis of a recently developed corpus of conversational speech from 140 speakers, which suggests that patterns of covariation across speak…
Embedded allocutivity in Basque
Recent work has described allocutive marking in finite embedded contexts in Tamil and Magahi, where allocutivity interacts with indexical shift. It has been proposed that allocutive marking reflects agreement with a silent addressee-related DP present in all finite clauses even when no indexical shift applies. A prediction of this approach is the possibility of varieties with embedded allocutive marking but no indexical shift. This article argues…
Aspects of change in New York City English short-a
This article focuses on change in the “short-a system” of New York City English (NYCE). Recent results suggest that a complex set of tensing rules traditionally described for NYCE are being replaced by several simpler systems. This article reports on a study of this change using a recently developed large audio-aligned parsed speech corpus (CoNYCE). This change is similar to the simplification reported for Philadelphia by Labov et al. (2016). Unl…
Object symmetry effects in Germanic
This paper focuses on passive symmetry effects in Germanic. We describe two large-sample judgment experiments with native speakers of Norwegian and Swedish, two partially symmetric passive languages. The results fail to support predictions of Anagnostopoulou's (2003) seminal locality approach to passive symmetry in these languages. We propose that constraints on object ordering in these varieties are better modeled on a revised version of classic…
Truncation feeds intervention
Constant effects and the independence of variants in controlled judgment data
This article proposes that Kroch’s (1989) Constant Rate Hypothesis – the generalization that contextual effects tend to be stable in processes of diachronic variation in production data – be extended to synchronic variation in controlled judgment data. Two recent, large-sample judgment experiments are discussed suggesting that shared contextual effects across speakers in acceptability judgments can be used to infer a single abstract source for pa…
Interrogative slifting in English
Interaction of social and linguistic constraints on two vowel changes in northern England
This paper focuses on the way that local social indexicality interacts with principles of vowel change. A combination of real and apparent time data from the northern English dialect of York indicate fronting of tense back vowels in the goat and goose lexical sets, and diphthongization of traditionally monophthongal mid-vowels in the face and goat lexical sets. The latter process of change, a northward diffusion of more prestigious southern forms…
Asymmetrical trajectories
The set of English [+human] pronominal quantifiers has been variable for at least 500 years, with the compound forms – body and – one competing since Middle and Early Modern English. This change has still to run its course (cf. Nevalainen & Raumolin-Brunberg, 2003:78). Using corpora of historical texts, we track the development of these variants alongside the demise of the earlier variant – man . Then, drawing on contemporary and regionally diver…

Suburbanization and language change in Basque
This article reports on a study of standardization and language change in the Basque town of Oiartzun. It presents apparent time evidence suggesting that, while certain local features are giving way to competing standard forms, other emblematic features of the local dialect are not undergoing change. It is argued that the absence of change in the case of emblematic local forms is related to community members' ambivalence toward recent economic an…
Dialect contact in a Southern Basque town
This article describes five dialect-based changes in progress in the Southern Basque town of Oiartzun. Based on data collected in sociolinguistic interviews with thirteen local Basque speakers, this article examines dialectal variation in elements chosen from different parts of the grammar: two lexical items, two morphosyntactic alternations on auxiliary verbs, and a phonological process, apheresis. In particular, several claims are made about di…
