On the syntax of cross-categorial reflexive marking in Khalkha Mongolian
This paper investigates cross-categorial reflexive marking (CCRM) in modern Khalkha Mongolian, where the reflexive possessive ( refl.poss ) morphology appears in nominal and certain clausal domains to license subject-oriented interpretation. We argue that CCRM reduces to binding: refl.poss realizes agreement with a null minimal pronoun bound from v , the head that introduces the subject. This minimal-pronoun analysis unifies reflexive and control…
(Non-)Intersective adjectives and root suppletion
In this paper I examine certain gradable adjectives in Serbian, whose suppletive comparative forms display unexpected semantic properties. In particular, while these adjectives are ambiguous between intersective and non-intersective readings in the positive form, their suppletive comparative and superlative forms are limited to the non-intersective interpretation. These facts show, I argue, that in a theory like Distributed Morphology either adje…
A Cyclic and Multiple Agree account
On binary features and disagreeing natural classes
In this paper we offer new arguments for bivalence of morphological features. In the domain of person, we argue in support of the system using the features [±speaker] and [±hearer], on the basis of plural marking in Cheyenne. In the domain of gender, we argue in support of the system using the features [±masculine] and [±feminine], on the basis of gender agreement in Serbian coordinate structures. The property of binary systems crucial for our pr…
Investigations on mixed agreement
Phases, Reflexives, and Definiteness
This paper investigates a puzzling correlation between two seemingly disparate phenomena: the crosslinguistic distribution of reflexive possessives and definiteness marking. As observed in Reuland 2007, 2011 and supported here by additional crosslinguistic evidence, reflexive possessives are available only in languages that either lack definiteness marking or encode definiteness postnominally. Languages that have prenominal (article-like) definit…
Binding and the Structure of NP in Serbo-Croatian
On the basis of binding facts, I argue that Serbo-Croatian (SC) does not project DP and that DP is not a universal property of language. I show that a number of binding contrasts between English and SC follow straightforwardly from independently motivated differences in their nominal structure, most notably from the assumption that DP is present only in English. I also discuss in detail the potential significance of this puzzling set of facts for…
