Two is better than one
Spanish has an arbitrary construction with no overt subject and obligatory plural agreement on the verb. When a secondary depictive predicate adjective appears in this construction, the adjectival agreement is optionally singular for some speakers. This number agreement mismatch reveals that this construction involves two distinct subjects: an implicit argument agent as well as an expletive structural subject. I demonstrate that this agreement op…

Predicate nominals in Tshila
Tshila /tshílà/ is a Kalahari Khoe language spoken in central-southeastern Botswana by approximately 300 people (Schwab & Collins 2024). It is an SOV language. Tshila has a copular predicate nominal construction with the word order [Noun Noun COP]. The nouns in this language can vary in size according to factors such as the projection of phi-feature morphology and the presence of constituent negation and focus. Also possible in Tshila is predicat…
Going ✈️ lexicon? The linguistic status of pro-text emojis
Emojis, introduced in the US in 2011 and now ubiquitous, are a set of iconic expressive symbols that are incredibly widespread in computer-mediated communication (CMC), especially among young people. The majority of linguistic research on emojis focuses only on the semantics; however, emerging data suggest that emojis are far more linguistically interesting than merely their semantic contributions to a sentence. Data from Twitter demonstrate that…
Going city
In certain varieties of Dutch spoken among young people, the preposition and determiner in locative and directional PPs can sometimes be omitted. We argue on the basis of language data taken from Twitter and intuitions of young speakers of Dutch that nominal arguments in these constructions do not have a DP layer, the absence of which leads to a special interpretation. The option to omit the preposition is related to the structural and semantic c…
