Second, children use do as a light verb to overtly express the concept of action, which is ‘compressed’ in the verbal structure and left silent in standard adult English. We r…
Complements and modifiers: Implications for typologies of pronouns
This paper argues for a distinction between two categorially distinct types of personal pronouns in natural language. It demonstrates that overt nominal content surfaces as (i) a complement or (ii) a modifier of a personal pronoun. The distinction in the way nominal content merges is reflected in two types of pronouns. Pronouns taking nominal complements are full-fledged determiners, while pronouns surfacing with nominal modifiers are pronouns pr…

As any approach to negative concord and negative indefinites needs to a…
