Language Use and Linguistic Structure
The editors are grateful to all those who have helped make the fifth volume of the Proceedings of the Olomouc Linguistics Colloquium (and the ninth volume in the whole series) a reality.Above all, as always, we would like to thank all the authors for both their enthusiastic participation in the conference and their cooperation in the time-consuming editorial process.We would also like to express our immense gratitude to all the reviewers who devo…
Adjectival and Analytic Passives
Analytic adjectival passives are common in Indo‐European. The participle around which they are constructed has a stative or property interpretation, unlike verbal (“eventive”) passives (whether analytic or synthetic). Like verbal passives, their defining characteristic is that their surface subject does not have the same thematic role θ (often agent) as subjects of corresponding actives (section 1). Other notable properties are that, unlike verba…
Double Object Constructions
This chapter outlines the issues that have dominated the research on double object constructions, focusing on the following questions: (i) what is the structure of double object constructions?, (ii) what is the relationship between the double object construction and its PP dative counterpart?, (iii) what are the constraints on double object constructions?, (iv) what is the crosslinguistic variation in the availability and the syntax of double obj…
Anglicized Norse, or Anything Goes
This response mostly addresses the comments, but its main point is that 11th c. “language contact” syntactic changes suggest that Norse was expanding while West Saxon was contracting
English as North Germanic
The present article is a summary of the book English: The Language of the Vikings by Joseph E. Emonds and Jan Terje Faarlund. The major claim of the book and of this article is that there are lexical and, above all, syntactic arguments in favor of considering Middle and Modern English as descending from the North Germanic language spoken by the Scandinavian population in the East and North of England prior to the Norman Conquest, rather than from…
Middle English V2
The new hypothesis that Middle English descends syntactically from Norse has been strongly contested by several specialists in ME syntax. One counterargument contends that ME Verb-Second patterns with Old English in sharing Verb-Third with OE but not Norse. The present paper argues that a Mainland Scandinavian adverb så ‘so’, which appears after scene-setting adverbials (mostly PPs), is in SPEC(IP) and there blocks the common and expected UG orde…
The phonological basis of Latin case patterns
This study focuses on accounting for allomorphy in Latin case/number inflection. It attributes essentially all of it to the influence of adjacent features of standard segmental phonology on morphemes expressing case assignment. Indeed, other languages lead linguists to expect that allomorphy at a stem-suffix border can depend on any feature of a final vowel: ±Low, ±High, ±Round, ±Back, ±Consonantal or ±Syllabic. Empirically, it turns out that no …
Indirect passives and the selection of English participles
Projecting indirect objects
L'article etudie le mouvement de l'objet indirect dans le cadre de la grammaire universelle. L'auteur propose une representation universelle de l'objet indirect et fournit une analyse complete de la derivation transformationnelle et de l'interpretation syntaxique des datifs
Subcategorization and syntax-based theta-role assignment
A Unified Theory of Syntactic Categories
