Indeterminacy by underspecification
We examine the formal encoding of feature indeterminacy, focussing on case indeterminacy as an exemplar of the phenomenon. Forms that are indeterminately specified for the value of a feature can simultaneously satisfy conflicting requirements on that feature and thus are a challenge to constraint-based formalisms which model the compatibility of information carried by linguistic items by combining or integrating that information. Much previous wo…
On the Nature of the Syntax-Phonology Interface: Cliticization and Related Phenomena (review)

Determiner agreement and noun conjunction
Determiner-noun agreement in English and many other languages appears to be straightforwardly describable; singular determiners go with singular nouns, and plural determiners go with plural nouns. The situation is more complicated with coordinated nouns, however, since unexpected agreement patterns often result. Our theory makes the correct predictions for English and other languages by combining two crucial insights: the dual nature of agreement…
The Semantics of the Russian Comitative Construction
Against li lowering in Bulgarian
Lowering in overt syntax is known to be problematic as it involves movement into a non c-commanding position; i.e., it violates the ECP by precluding the trace left by movement from being properly governed. Putative examples of overt syntactic lowering (e.g., English Infl onto main verbs) have recently received an alternative explanation in terms of non-overt, LF-movement of V0 to I0 (Chomsky, 1993). A further step in eliminating pre-Spell-Out lo…
