On the Symmetry of V2 in Yiddish and Some of Its Consequences for Extraction
This paper examines the distribution of V2 in Yiddish and its effects on extraction. Specifically, we show that both Spec-to-Spec antilocality (Erlewine 2020) and minimality (Rizzi 2006) constrain wh -extractions from embedded clauses in Yiddish. This explains the pattern of that -trace effects in Yiddish, as well as the apparent absence of an escape hatch in certain constructions
Some Remarks on Fox and Pesetsky: ‘‘Cyclic Linearization of Syntactic Structure’’
Fox and Pesetsky (F&P) make the claim that certain constraints on Object Shift and Quantifier Movement in Scandinavian can be explained within their model of the mapping between syntax and phonology. Among the salient features of this model are: Spell-out occurs phase-by-phase (as in recent work by Chomsky 2000, 2001a,b), and linearization relations established at each Spell-out point must be preserved (F&P’s property of Order Preservation). As F…
