Swedish VP-Topicalization and Yiddish Verb-Topicalization
In this paper, we consider Swedish Finite VP-Topicalization and Yiddish Finite-Verb Topicalization, which share certain interesting features that have implications for Germanic syntax and for syntactic theory in general. Although neither construction contains a gap, we argue that both are products of Movement, but with a lexically realized trace, and that this phenomenon is crucially related to Movement of finite verbs. The arguments are based on…
Accommodation theory and dialect shift
On pragmatic change
Sarah Gorby, Yiddish folksinger
Gapping and causal implicature
It is shown that Gapped sentences differ from ungapped conjunctions in that the former are not susceptible of causal implicatures, while the latter are, and that this constitutes a potential problem for a Gricean analysis. However, if causal implicatures are defined not on surface syntax but on how the propositions conveyed by surface syntax enter the discourse model, and if the special discourse function of Gapping is taken into account, then it…
Fancy syntax and 'shared knowledge
A Comparison of Wh-Clefts and it-Clefts in Discourse
WH-clefts and it -clefts have long been claimed to be interchangeable. However, an examination of naturally-occurring discourse demonstrates that this claim is incorrect. The presupposed part (WH-clause) of a WH-cleft represents information that the speaker can assume the hearer is thinking about. In one variety of it -cleft, the presupposed part ( that /WH-clause) represents information which the speaker assumes the hearer knows or can deduce, b…
Meaning and Negation
The Syntax and Semantics of Neg-Raising, with Evidence from French
Considerable syntactic evidence from English has been presented in the literature for a rule of NEG-Raising. It is shown here that equivalent or analogous evidence exists in French (time-adverbials, tags, corrective responses, negative particles and polarity items, mood). NEG-Raising and its domain are then reconsidered from a functional perspective, whereby the transformation is shown to be a HEDGING device—operating only in sentences containing…
