Le rôle de l’État dans la régulation des plateformes
Three conceptions of nativism and the faculty of language
La linguistique en toute simplicité / Linguistics, simply
La valeur explicative d'une théorie scientifique repose non seulement sur la quantité des éléments primitifs adoptés (principe de simplicité), mais aussi sur la qualité de ces éléments. En linguistique, les propriétés des substances perceptuelles et conceptuelles des signes offrent une base explicative solide parce qu'elles sont logiquement antérieures à l'objet qui est à l’étude. Ceci est particulièrement important parce que le langage est un ph…

Propriétés des substances, conditions sur la syntaxe et explication en linguistique
In linguistics, explanation is based on whatever initial conditions are imposed on language, and so it necessarily functions within the range of options allowed by the laws of nature. Thus, since syntax is a computational system, it is subject to principles of efficient computation. Moreover, the Faculty of Language is located in human beings, so this means that it is constrained by the conceptual and perceptual systems of human beings. In this c…

The origins of language variation
Linguistic variation derives from properties of the physical and conceptual make-up of human beings which were adapted to produce language. This adaptative approach is contrasted with the Minimalist Program, in which properties specific to language are said to be different from anything found in the organic world (Chomsky 1995). Six basic cases are compared. Whereas the analysis in the Minimalist Program is ultimately a listing of construction-sp…
The concept of 'universal' and the Case of Japanese
Syntax and Human Experience
[Ruwet] raises fundamental questions about the place of grammar in the study of language and provides several studies which suggest the possibility that some core data are outside the realm of grammatical explanation. A very remarkable book, in which the breadth of Ruwet's reflection is both challenging and deeply rewarding. Denis Bouchard, University of Quebec, Montreal
French voici/voilà and the Analysis of pro-Drop
Two peculiar properties of French voici/voilà are shown to be directly related: the fact that they are subjectless verbs follows from their not being marked for tense or subject agreement, although they are interpreted as present indicative. This in turn supports an analysis of the pro-drop phenomenon where empty category subjects are present at all levels in the structure of ‘subjectless’ sentences, albeit not an analysis which has ‘rich agreeme…
