Functional constraints on inversion in English and Farsi
In this paper we demonstrate that discourse-functional constraints on inversion in Farsi correspond to those on inversion in English despite differences in word order. Farsi canonically exhibits SXV word order, but permits a marked ordering of XSV. Although this word order is like that of English topicalization, it does not share the discourse function of topicalization in English; instead, Farsi XSV word order corresponds functionally to English…
Pragmatic constraints on the verb in English inversion
Many researchers have argued that the verbs appearing in English inversion can be characterized as belonging to a particular syntactic or semantic class. For example, it has been claimed that such verbs are exclusively unaccusative (Levin, 1983; Coopmans, 1989; Hoekstra and Mulder, 1990; Watanabe, 1994, inter alia), exclusively presentational (e.g., Bresnan, 1994), or exclusively verbs of existence or appearance (e.g., Penhallurick, 1984). A stud…
Definiteness and the English Existential
Numerous attempts have been made to place restrictions on the occurrence of formally definite NPs in English existential there- sentences. The wide range of definite NPs found in this construction, however, precludes any (noncircular) characterization of such a definiteness effect based on linguistic form alone. Nonetheless, previous functional analyses of definites in there -sentences have also failed to account for all of the problematic data i…
