No syntax saltation in language evolution
The Oxford Handbook of Language Evolution
Leading scholars present critical accounts of every aspect of the field, including work in animal behaviour; anatomy, genetics and neurology; the prehistory of language; the development of our uniquely linguistic species; and language creation transmission, and change.
Introduction
"In The Oxford Handbook of Language Evolution, sixty leading scholars present critical accounts of every aspect of the field. Its five parts are devoted to insights from comparative animal behavior; the biology of language evolution (anatomy, genetics, and neurology); the prehistory of language (when and why did language evolve?); the development of a linguistic species; and language creation, transmission, and change. Research on language evolut…

Phrase structure vs. dependency
Most familiar syntactic frameworks recognize the category ‘phrase’, and are built around phrase structure relationships. However, the Word Grammar dependency model does not acknowledge the category ‘phrase’ as a primitive in the grammar; instead, all relationships are word-based, with phrases having no syntactic status. Here, I investigate the theoretical validity of the notion ‘phrase’ by examining the phenomenon in Welsh known as syntactic soft…
The Syntax of Welsh
Welsh, like the other Celtic languages, is best known amongst linguists for its verb-initial word order and its use of initial consonant mutations. However it has many more characteristics which are of interest to syntacticians. This book, first published in 2007, provides a concise and accessible overview of the major syntactic phenomena of Welsh. A broad variety of topics are covered, including finite and infinitival clauses, noun phrases, agre…
Did our ancestors speak a holistic protolanguage
The syntax of Welsh "direct object mutation" revisited
Challenging the syllabic model of 'syntax-as-it-is
At the interface
The Welsh definite article has three surface forms, 'r [r], yr [ər] and y [ə]. Though it might appear that all three forms are derived from a single underlying representation, with the surface forms representing a case of simple (morphophonological) allomorphy, in fact such an account is untenable: in this article we show that the interaction of phonetic, phonological, morphological, and lexical considerations all bear on selection of the correct…

The uniform Case-licensing of subjects in Welsh
This paper investigates the properties of Welsh infinitival clauses within a generative framework. In particular it addresses a long-standing paradox first noted by Borsley (1986), namely that PRO and lexical subjects appear to have an identical distribution in Welsh infinitival clauses. Previous analyses such as Rouveret (1990, 1994), Harlow (1992) and Hendrick (1988) try to predict the distribution of PRO and lexical subjects in Welsh on the ba…
Infinitival Clauses in Breton
In Breton, lexical subjects occur both in finite clauses and infinitival clauses. Within the Principles and Parameters model, the question arises as to how infinitival subjects can be Case-licensed, since the finite Tense element associated with Case-licensing in finite clauses is absent from infinitival clauses. Infinitival subjects are, however, preceded by some prepositional element, and previous accounts have proposed that these are Case-mark…
Essays on grammatical theory and universal grammar
Relativization strategies
This paper is concerned with strategies for relative clause formation, both in the universal and language-specific sense. It builds on the pioneering work of Keenan & Comrie (1977) and proposes some extensions to this work. The basic issues addressed here concern what exactly ‘case-coding’ strategies in relative clause formation are, why languages should use such strategies, and what form the strategies can take. Language-specific illustration is…
VSO word order and consonantal mutation in Welsh
L'A. examine l'ordre des mots en gallois, une langue VSO. Il examine egalement les conditions sous lesquelles la mutation consonantique initiale est declenchee. Il est souvent soutenu, dans la litterature du liage et du gouvernement, que le gallois a un ordre de base SVO et une regle transformationnelle de mouvement du verbe desquels derive la structure de surface VSO. L'A. presente des arguments en faveur d'une analyse VSO, aussi bien pour la st…
