This paper offers novel insights on articlelessness in noun phrases in Dutch and German headlines. Modified noun phrases that lack a determiner in headlines exhibit adjectival agreement that cannot be explained if one assumes an article that is phonologically null or that has been PF-deleted. We describe the pattern, consider different analytical options and eventually conclude that the interpretation, distribution as well as the observed adjecti…
Reprise fragments in English and Hungarian
Reprise fragments in English and Hungarian
We present a comparative analysis of English and Hungarian reprise fragments. We argue that reprise fragments should be afforded the same theoretical treatment as standard (i.e. nonreprise) fragments. Assuming that standard fragmentary answers and questions are remnants of an ellipsis operation that applies to a clause, this entails that reprise fragments are also remnants of clausal ellipsis. We show that the prevailing approach to standard frag…
Nuclear prominence in ellipsis
This paper investigates the reason why aggressively non-D-linked items such as wh-the-hell (WTH) are allowed in swiping, but not in sluicing. Investigating the potential syntactic, semantic and prosodic licensors of WTH in sluicing and swiping in the British English variety, we conclude that syntactic or semantic constraints cannot be the source of the difference. Instead, we propose a novel prosodic account in which the WTH must satisfy the pros…
A structural account of the difference between achievements and accomplishments
This paper offers an analysis of ka 41 , an aspectual element in Changsha Xiang Chinese. It is argued that this element occupies a position in the inner-aspectual structure of the clause, between the higher aspectual marker ta 21 and the lower elements expressing a lexical result (like clean in wash clean ). On the basis of its co-occurrence with various verb types, we treat ka 41 as an achievement marker: when present, it blocks any reading in w…
Movement and deletion after syntax
In this paper we study the interaction between ellipsis and inflectional morphology and put forward a generalization about ellipsis blocking the application of some morphological operations. Working in the Distributed Morphology framework, we will demonstrate this generalization in the realm of NP ellipsis. We will show that NP ellipsis can lead to stranded affix filter violations, and that there are various strategies languages can resort to in …

Contrast and Island Sensitivity in Clausal Ellipsis
This paper offers a comprehensive and uniform theory of island repair in clausal ellipsis (sluicing and fragments). We show that the correct generalization defines the repairing and the nonrepairing types ofTPellipsis in terms ofcontrastivity:TPellipsis withcontrastiveremnants does not repair islands, whereasTPellipsis withnoncontrastiveremnants does. Contrary to the influential account of Merchant (), we base our explanation for the island sensi…
Sluicing inside relatives
This paper contributes to current advances in the cross-linguistic variation of syntactic contexts that allow sluicing. We investigate a relatively rare sluicing strategy: TP-ellipsis inside relative clauses. We analyse this phenomenon in Gungbe based on Van Craenenbroeck and Lipták’s (2006) implementation of the [e]-feature characteristic of sluicing
The syntax of emphatic positive polarity in Hungarian
Correlative topicalization
This article takes a close look at correlatives in Hungarian and shows that they occupy a particular space in the typology of correlatives: Hungarian correlativization is solely used as a left-peripheral discourse strategy, which will be evidenced by the fact that correlatives display properties of topics, both when it comes to syntax and discourse. Concerning their discourse interpretation it will be argued that correlatives in Hungarian are abo…
V-stranding ellipsis and verbal identity
This paper shows that the identity condition that characterizes V-stranding ellipsis is not verbal and does not only characterize syntactic heads. In some contexts, this type of ellipsis can strand phrasal material distinct from verbs that complies with the identity condition. The kind of contexts in which this can be attested are contexts in which ellipsis elides a TP licensed by a polarity focus head Σ 0 . This finding has important theoretical…
Strategies of wh-coordination
This paper presents an overview of the cross-linguistically available strategies used in the formation of questions with coordinated wh-expressions. It offers a systematic characterization of the existing surface patterns of wh-coordination and the syntactic strategies underlying these, and presents typological generalizations on the distribution of these strategies, based on a cross-linguistic survey involving 12 languages. It will be pointed ou…

Pronominal doubling under predicate topicalization
Indirect scope marking again
In this paper we describe and analyse a particular scope marking construction that has not received attention in the generative literature so far: scope marking into relative and noun-associate clauses, which we will refer to as adjunct scope marking . In this type of scope marking system, a wh -element in an embedded adjunct clause takes matrix scope when it occurs in a clause that syntactically and semantically modifies a wh -phrase in the matr…
Word order in Hungarian exclamatives
This paper gives a syntactic overview and analysis of exclamative constructions in Hungarian. Its main purpose is to describe word order variation in exclamative clauses, in comparison with other sentence types. The formal properties of exclamatives that will be discussed here have important consequences for the theories of exclamatives and exclamativity in general. The empirical findings will force one to reconsider the syntactic theory of excla…
The crosslinguistic syntax of sluicing
This paper deals with an elliptical construction in Hungarian that to our knowledge has not received any attention in the theoretical literature so far. It involves the deletion of a relative clause with the exclusion of the relative pronoun and one more remaining constituent. We show that this construction should be analyzed as an instance of sluicing. The theoretical approach we provide for these sentences is an adapted version ofMerchant's (20…
Relativization strategies in temporal adjunct clauses
This article takes a close look at the internal structure of temporal adverbial clauses in a number of unrelated languages, with a goal of uncovering the syntactic variation in these. The focus of discussion will be on temporal clauses that take the form of free relatives . It will be shown that there are minimally two different free relative strategies that can be found in temporal adverbial clauses: an ordinary free relative strategy with a gap…
On the correlative nature of Hungarian left-peripheral relatives
This paper takes a close look at the properties of Hungarian relative clauses that occur in the left periphery of the main clause, preceding a (pro)nominal associate. It will be shown that these left-peripheral relative clauses differ in many ways from relative clauses dislocated on the right periphery, as well as from relative clauses embedded under a (pro)nominal head. To capture the precise syntax of these left-peripheral clauses, these will b…
Conjoined questions in Hungarian
IntroductionIn this paper I discuss conjoined multiple questions in Hungarian, which come in two varieties.In one we find conjoined wh-items in a preverbal position.In the other variety, we find one wh-item in preverbal position and another one or other ones in postverbal position, introduced by a coordinator és "and" element.While other, non-conjoined types of multiple questions have been studied in more detail (see for example Horvath 1986, É.K…
