Controlling overt subjects in Mandarin
Passives, impersonals and Voice in Sakha
Previous studies on Sakha have diverged on whether to analyze its passives and impersonals as syntactically distinct constructions or not. In this paper, we report a novel variety of Sakha which behaves differently from those recorded in the literature with regard to its passives and impersonals. We argue that in this Sakha variety, the impersonal should be analyzed as an active construction with a null impersonal pronoun, rather than a passive c…
Acquiring recursive structures through distributional learning
Languages differ regarding the depth, structure, and syntactic domains of recursive structures. Even within a single language, some structures allow infinite self-embedding while others are more restricted. For example, when expressing ownership relation, English allows infinite embedding of the prenominal genitive -s, whereas the postnominal genitive of is much more restricted. How do speakers learn which specific structures allow infinite embed…
Controlling overt subjects in Mandarin
Overt controlees have been observed in different languages, and previous proposals diverge in whether to analyze them as lexicalized PROs or not. In this study, I present new evidence from Mandarin for non-PRO overt controlees in finite control. This study also demonstrates a structural difference between exhaustive control and partial control, where the partial reading arises from an associative morpheme, thus providing new perspectives for PC t…
