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…
Voice and Little v and VO–OV Word‐Order Variation in Chinese Languages
This article addresses some issues related to Voice and little v. It does so by discussing and analyzing the variation that exists in the Chinese language family with respect to object placement (VO versus OV). It turns out that this variation can be accounted for straightforwardly as long as we assume, first, that Voice and v are sometimes split and sometimes bundled, even within one language, and, second, that Voice does not always select vP; i…
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…
Classifiers and DP
Wu and Bodomo (2009) argue against claims made in Cheng and Sybesma 1999 . Gebhardt (2011) has contested their arguments related to the status of classifiers and the question whether all nouns in Chinese are mass. In this reply, we discuss some of the points Wu and Bodomo raise, arguing that (a) sortal classifiers are not lexical elements; (b) generic interpretation is not the same as kind interpretation; (c) demonstrative noun phrases do not hav…
D is for Demonstrative – Investigating the position of the demonstrative in Chinese and Zhuang
One notable difference between the Chinese nominal phrase and the Zhuang nominal phrase is that in Chinese the demonstrative appears phrase-initially while in Zhuang it appears phrase-finally. In this article, we attempt to derive the different orders of nominal elements in Chinese and Zhuang using the same base order: with the demonstrative generated low. We adopt a base structure in which two D-related projections are involved: DetP, which imme…

The dissection and structural mapping of Cantonese sentence final particles
This paper explores the possibilities of dissecting the particles that we find in sentence final position in Cantonese into sub-syllabic semantic units. After characterizing the 40-odd most common particles, we study groups of particles, which share one feature (e.g., initial g-) to see what semantic feature they have in common, as well as groups of minimal pairs (gaa3-gaa2 and ge3-ge2) to find out whether there are any correlative systemic seman…

Bare and Not-So-Bare Nouns and the Structure of NP
This article examines the distribution and interpretational variability of bare nouns and [classifier+noun] phrases in Cantonese and Mandarin. We argue that bare nouns are never bare in structure and that [classifier+noun] phrases may have more structure than just Classifier Phrase. We show that the lack of articles and number morphology in Cantonese/Mandarin leads to many interesting differences between Chinese-type languages and English-/Italia…
