Category-specific effects in Welsh mutation
In this paper we investigate category-specific effects through the lens of Welsh mutation. Smith (2011) and Moreton et al. (2017) show that English distinguishes nouns and proper nouns in an experimental blending task. Here we show that Welsh distinguishes nouns, verbs, personal names, and place names in the mutation system. We demonstrate these effects experimentally in a translation task designed to elicit mutation intuitions and in several cor…
Messy entanglements
The paper engages with a variety of data around a supposedly single biomedical event, that of heart transplantation. In conventional discourse, organ transplantation constitutes an unproblematised form of spare part surgery in which failing biological components are replaced by more efficient and enduring ones, but once that simple picture is complicated by employing a radically interdisciplinary approach, any biomedical certainty is profoundly d…
Phonological restrictions on lenition in Scottish Gaelic
There has been extraordinary attention devoted to the Celtic mutations over the years, with various authors arguing for phonological, morphological, or lexical treatments (and various blends thereof). Strikingly, this literature is virtually bereft of any mention of the phonological restrictions that can sometimes limit the applicability of mutation. In this article, we provide a detailed experimental and corpus-based investigation of the phonolo…
Vowel insertion in Scottish Gaelic
Scottish Gaelic has been cited as providing an instance of vowel excrescence (Hall 2006). One of the defining properties of excrescent vowels is that they are phonologically inert and are not motivated by – nor do they contribute to – the syllable structure of a language. In this paper, we report on a series of experiments which tap into native speakers' intuitions of syllable structure in Scottish Gaelic. Insofar as intuitions about syllable cou…

Formal Approaches to Function in Grammar
The contributions making up this volume in honor of Eloise Jelinek are written from a formalist perspective that deals with stereotypically functionalist questions about language. Jelinek's pioneering work in formalist syntax has shown that autonomous syntax need not exist in a vacuum. Her work has highlighted the importance of incorporating the effects of discourse and information structure on the syntactic representation. This book aims to invo…
Formal approaches to function in grammar
Argument hierarchies and the mapping principle
As is well known, in many languages–such as Lummi and Dyirbal–we find a split in case marking, where third person and other non-local arguments take an Ergative/Absolutive marking, and local persons (1st and 2nd persons) take a Nominative/Accusative pattern. Argument
On the Definition of X0 and XP
This article argues for an underdetermined theory of phrasality where bar-level does not directly correlate with grammatical behavior. Carnie presents evidence from mismatches between bar-level and grammatical function in several languages, including Irish and Tagalog non-verbal predication structures, Irish construct state nominals, and Persian nominals. This challenges traditional X-bar theory and suggests a more nuanced approach to phrase stru…
Two Types of Non-Verbal Predication in Modern Irish
The number of copular constructions found with non-verbal predicates in Universal Grammar has recently been a matter of some controversy. Traditional theories have claimed that there are two constructions: an equative—with two argument NPs—and predicative—with a single argument and a non-verbal predicate. Recently this bifurcation has been challenged by authors who claim that equative constructions show asymmetries similar to those found in predi…
