Gender Features and Coordination Resolution in Greek and Other Three-Gendered Languages
Many three-gendered languages have in common that some nouns are assigned conceptual gender – where the value of gender correlates with the interpretation of the noun – while other nouns are assigned arbitrary gender – where there is no such correlation. Strikingly, however, such languages do not always pattern together in how they resolve agreement with gender-mismatched coordinated nominals. If coordination resolution reflects feature represent…
High and Low Arguments in Northern and Pontic Greek
This paper deals with the distribution of the use of the accusative as an indirect object in two major dialect groups of Modern Greek, namely Northern Greek and Pontic Greek. The loss of the dative in Medieval Greek (c. 10th c. AD) resulted in the use of the genitive as an indirect object in the southern varieties and of the accusative in Northern Greek and Asia Minor Greek. As Standard Modern Greek employs the genitive, little attention has been…
Zero-Derived Nouns in Greek
In this paper, we investigate zero-derived nouns based on irregular verbs in Greek. This is an under-explored area in Greek morpho-syntax, and in this paper, we will make three main contributions. First, we will discuss the fact that the overwhelming majority of these nouns are feminine, while neuter nouns are considerably less represented and masculine nouns are almost nonexistent. As feminine is taken to be the semantically marked gender in the…
Two modes of dative and genitive case assignment
In this paper, we compare the properties of dative and genitive objects in Classical vs. Modern Greek. Based on the difference in behavior of dative/genitive objects of ditransitives and monadic transitives in the two periods of Greek which correlates with a range of systematic alternations in the case realization of Modern Greek IO arguments depending on the presence and category (DP vs. PP) of lower theme arguments, we argue that there are two …
A comparative study of English and Greek tough -movement constructions
Dans cet article, nous discutons des constructions à mouvement tough en grec, que nous comparons à leurs équivalents anglais. Nous soutenons que les données du grec plaident pour une analyse en termes de ‹génération de base› des constructions de mouvement tough . Nous proposons, en outre, une explication du fait que très peu de prédicats fonctionnent comme des prédicats tough dans cette langue. Enfin, nous abordons la question du changement diach…
Novel Experiencer-Object Verbs and Clitic Doubling
This article discusses novel experiencer-object verbs (NEOs) and proposes to align their syntax as well as the syntax of nonagentive experiencer-object verbs to the syntax of verbs undergoing the causative alternation under similar restrictions. We provide support for the view that (i) volitional agents do not occupy the same structural position as nonvolitional causers; (ii) VoiceP creates a phase, that is, a domain of compositional interpretati…

Clitic Doubling
In this chapter I investigate the syntax of clitic doubling constructions focusing on the question of variation within and across languages. In the course of the discussion, two different patterns of clitic doubling emerge, with different factors causing variation across languages in each case. In the first case – direct object (DO) clitic doubling – languages vary with respect to whether they permit it: (i) only with pronouns or also with DPs; (…
The Person Case Constraint
This constraint, which is extremely robust cross-linguistically, is known as the person case constraint (PCC), comes in several versions (Strong, Weak, Ultrastrong, and Me-First), and has been related to a number of other phenomena showing restrictions on person agreement. This survey concentrates on different syntactic approaches to the PCC, as these have been developed in the past 15 years or so, focusing on the question of the scope of the con…
External Arguments in Transitivity Alternations
This book is an exploration of the syntax of external arguments in transitivity alternations from a cross-linguistic perspective. The empirical focus is the causative/anticausative alternation and the formation of (adjectival) Passives. The bulk of the discussion, couched within Distributed Morphology, is devoted to the properties of the (anti-)causative alternation, which the text takes to be a Voice alternation. It offers a detailed discussion …
Case alternations in Ancient Greek passives and the typology of Case
This article presents and discusses evidence that genitive and dative objects regularly become nominative in Ancient Greek passives of monotransitives and ditransitives. This is a typologically and theoretically significant state of affairs for two reasons. (i) As is well known, nonaccusative objects are, in many languages, not allowed to enter into Case alternations, a fact that has been accounted for in the government-binding/principles-and-par…

The Subject-In-Situ Generalization Revisited
The goal of this paper is to re-examine the status of the condition in (1) proposed in Alexiadou and Anagnostopoulou (2001; henceforth A&A 2001), in view of recent developments in syntactic theory. (1) The subject-in-situ generalization (SSG) By Spell-Out, vP can contain only one argument with a structural Case feature. We argue that (1) is a more general condition than previously recognized, and that the domain of its application is parametrized…
The properties of anticausatives crosslinguistically
The causative/anticausative alternation has been the topic of much typological and theoretical discussion in the linguistic literature. This alternation is characterized by verbs with transitive and intransitive uses, such that the transitive use of a verb V means roughly "cause to Vintransitive" (see Levin 1993). The discussion revolves around two issues: the first one concerns the similarities and differences between the anticausative and the p…
From hierarchies to features
In the recent literature there is growing interest in the morpho-syntactic encoding of hierarchical effects.The paper investigates one domain where such effects are attested: ergative splits conditioned by person.This type of splits is then compared to hierarchical effects in direct-inverse alternations.On the basis of two case studies (Lummi instantiating an ergative split person language and Passamaquoddy an inverse language) we offer an accoun…
Holmberg’s Generalization and Cyclic Linearization. Remarks on Fox and Pesetsky
Fox and Pesetsky (henceforth F&P) propose an architecture for the mapping between syntax and phonology which relates a number of different constraints on movement to the way in which phrase structure is linearized. They investigate Object Shift (henceforth OS) and Quantifier Movement (henceforth QM) in Scandinavian and argue that the restrictions on these processes, namely Holmberg’s Generalization (HG) effects on OS and what they call ‘‘the inve…

Unaccusativity Puzzle
The phenomenon of unaccusativity is a central focus for the study of the complex properties of verb classes. This book combines contemporary approaches to the subject with several papers that have achieved a significant status even though formally unpublished.
Dimensions of Movement
This volume presents a collection of papers of recent generative research into the properties of phrasal and feature movement, which explore these key syntactic phenomena from different angles and across languages. The papers advance or build on models of movement which capitalize either on generalized feature movement or on generalized remnant movement. Both these approaches attempt to develop a restrictive theory of movement aiming at a simplif…

The Subject-in-Situ Generalization and the Role of Case in Driving Computations
The article establishes a novel generalization concerning the placement of arguments by Spell-Out. It centers on the principles that force arguments to leave the VP across languages. The empirical domain consists of constructions where subject movement is not required for reasons that have to do with the Extended Projection Principle. In these environments and whenever a sentence contains both a subject and a direct object, one of the arguments m…

Toward a More Complete Typology of Anaphoric Expressions
Reinhart and Reuland (1993) propose the following typology of anaphoric expressions: SELF anaphors (+SELF, −R), SE anaphors (−SELF, −R), and pronouns (−SELF, +R). We argue that the Greek anaphor o eaftos tu 'the self his' exemplifies a fourth type, predicted by Reinhart and Reuland's typology but not instantiated in their system: an "inalienable possession" anaphor (+SELF, +R). Within Reinhart and Reuland's framework such anaphors are allowed pro…

Materials on Left Dislocation
Materials on Left Dislocation consists of two parts. Part I contains a selection of the main texts on which our present understanding of the Left Dislocation construction is based. For various reasons most of these texts had never been published, or are published in obsolete places. These articles, by Van Riemsdijk & Zwarts, Rodman, Hirschbuehler, Vat, Cinque and Zaenen, contain the first arguments that pertain to the major questions about Left D…
