The Interrogative Left Periphery
Question meaning is built up at three points in the interrogative left periphery. An interrogative is differentiated semantically from a declarative at CP. It becomes a request for information by the speaker, directed toward the addressee, at SAP (Speech Act Phrase). In between is PerspP (Perspective Phrase), which introduces PRO, an individual for whom the interrogative CP is potentially active. PRO is the perspectival center, the individual fro…
On the Syntax of Multiple Sluicing and What It Tells Us aboutWh-Scope Taking
Across many languages, multiple sluicing obeys a clausemate constraint. This can be understood on the empirically well-supported assumption that covert phrasal wh-movement is clause-bounded and subject to Superiority. We provide independent evidence for syntactic structure at the ellipsis site and for locality constraints on movement operations within the ellipsis site. The fact that the distribution of multiple sluicing is substantially narrower…
The Puzzle of Anaphoric Bare Nouns in Mandarin
Jenks (2018) argues that Mandarin bare NPs cannot be classified as definites simpliciter. Adopting the distinction between weak- and strong-article definites in Schwarz 2009, he proposes that Mandarin makes a lexical distinction between the two types of definites: bare nouns are weak definites, demonstratives are strong definites. He further proposes that their distribution is regulated by a principle called Index!. In this article, we first poin…
Polar question particles
Determiners and Bare Nouns
Determiners and bare nouns raise questions about the interface between morphosyntax and semantics. On the syntactic side, the primary issue is whether bare nouns have a null determiner making all noun phrases structurally uniform. On the semantic side, the primary issue involves determining and deriving the range of permissible readings. Of primary significance are the availability of definite and indefinite readings for bare nouns and how such r…
Multiple Wh‐ Questions
This study starts by highlighting the special role that multiple wh‐ questions play in our understanding of the syntax‐semantics interface. Wh‐ phrases require clausal scope under most semantic accounts but there is variation in whether this scope taking can be overt or covert. Multiple wh‐ questions are important because they can provide evidence of these two possibilities within a single language. On the semantic side, the survey pays attention…
Does Hindi-Urdu Have Feature-DrivenWh-Movement to Spec,vP
Manetta (2010) argues that Hindi-Urdu has feature-driven overt wh-movement to Spec,vP, a position from which wh-expressions can take clausal scope. This is argued to provide a unified account of the following aspects of question formation in the language: the tendency of wh-expressions to occur in preverbal position, the possibility of overt long wh-movement, and the use of scope marking to question out of finite complements. Here, I first probe …
Hindi pseudo-incorporation
Rightward Scrambling as Rightward Remnant Movement
Mahajan (1997) and Simpson and Bhattacharya (2003) analyze Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi-Urdu and Bangla as SVO. We argue against this position, drawing on rightward scrambling in Hindi-Urdu to make this point. We propose an account of the phenomenon in terms of rightward remnant-VP movement. This account differs from proposals that posit rightward movement of individual arguments as well as from the antisymmetric proposals mentioned above, …
Number Marking and (in)Definiteness in Kind Terms
The universal force of free choice any
This paper adds to the ongoing debate about the quantificational status of English FC any . It argues that any is a universal, though its universality is such that it can be conjoined with an existential statement. This is established by showing, first of all, that various properties that are amenable to a universal account of FC any remain elusive in recent accounts that treat it as an indefinite. Secondly, it presents a detailed description of …
