Subject-object asymmetries in Persian argument ellipsis and the anti-agreement theory
Glossa, 2016 We investigate the distribution of argument ellipsis in Persian in the context of the recent debate concerning the derivation of null arguments. Using sloppy/quantificational interpretations of elided arguments, we show that Persian exhibits subject ...

Brazilian Portuguese argument ellipsis
Isogloss, 2023 The present study puts forward a novel analysis of argument ellipsis (AE) in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), according to which AE in BP takes place in a clitic doubling configuration, where the clitic is a phonologically null clitic and AE targets the ...

Approaches to head movement [PDF]
, 2015 Heads can be spelled out higher than their merge-in position. The operation that the transformationalist generative literature uses to model this is called head movement.

VP-Ellipsis is not licensed by VP-Topicalization [PDF]
, 2012 Starting from the observation that the constraints on VP-ellipsis (VPE) closely match those on VP-topicalization (VPT), Johnson (2001) proposes a movement account for VPE: in order for a VP to be deleted, it must first undergo topicalization.

Short answers in Scottish Gaelic and their theoretical implications [PDF]
, 2016 This article presents an analysis of a novel short answer strategy in Scottish Gaelic, called the Verb-Answer, which differs from standard fragment answers in allowing us to directly observe some of the clausal structure in which it is embedded.

Matrix Model of Chern-Simons Matter Theories Beyond The Spherical Limit [PDF]
, 2018 A class of matrix models which arises as partition function in U(N) Chern-Simons matter theories on three sphere is investigated. Employing the standard technique of the 1/N expansion we solve the system beyond the planar limit.

Concerning the quark condensate [PDF]
, 2003 A continuum expression for the trace of the massive dressed-quark propagator is used to explicate a connection between the infrared limit of the QCD Dirac operator's spectrum and the quark condensate appearing in the operator product expansion, and the ...

Menagerie of AdS$\boldsymbol{_2}$ boundary conditions [PDF]
, 2017 We consider different sets of AdS$_2$ boundary conditions for the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the linear dilaton sector where the dilaton is allowed to fluctuate to leading order at the boundary of the Poincar\'e disk.
