open access: yesSyntax, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the lack of consensus on English facts, this study demonstrates that both parasitic gap (PG) and across‐the‐board (ATB) constructions in Mandarin Chinese exhibit parallel effects in variable binding reconstruction, while also displaying asymmetries in gap licensing categories.

Just pair‐merge

open access: yesSyntax, EarlyView.
Abstract Two structure‐building operations are currently posited in minimalist theory: an operation forming sets (set merge), and an operation forming ordered pairs (pair‐merge). I argue that pair‐merge is sufficient to generate syntactic relations, so set merge, also called simple merge, should be eliminated from syntactic theory on grounds of ...

Generating All Permutations by Context-Free Grammars in Greibach Normal Form [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We consider context-free grammars $G_n$ in Greibach normal form and, particularly, in Greibach $m$-form ($m=1,2$) which generates the finite language $L_n$ of all $n!$ strings that are permutations of $n$ different symbols ($n\geq 1$).

open access: yesSyntax, EarlyView.
Abstract We use fieldwork data about cross‐clausal scrambling in Balkar (Turkic) to clarify the nature of movement and its constraints. Balkar has a variety of embedded nominalized clauses, with different subject cases and possibilities for movement.

The syntax of Greek split reciprocals

open access: yesSyntax, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide the first detailed description and analysis of the syntax of the understudied Greek split reciprocal reconstruction. As in other languages, the reciprocal appears to be bipartite consisting of a quantificational distributor (‘the one’) and a reciprocator (‘the other’).

Arguing against obligatory feature inheritance: Evidence from French transitive participle agreement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this article, we accept the view that the relevant type of case/agreement features originate on phase heads, but argue against a strong view of the Percolation Hypothesis on which uninterpretable features obligatorily percolate down from a phase head ...

(Co‐)Reference All the Way Down: A Unified Theory of (Pro) Nominals in Ordinary English

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay joins two themes, both arising from Kripke's inspiring ideas in the theory of reference. The first theme concerns reference in general. The second examines the notion of co‐reference and the role it plays in a unified theory of pronouns for natural language.
