On Psych Verbs and Optional Clitic Doubling in Catalan and Other Ibero-Romance Languages
Catalan Journal of Linguistics, 2022 Although undesired under a theoretical viewpoint, natural languages often show cases of “true” optionality. According to a reformulation of the Interface Hypothesis (Sorace 2006), highly complex constructions are more susceptible to optionality and ...

Decomposing Spanish dative clitics
Borealis: An International Journal of Hispanic Linguistics, 2021 In Spanish, dative clitics have standardly been analyzed differently from accusative ones. The apparent different constraints that regulate each of these clitic doubling constructions have been at the base of the differing analyses.

Clitic placement at the syntax‐phonology interface: A case study of Berber*
Studia Linguistica, Volume 77, Issue 3, Page 615-651, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Berber1 clitics are argued to follow the main verb but may appear in a position preceding the verb in the presence of a Complementiser, Negation or Tense. However, there are cases involving a subset of these categories yet the clitics still follow the verb.

Morphosyntactic Contact in Translation: Greek ídios and Latin proprius in the Bible
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 404-426, November 2023., 2023 Abstract We investigate the possibility that contact with Greek through the translation of biblical texts may have played a role in the development of Latin proprius ‘personal’, ‘peculiar’ into a reflexive possessive adjective. A few centuries earlier, post‐Classical Greek witnesses a similar development with the adjective ídios ‘private’, ‘personal ...

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 513-545, November 2023., 2023 Abstract When linguists make inferences about language contact, control data is required for reliable analysis. Historical data or reconstructions are typically used for that purpose. However, historical data is globally mostly unavailable, and reconstructions are laborious if comparing outcomes of language contact in a typological way.

As most of the corpus studies addressing these issues have been conducted in English, it is unclear whether their results ...

A Cyclic Agree account of the Romance faire–infinitive causative: New evidence from Catalan
Syntax, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 183-222, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Catalan, like Italian and French, displays (notwithstanding certain complications) a pattern in causatives under facere such that the causee can be realized as dative only where its complement is “transitive.” We propose an analysis of this pattern based on Cyclic Agree.
