The Layered Syntactic Structure of the Complementizer System: Functional Heads and Multiple Movements in the Early Left-Periphery. A Corpus Study on Italian [PDF]
In this paper we document the developmental trajectory of the complementizer system (CP-system) in Italian by looking at the earliest spontaneous production of eleven young children, whose transcriptions are available on CHILDES.

Subject Gaps Revisited: Complement Clauses and Complementizer-Trace Effects [PDF]
This study investigates how filler-gap dependencies associated with subject position are formed in online sentence comprehension. Since Crain and Fodor (1985), “filled-gap” studies have provided evidence that the parser actively seeks to associate a wh ...

On the position of ECM subjects : a case study from Japanese
On the basis of new empirical data from Japanese, this paper argues that in the ECM construction where CP is projected in the embedded clause, the embedded subject undergoes A-movement to Spec of embedded CP, but not to the matrix object position.

Complementizer agreement is not allomorphy: A reply to Weisser (2019)
Weisser (2019) reanalyzes the Breton rannig, Busan Korean interrogative complementizer alternations, and West-Germanic complementizer agreement as allomorphy instead of agreement, and proposes a set of diagnostics to distinguish allomorphy from agreement.

Complement in trauma—Traumatised complement? [PDF]
Physical trauma represents a major global burden. The trauma‐induced response, including activation of the innate immune system, strives for regeneration but can also lead to post‐traumatic complications. The complement cascade is rapidly activated by damaged tissue, hypoxia, exogenous proteases and others.

SUBSTITUTING COMPLEMENTS [PDF]
The presence of multiple sellers in the provision of (nonsubstitutable) complementary goods leads to outcomes that are worse than those generated by a monopoly (with a vertically integrated production of complements), a problem known in the economic literature as complementary oligopoly and recently popularized in the legal literature as the tragedy of

In this paper we prove that if $A$ and $B$ are infinite subsets of positive integers such that every positive integer $n$ can be written as $n=ab$, $a\in A$, $b\in B$, then $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{A(x)B(x)}{x}=\infty $. We also prove many other results about sets like this.

The acquisition of questions with long-distance dependencies [PDF]
A number of researchers have claimed that questions and other constructions with long distance dependencies (LDDs) are acquired relatively early, by age 4 or even earlier, in spite of their complexity.

Questions with long-distance dependencies: a usage-based perspective [PDF]
Attested questions with long-distance dependencies (e.g., What do you think you’re doing?) tend to be quite stereotypical: the matrix clause usually consists of a WH word, the auxiliary do or did, the pronoun you, and the verb think or say, with no ...
