Reassessing L2 sensitivity to island constraints: asymmetries between wh-islands and adjunct-islands
Frontiers in Language SciencesThis study investigates Korean L2 speakers' sensitivity to English island constraints, focusing on the widely reported—but theoretically puzzling—asymmetry between wh/whether-islands and adjunct-islands. Using a factorial definition of island effects, we

Active Gap Filling and Island Constraint in Processing the Mandarin “Gap-Type” Topic Structure
Frontiers in Communication, 2021 There is a long-standing debate concerning whether Mandarin topic constructions are movement-derived and form a filler-gap dependency like the English-type topicalization.

Island Constraints and Adjunct & Argument Asymmetry in Turkish
Dilbilim Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2016 Due to the adjunct & argument asymmetry in Turkish, the interpretation of argument wh-words within island structures does not result in ungrammaticality while that of wh-adjuncts results in ungrammaticality (Özsoy 1996, Arslan 1999, Görgülü 2006, Çakır ...

Island Constraints in English and Kurdish
Journal of Raparin University, 2020 In transformational grammar, there are rules such as relativization, questioning and topicalization, in which elements abandon their position and move to the front of the sentence. The present study focusses on certain islands in English and Kurdish and examines whether these islands constrain the extraction of elements in Kurdish or not.

Island Constraints Are Not the Result of Sentence Processing
Proceedings of the Linguistic Society of America, 2017 On the basis of a comparison between sentence judgements in English vs. Akan, we argue that island constraints (positions to which a question word can be linked) cannot be reduced to the effects of the sentence processing mechanism. Questions that violate constraints are judged better in Akan than in English, although the challenge to the sentence ...

The syntax and semantics of Japanese internally- and doubly-headed relatives
Glossa, 2021 This paper proposes novel syntactic and semantic analyses of Japanese IHRCs and of a variety of DHRCs labelled ‘integrated.’ The analyses differ non-trivially from all earlier analyses known to us, both in orientation and in technical implementation, and

The Radical Unacceptability Hypothesis: Accounting for Unacceptability without Universal Constraints
Languages, 2022 The Radical Unacceptability Hypothesis (RUH) has been proposed as a way of explaining the unacceptability of extraction from islands and frozen structures.

Comparing Island Effects for Different Dependency Types in Norwegian
Languages, 2022 Recent research suggests that island effects may vary as a function of dependency type, potentially challenging accounts that treat island effects as reflecting uniform constraints on all filler-gap dependency formation.

Approximating Trajectory Constraints With Machine Learning – Microgrid Islanding With Frequency Constraints [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2021 In this paper, we introduce a deep learning aided constraint encoding method to tackle the frequency-constraint microgrid scheduling problem. The nonlinear function between system operating condition and frequency nadir is approximated by using a neural network, which admits an exact mixed-integer formulation (MIP).

Cognitive Constraints and Island Effects [PDF]
Language, 2010 Competence-based theories of island effects play a central role in generative grammar, yet the graded nature of many syntactic islands has never been properly accounted for. Categorical syntactic accounts of island effects have persisted in spite of a wealth of data suggesting that island effects are not categorical in nature and that nonstructural ...
