French subject island constraint?

Lingvisticae Investigationes, 2020
Summary We present new experimental results (corpora and experiments) showing that extraction out of subject, compared with extraction out of object, obeys a pragmatic constraint and not a syntactic constraint. We show how such a constraint can be formalized in an HPSG grammar of French which ...

Island Constraints: An Introduction

1992
Island constraints have formed a central component of grammatical theory since the ground breaking work of Ross (1967) developing a proposal in Chomsky (1964). The papers collected in this volume address island constraints from a variety of theoretical linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. They result from a conference held at the University of

Island Constraints at Eighty

1992
Sue Kemper and coworkers at the University of Kansas have documented marked age-related declines in the complexity of adults’ language. Studies of adults’ diary entries (Kemper, 1987a) reveal age-related declines in the complexity of elderly adults’ written language (cf. Figures 1–3).

Constraint-based voltage island partitioning

2007 IEEE Northeast Workshop on Circuits and Systems, 2007
Among the different methods of reducing power, the voltage island technique is gaining in popularity for core- based SoC design. Assigning cores to the different supply voltages and early voltage island analysis are two key steps in the overall design process.

Island constraints and scope

2005
AbstractThis chapter explores the relevance of information structure and processing demands in an explanation of constraints on movement (island constraints) and constraints on relative scope assignment. Previous accounts are expanded on in order to give a motivated account of a wide range of facts, including an analysis of the ditransitive ...

Island constraints and overgeneralization in language acquisition

Cognitive Linguistics, 2015
AbstractAmbridge and Goldberg (2008) found that long distance dependency (LDD) questions (e.g., Who did she mumble that she saw?) do not seem to be formed by analogy with similar, more frequent sentences of the same type (e.g., What do you think X?; What did he say X?), but, rather, that such questions are acceptable to the extent that the main verb ...

Nonsyntactic Explanations of Island Constraints

Annual Review of Linguistics, 2016
The explanation of island phenomena has been a central feature of formal grammatical theory practically since its inception. However, a growing number of linguists have provided explanations for these phenomena that are not based on purely syntactic constraints.

No Variable is an Island: Computational Complexity and Island Constraints

1992
What constitutes knowledge of language? On one view, it is our ability to pair sound and meaning, ultimately, an information-processing task. This chapter explores one part of that task, the computational implications of locality and island constraints.

Microgrid Dispatch With Frequency-Aware Islanding Constraints

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2019
This letter describes an enhanced multi-period dispatch model for microgrids, in which frequency-aware islanding constraints are established to ensure microgrids with the capability to ride through unplanned islanding events. Rather than specifying the upward/downward primary reserve requirements as fixed amounts, the proposed dispatch scheme ...

Dietary Opportunities and Constraints on Islands

2015
AbstractThis chapter considers the advantages of islands as analytical units and the benefits of multi-proxy approaches to diet reconstructions. An overview of some common historical trends in Pacific Island diets is provided, followed by more detailed examination of two southern Cook Island sequences (Mangaia and Aitutaki Islands) in Polynesia ...
