Abstract The goal of this chapter is to provide a new, refined formal characterization of the locality principle known as Relativized Minimality. At the same time, we will try to show how the study of locality interacts with the “cartographic approach,” the attempt to draw maps of syntactic configuratons as precise and detailed as ...

The Left Periphery and Agrammatism

2014
AbstractData from a study on the comprehension of short and long extractions by four Danish agrammatic patients reveal an interesting asymmetry between subject and object extraction that cannot be explained with canonicity or with trace deletion.

Conditionals, factives and the left periphery

Lingua, 2006
In this paper, I discuss the relevance of the decomposition of CP for the syntax of adverbial clauses. I will show that conjunctions introducing adverbial clauses, such as if, while and since, may select a reduced CP, in which case such clauses lack main clause phenomena (MCP), or the conjunctions may select a full fledged CP, in which case the ...

Topics and the left periphery

2013
Just as the Modern Germanic languages (with the exception of English) have a verb second structure (V2), Old French was a V2 language. In this paper I compare Old French and Modern Germanic and show that they share the basic configuration. I suggest that these languages all have obligatory verb movement to Fin°, and that only material in SpecFocP and ...

Connectivity in left-dislocation and the composition of the left periphery

Linguistic Variation, 2015
This paper proposes a crosslinguistically uniform analysis of Left-dislocation constructions, according to which left-dislocated XPs are elliptical sentence fragments surfacing in linear juxtaposition to their host clause. The analysis is shown to provide a principled solution toCinque’s Paradox: dislocated XPs are extra-sentential constituents akin to
