Active, middle, and passive: the morpho-syntax of Voice

open access: yesCatalan Journal of Linguistics, 2014
This paper is concerned with the variation found with respect to how languages morphologically mark argument structure (AS) alternations, a variation that I take to be related to the realization of the syntactic Voice head.

Reflexivity in precompact groups and extensions [PDF]

open access: yesTopology and its Applications V.163 (2014), no. 1, 112--127, 2012
We establish some general principles and find some counter-examples concerning the Pontryagin reflexivity of precompact groups and P-groups. We prove in particular that: (1) A precompact Abelian group G of bounded order is reflexive iff the dual group $\hat{G}$ has no infinite compact subsets and every compact subset of G is contained in a compact ...

Reflexivity and adjustment strategies at the interfaces

open access: yesNordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2011
I argue in this work that Reinhart & Reuland’s (1993) conditions A and B hold for Spanish. I provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that this language makes use of both SE and SELF-anaphors.

The Grasp Reflex and Moro Reflex in Infants: Hierarchy of Primitive Reflex Responses [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pediatrics, 2012
The plantar grasp reflex is of great clinical significance, especially in terms of the detection of spasticity. The palmar grasp reflex also has diagnostic significance. This grasp reflex of the hands and feet is mediated by a spinal reflex mechanism, which appears to be under the regulatory control of nonprimary motor areas through the spinal ...

Reflexives and Reflexivity

open access: yesAnnual Review of Linguistics, 2018
This article provides an overview of the various means that languages use to represent interpretive dependencies and reflexive predicates. These means are exemplified on the basis of a broad variety of languages. The patterns are prima facie complex, involving semireflexives, full reflexives, and affixal reflexives. Yet they can be accounted for on the

Faroese long-distance reflexives face off against Icelandic long-distance reflexives

open access: yesNordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2009
Long-distance reflexives (LDRs) in Faroese are often compared to those in Icelandic, and are even considered to have the same distribution (Thráinsson et al., 2004). In this paper I evaluate the extent to which this is true.
