Verb order and head movement

1991
This paper will focus on the treatment of so-called verb movement phenomena within non-transformational approaches to grammar, namely Categorial Grammar (CG) and Head Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). We will discuss a number of recent proposals put forward by categorial grammarians, including one of the approaches taken within the LILOG project,

Long Head Movement? Verb movement and cliticization in Croatian

Lingua, 1994
Croatian, along with other Slavic, and some Romance languages, has type of verb-fronting — the "Long Head Movement" (LHM) construction — in which a non-finite verb raises to C0 across a finite auxiliary, in apparent contravention of the Head Movement Constraint.

Verb-movement

2019
The chapter begins with a very brief excursus into Davidsonian event semantics, explaining the basic motivation for positing event variables, as well as ‘separation’ of θ‎-roles from predicates. It then develops the TP-Denotation Hypothesis, i.e. the idea that events are denoted through the Tense feature.

After detailing a descriptive sketch of Kashmiri V2, this chapter examines the category Comp and reveals two functions that are, cross-linguistically, associated with it: clause-type (Mood) and subordination marking. Under the assumption that mood (clause-type) marking is universally required, a parametric account of V2 is proposed that generalizes ...

Verb seconding in Old English: verb movement to Infl

The Linguistic Review, 1993
In this article, evidence is presented to contradict some hypotheses of verb seconding as verb movement to Comp analysis for Old English : it is demonstrated that in general case, verb seconding in Old English main clauses involves verb mouvement to clause-medial Infl rather than to Comp, and that verb seconding to Infl applies not only in main clauses

On the scope of verb movement in Irish

Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, 1996
This paper is concerned with one aspect of the syntactic processes which derive VSO order in (Modern) Irish. Analyses which appeal to fronting of the finite verb have played an important role in recent theorizing about the VSO clausal pattern. A question which has resisted resolution, however, is the question of what the target-position for this ...

Verb Movement in Narrow Syntax

Studia Linguistica, 2018
Abstract I argue that verb movement should be derived in narrow syntax. The derivational system of Labeling Algorithm proposed by Chomsky (2013, 2015) allows movement to occur in narrow syntax without recourse to any movement‐triggering features, contra Chomsky (2001, 2004 ...
