  • 05. Verbal Vp-Modifiers in Samoan Verb Serialization
    VERBAL VP-MODIFIERS IN SAMOAN VERB SERIALIZATION* Jens Hopperdietzel University of Manchester [email protected] This study provides a first investigation of the syntactic and semantic properties of resultative serial verb constructions in the Polynesian language Samoan. Based on syntactic and semantic evidence, I demonstrate that the manner V1 functions as an adjoined event modifier to the causative V2, with further implications for the typology of vP-internal modification. 1. Introduction In Samoan resultative serial verb constructions (henceforth: RSVCs), the initial verb (henceforth: V1) denotes the manner of a causing action, which leads to a change-of-state of the object in which the result state is encoded by a non-initial causative verb (henceforth: V2). The causative verb is derived by the prefix fa’a- (Collins 2017, Mosel 2004, Mosel & Hovdhaugen 1992). (1) a. Sā solo fa’a-mamā e Pita le laulau. SAMOAN PST wipe CAUS-clean ERG Peter ART table.ABS ‘Peter cleaned the table by wiping it.’ b. Sā lamu fa’a-malū e Malia le mea ai. PST chew CAUS-soft ERG Mary ART food.ABS ‘Mary softened the food by chewing it.’ This observation contrasts with RSVCs in other Polynesian languages, such as Niuean (Massam 2013) or Tongan, in which the result state is realized by a stative verb. (2) a. Ne hifi-kū e ia haaku ulu. NIUEAN PST cut-short ERG 3SG GEN.1SG hair ‘She cut my hair short.’ (Massam 2013: 66) b. Kuo vali kulokula e pasikala.

  • 44 Remarks on the Morpho-Syntax of Code-Switching Artemis Alexiadou
    Remarks on the morpho-syntax of code-switching Artemis Alexiadou Universität Stuttgart 1 Introduction The term code-switching (CS) refers to the process of alternating between two or more languages (or dialects). An example of CS is given in (1) which illustrates a Greek-English alternation based on the data collection from Greek-Cypriots in London (Garnder-Chloros 2009: 51): (1) Bori ke na diavazi ke na grafi ala ohi can-3SG and SUBJ read-3SG and SUBJ write-3SG but not ke a hundred percent. and a hundred percent ‘She can read and write but not quite a hundred percent.’ Here, I use the term CS to refer to the utterance-internal juxtaposition of overt linguistic elements from two languages, with no necessary change of interlocutor or topic, following Poplack (2004). For the theoretical linguist, the main question is whether this juxtaposition of the two languages can be explained in the same way as monolingual language structure, i.e. by appealing to general principles and parameters as e.g. proposed in MacSwan (1999). In this paper, I limit myself to the study of noun and verb 'loans'/transfer in German-Greek CS data. First, I identify the patterns of transfer in the data from the point of view of integration of embedded L (German) into matrix L (Greek)1 which will be compared to what is known about other cases of CS involving Greek and English. At first sight, it seems that there is a sharp contrast between nominal transfer as opposed to verbal transfer in the sense that nominal categories show a higher degree of integration.

  • Generative Grammar: a Meaning First Approach
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 23 November 2020 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.571295 Generative Grammar: A Meaning First Approach Uli Sauerland 1 and Artemis Alexiadou 1,2* 1 Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS), Berlin, Germany, 2 English Linguistics, Institute of English and American Studies, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany The theory of language must predict the possible thought—signal (or meaning—sound or sign) pairings of a language. We argue for a Meaning First architecture of language where a thought structure is generated first. The thought structure is then realized using language to communicate the thought, to memorize it, or perhaps with another purpose. Our view contrasts with the T-model architecture of mainstream generative grammar, according to which distinct phrase-structural representations—Phonetic Form (PF) for articulation, Logical Form (LF) for interpretation—are generated within the grammar. At the same time, our view differs from early transformational grammar and generative semantics: We view the relationship between the thought structure and the corresponding signal as one of compression. We specify a formal sketch of compression as a choice between multiple possible pronounciations balancing the desire to transmit information against the effort of pronounciation. The Meaning First architecture allows a greater degree of independence between thought structures and the linguistic signal. We present three arguments favoring this type of independence. First we argue that Edited by: Peng Zhou, scopal properties can be better explained if we only compare thought structures Tsinghua University, China independent of the their realization as a sentence. Secondly, we argue that Meaning Reviewed by: First architecture allows contentful late insertion, an idea that has been argued for in David Adger, Distributed Morphology already, but as we argue is also motivated by the division of Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom the logical and socio-emotive meaning content of language.

The fundamental hypothesis that code-switching should be studied using the same tools that we use for monolingual phenomena is reinforced. Keywords: code-switching; Principle of Functional Restriction; PF Interface Condition; phases 1. Introduction Since the notion of “phase” was introduced to linguistic theory by Chomsky [1], a rich body of work has arisen that demonstrates its usefulness as a descriptive tool in syntax as well as the interfaces of syntax with other linguistic modules (see [2] for a clear introduction to phase theory, arguments and development). However, phases have been so far underused in the linguistic study of code-switching. The only articles that we are aware of that use phases productively are [3–5]. This is despite the eloquent argumentation proposed by Mahootian [6] and MacSwan [7] that any restrictions we find on code-switching should be accounted for using the same tools that we use to account for any other phenomenon of linguistic competence.

Two Mechanisms to Derive Partial Control — Evidence from German Abstract In this paper, we discuss the results of the first large-scale experimental investigation of Partial Control (PC) in German. The results show that Partial Control is indeed available in the language, pace claims to the contrary in the literature. Moreover, they support the existence of two different mechanisms to derive Partial Control in German. While one mechanism is licensed by properties of the matrix predicate (True PC; Landau 2000, 2004, 2015, Pearson 2013, 2016, a.o.), the other mechanism is dependent on the ability of the embedded predicate to occur with a comitative PP.

  • Functional Categories and Clause Structure in a Greek-English Speaking Bilingual Patient with Broca’S Aphasia: Evidence from Adverb Placement1
    Functional Categories and Clause Structure in a Greek-English Speaking Bilingual Patient with Broca’s Aphasia: Evidence from Adverb Placement1 Artemis Alexiadou and Stavroula Stavrakaki Institute of English Linguistics, University of Stuttgart and Center for Developmental Language Disorders and Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Human Communication Science University College London 1. Introduction Recently, types of language impairment associated with damage in Broca’s area have been the focus of an increasing number of cross-linguistic studies. There are at least two reasons for this. First, it has been observed that manifestations of Broca’s aphasia differ across languages, and thus the cross- linguistic evidence is crucial in order to understand better the nature of linguistic disorders in aphasic performance. Second, the Principles and Parameters theory of Universal Grammar (Chomsky, 1981, 1986, 1995; Chomsky & Lasnik 1993) offers a fruitful framework to account for the variation attested in aphasic performance across languages. For instance, preserved or damaged language-particular elements are likely to be due to a retained or not value of a certain parameter in the language in question. A unique opportunity of studying the effect of brain damage to different linguistic systems simultaneously is offered by bilingual and multilingual aphasics. If the particular language structure has an effect on the manifestation of grammatical disorders in Broca’s aphasia (cf. Paradis, 1988), then the study of bilingual aphasics will allow us to investigate which aspects of the linguistic system of languages have been broken down. Therefore, similarities or differences in the structure of languages known by patients may be crucial to grammatical errors produced.

  • Toward a Uniform Account for Scrambling and Clitic Doubling
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Srambling and Doubling ARTEMIS ALEXIADOU & ELENA ANAGNOSTOPOULOU Toward a uniform account of Scrambling and Clitic Doubling* 1. Aims and Background A commonly held view in the literature on Scrambling and Clitic Doubling is that both constructions are sensitive to Specificity.1 For this reason Sportiche (1992) proposes to unify the two, an approach which has become quite standard in the relevant literature ever since.2 However, the claim that clitic doubling is the counterpart of Germanic scrambling has never been substantiated. In this paper we present extensive evidence from Greek that Clitic Doubling has common formal properties with Germanic Scrambling/Object Shift. Our evidence consists mainly of binding facts observed when doubling takes place, which seem, at first sight, to be completely unexpected. On closer inspection, however, it turns out that these facts are strongly reminiscent of the effects showing up in Germanic scrambling. We propose that these properties can be derived under a theory of clitic constructions along the lines of Sportiche (1992) implemented into the framework of Chomsky (1995). Finally we suggest the that the crosslinguistic distribution of Scrambling as opposed to Clitic Doubling should be linked to a parameter relating to properties of Agr: Move/Merge XP vs. Move/Merge Xq to Agr. We show that this parameter unifies the behaviour of subjects and objects * Parts of the material discussed in this paper have been presented at the 11th Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop in Rutgers, the Specifiers Conference at the University of York and the 19th GLOW Colloquium in Athens.
