CLiFF Notes: Research In Natural Language Processing at the University of Pennsylvania Abstract The Computational Linguistics Feedback Forum (CLIFF) is a group of students and faculty who gather once a week to discuss the members' current research. As the word "feedback" suggests, the group's purpose is the sharing of ideas. The group also promotes interdisciplinary contacts between researchers who share an interest in Cognitive Science. There is no single theme describing the research in Natural Language Processing at Penn. There is work done in CCG, Tree adjoining grammars, intonation, statistical methods, plan inference, instruction understanding, incremental interpretation, language acquisition, syntactic parsing, causal reasoning, free word order languages, ... and many other areas. With this in mind, rather than trying to summarize the varied work currently underway here at Penn, we suggest reading the following abstracts to see how the students and faculty themselves describe their work. Their abstracts illustrate the diversity of interests among the researchers, explain the areas of common interest, and describe some very interesting work in Cognitive Science.

  • The Ups and Downs of Head Displacement Karlos Arregi Asia Pietraszko
    The Ups and Downs of Head Displacement Karlos Arregi Asia Pietraszko We propose a theory of head displacement that replaces traditional Head Movement and Lowering with a single syntactic operation of Generalized Head Movement. We argue that upward and downward head displacement have the same syntactic properties: cyclicity, Mir- ror Principle effects, feeding upward head displacement, and being blocked in the same syntactic configurations. We also study the inter- action of head displacement and other syntactic operations, arguing that claimed differences between upward and downward displacement are either spurious or follow directly from our account. Finally, we show that our theory correctly predicts the attested crosslinguistic variation in verb and inflection doubling in predicate clefts. Keywords: head displacement, Mirror Principle, VP-ellipsis, do-sup- port, predicate clefts 1 Introduction The status of displacement operations that specifically target heads has been hotly contested. While some authors have highlighted formal similarities with phrasal movement (e.g., Koopman 1984, Travis 1984, M. Baker 1988, Lema and Rivero 1990, Rizzi 1990, Koopman and Szabolcsi 2000, Matushansky 2006, Vicente 2007, Roberts 2010, Harizanov 2019, Harizanov and Gribanova 2019, Preminger 2019), others have argued that at least some cases of head displacement are not the result of the same type of process as phrasal movement (e.g., Chomsky 2001, Hale and Keyser 2002, Harley 2004, Platzack 2013, Barrie 2017, Harizanov and Gribanova 2019).
