This comparative syntactic study offers an alternative account of analyzing Inclusory Plural Pronominal Constructions (IPPCs), which § I wish to thank Edith Moravcsik, Vilma Eőry, András Bárány, Balázs Surányi, Egor Tsedryk, Halldór Sigurdhsson, Anders Holmberg for their valuable comments on earlier versions of this paper. I also thank Olga Kagan f...

This comparative syntactic study claims that the possessor of Russian and Hungarian BE-possessives neither originates nor lands in [Spec,VoiceP], the designated structural position of external arguments since Kratzer (1996). Possessive sentences universally describe a state with two eventuality participants, the possessor and the possessee (Stassen...

While Hungarian 3SG 1 individual reference null pronominals are in free variation with their lexical counterparts, 3SG generic reference null pronominals do not show such variation. This follows from the fact that Hungarian 3SG generic null pronominals behave like bound variables, i.e. they always require a 3SG generic lexical antecedent in an adja...

This paper argues that copular sentences without an overt copular predicate do project a VP with a phonologically null head, hence so-called “verbless” copular sentences are illusory. Data from Standard Arabic, Spanish, Maltese, Russian, Jamaican Creole, Finnish and Hungarian copular sentences are used to support this claim. It is also claimed here...

This paper aims to show that the four-way BE-system of Maltese can best be accommodated in a theory of non-verbal predication that builds on alternative states, without making any reference to the Davidsonian spatio-temporal event variable. The existing theories of non-verbal predicates put the burden of explaining the difference between the ad hoc...

The contributions in this volume are devoted to various aspects of the internal and external syntax of DPs in a wide variety of languages belonging to the Slavic, Turkic, Finno-Ugric, Semitic and Germanic language families. In particular, the papers address questions related to the internal and external cartography of various types of simplex and c...

Challenging Clitics deals with multiple sides of cliticisation from different theoretical frameworks and with data from a number of different languages. Unlike many other books on clitics where clitics are considered from a mere syntactical point of view, this book also discusses the acquisition of clitics; the role of the PF in cliticisation; the...

The central claim of this article is that the D(avidsonian)-state vs. K(imian)-state distinction established for German and Spanish by Maienborn is of wider crosslinguistic relevance. Stage-level and individual-level secondary predicates are both viewed here as K-states as they contain only a Kimian temporal variable but no Davidsonian event variab...

The Null Subject Parameter is an important component of recent generative grammatical theorizing. This book sets as its main goal the defense of the parametric approach to cross-linguistic variation within the Minimalist framework. It consists of eight chapters and a substantial introduction. The term “null subject” is used in this book in a broad...

This comparative syntactic study aims to give a unified account of copular and non-copular sentences in those languages where the post-verbal non-verbal predicate bears case.
