P-omission under sluicing, [P clitic] and the nature of P-stranding
Ch. 8. P. 133–155.
Philippova T.
This paper discusses preposition (P) omission under sluicing (John talked with someone but I don’t know _ who) and the ability of P to take a clitic pronoun as a complement (We talked about’im), correlated with P-stranding (the ability of P to stay in situ when its complement undergoes movement, Who are you talking with_?) through generalizations that were proposed in Merchant (2001) and Abels (2003a,b) respectively. These studies establish Pstranding as a necessary condition for both phenomena, but I show that the correlations may stem instead from the ability of Ps to project independent Prosodic Words in the P-stranding languages.

The article studies the prosody of Akkadian prepositions. The placement of prepositions within a written line of cuneiform texts is analyzed. The Old Babylonian data show that with rare exceptions the prepositions of certain type, namely those of (C)V-VC structure, like ana ‘to(wards)’ and ina ‘in’, were never written at the end of a line. This regularity is interpreted ...

In Andi, the additive marker (‘also’) and the intensifying marker (‘even, at all’) behave as enclitics on various types of hosts and as endoclitics when they occur on negative verb ...

Basically, these emerge where such subjects corefer to the matrix subject or indirect object. In cases of embedded predicate’s unaccusativity and direct object coreference, however, the subordinate subject can be omitted. Since this ...

Some specific features of the use of personal markers in the Beltir dialect of Khakas have parallels in other Turkic languages and dialects, and result from two different tendencies. First, there are analogical developments of conjugated forms in different paradigms. In some finite and non-finite paradigms, originally different personal markers were replaced by a set ...

В данной статье рассмотрено морфосинтаксическое поведение регулярного атрибутивного показателя ꞊sːi в андийском языке — одном из языков аваро-андийской группы нахско-дагестанской семьи. В фокусе нашего внимания находится тот факт, что данный показатель явным образом проявляет клитические свойства, однако, с другой стороны, его однозначная квалификация как клитики затруднена. В разделе 2 мы рассматриваем примеры типичных аффиксов и типичных клитик в андийском ...

Данная статья посвящена синтаксису целевых клауз в горномарийском языке. Отличительной чертой описываемой системы является влияние неаккузативности целевой клаузы на возможность опущения ее субъекта. Подобное явление, по-видимому, весьма редкое типологически, требует теоретического объяснения. Мы считаем, что наблюдаемое в этих случаях опущение не является заменой нулевым местоимением PRO (так как в таком случае система противоречила бы некоторым типологическим ...

The paper is devoted to the Tocharian phenomenon of preposition repetition, which occurs when a preposition governs conjuncts. This phenomenon is well known in Old Russian, but it is also described for some other ancient and modern languages, e.g. Latin, Greek, Hebrew and modern French. In the majority of these languages, the occurrence of reiterated ...

This paper bears on the debate (cf. Lechner 2015) whether single DP-remnant comparatives are underlyingly clausal (reduced clause analysis, RCA) or base-generated as DPs (direct analysis, DA). Setting aside čem-comparatives, exhibiting clear CP-like behavior (see Pancheva 2006), I focus on genitive comparatives. No evidence for additional structure has been proposed for the Russian genitive comparative, ...
