The subject of an embedded finite clause in Mongolian can be marked with accusative case,
alternating with canonical nominative case. Following previous proposals, I analyze this …

Case, agreement, and A-movement dependencies across finite clause boundaries, such as
Hyperraising (to subject or object) or Long-Distance Case or Agreement [LDA], are available …

The central proposal of this thesis is that the status of ergativity within a given Inuit variety is

Upwards-oriented complementizer agreement raises questions about the directionality and
locality of agreement. Based on novel data from original fieldwork, we argue that what has …

This dissertation aims to push forward our understanding of syntactic displacement, a
phenomenon—analyzed here as movement, or Internal Merge (Chomsky 2004)—in which …
