This thesis proposes a recursive mapping of syntactic derivations to prosodic
representations. I argue that the prosody of an expression, just like its meaning, is …

This crosslinguistic study of the structure of motion predicates argues for the universal
syntactic nature of the composition of manner and motion within the verbal constituent. In …

Generalizations about relative prosodic boundary strength are recursive. Initial evidence
comes from the fragment of English consisting only of proper names and and and or. A …

This volume collects together core papers by Richard K. Larson developing what has since
come to be known as the" VP Shell" or" Split VP" analysis of sentential structure. The volume …

I argue that linear order in constructions with scrambling is constrained by Cyclic
Linearization of syntactic structure at the interface, and I show that this proposal provides a …

Understanding Minimalist Syntax introduces the logic of the Minimalist Program by
analyzing well-known descriptive generalizations about long-distance dependencies. An …

We offer here some remarks on the concept of phases, as formulated in recent
developments on minimalist theorizing. Our main objective is to express our feeling that, in …

(cont.) The syntactic behavior is linked to the structural make-up of the two types of elements
and to more general syntactic principles. I propose that quantifier stranding can only arise …

It is common to hypothesize that in classifier and non-classifier languages alike the various
functional heads (determiner/demonstrative, numeral, classifier) each head their own …

In recent literature, a debate has arisen between two theories of the calculation and
realization of morphological case. The more commonly held Agree model states that all case …
