Classical syntactic theory was designed to permit the type of movement called raising to
proceed out of infinitival, but not finite, clauses—a positive result for languages such as …

Across the languages of the world, we repeatedly find that the extraction of the subject of an
embed ded clause correlates with a reduction in the size of that clause. This generalization …

The Person-Case Constraint (PCC) is a family of restrictions on the relative person of the two
objects of a ditransitive. PCC effects offer a testing ground for theories of Agree and of …

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 …

Every major theoretical approach to syntactic structure incorporates a mechanism for
generating unbounded dependencies. In this article, I distinguish between some of the most …

The central proposal of this thesis is that the status of ergativity within a given Inuit variety is
directly attributable to the underlying status of its object agreement morphology, and that this …

Ergative and accusative behave as dependent cases insofar as their appearance on a
nominal depends on the presence of another nominal in the same domain. Recent work on …

This Elements presents the major findings and theoretical advances in the area of Control.
We describe the different types of control (complement, adjunct, obligatory, nonobligatory) …

When we couple the cyclic expansion of a probe's domain assumed in Cyclic Agree (,,) with
the lack of formal distinction between heads, intermediate projections, and phrases …
