relative-clauses-wpss-proof.dvi Adjectives and clausal complementation∗ Fredrik Heinat, Stockholm University Abstract In this paper I show that Swedish has a type of relative clausethat doesn’t modify nominal expressions, contrary to most descriptions/definitions of relative clauses. Instead this type of relative clause modifies evaluative predicates. The relative clause has similarities to both c

In certain contexts the finite perfect auxiliary,ha ‘have’, is optional. These contexts are finite non-V2 clauses and V2 clauses in which the V2 position is filled by a modal adverb, for examplekanske‘maybe’. The analysis of these tenseles

Topicalization: The IO/DO Asymmetry in Icelandic* Elena Callegari and Anton Karl Ingason University of Iceland Abstract In this paper, we investigate differences in the frequency of direct-object versus indirect-object topicalization (i.e. fronting with no accompanying pronom- inal resumption) in Icelandic using the Icelandic Parsed Historical Corpus. We find that the overall incidence of DO topic

La grammatica della narrazione: Swedish så and the narrative domain Verner Egerland Lund University Abstract The Swedish particle så is attested in different usages. In one of these, så introduces assertive clauses forming the foreground, or the skeleton, of a narrative. It is argued that, if the distribution of this particular particle is to be captured in a theory of syntax, such a theory needs

33.Toyota-final ON THE EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF ‘YES’ AND ‘NO’ JUNICHI TOYOTA Abstract. Small words like ‘yes’ and ‘no’ play an important part in our daily communication, but do we clearly know where they come from? Their origin is rather mysterious. We do not know if we need these words at all, since some languages manage without them. For instance, speakers of Celtic languages answer affirmativel

Halldor 66 About pronouns* Halldór Ármann Sigurðsson Lund University Abstract This essay claims that pronouns are constructed as syntactic relations rather than as discrete feature bundles or items. The discussion is set within minimalist Context-linked Grammar, where phases contain silent but active edge features, edge linkers, including speaker and hearer features. An NP is phi-computed in relat

165 Abstract The chapter reviews evidence for the bodily mimesis hypothesis, which states that the evolution of language was preceded by an adaptation for improved volitional control of the body, giving our ancestors advantages in the domains of imi- tation, empathy, and gestural communication. Much of this evidence is also shared by other gesture-first theories of language origins, but they face

Working Papers in Scandinavian Syntax 86 (2010) 25-56 On Icelandic Object Shift* Mayumi Hosono, Leiden University m.hosono@umail.leidenuniv.nl Abstract In this paper I discuss Icelandic Object Shift from the perspective of the Icelandic intonational properties.
