Constructions that inhibit the formation of long-distance dependencies like wh-questions are known as islands. In Spanish, it has been claimed that pre-verbal subjects are islands but post-verbal subj...

Building on Geurts (2019) programmatic proposal, this paper develops a commitment-based model of Scalar Implicatures (SIs) that shifts the explanatory focus from speaker intentions and mental states t...

The problem of the coordination of unlike syntactic categories is addressed in the framework of Categoriless Meaning-Dependent Grammar advocated by Elbourne. In particular, the phenomenon of the coord...

Diamond open access pushed the conversation from free-to-read to free-to-publish. It’s time to think of equity more broadly.

A substance-free logical analysis is given concerning the mid vowel alternation in Menominee, one of the frequently mentioned cases in the studies of vowel harmony. The analysis consists of only rules...

The present paper focuses on a peculiar Greek construction with the following characteristic properties: (i) the licensing of fronted wh-words that denote variables in the context of a non-interrogati...

In this squib, we present experimental evidence that Korean wh-scrambling, unlike non-wh-scrambling or wh-in-situ, is constrained by the -ttay temporal adjunct island effect. We further show that this...
