Voice Systems and the Syntax/Morphology Interface
The topic of this paper is the manner in which syntactic voice alternations (and syntactic configurations more generally) relate to voice morphology, and the implications of this for theories of voice and theories of morphology/syntax interactions. I argue based on the voice system of Modern Greek for three primary points: first, that treatments taking voice morphology as corresponding to a syn...
متن کاملThe Acquisitional Role of the Syntax-Morphology Interface: Morphological Compounds and Syntactic Complex Predicates
The principal claim of this paper is that a single parameter determines both whether a language permits productive root compounding, and whether the language permits syntactic complex predicates. The relevant parameter meets the classical (Chomsky 1981) criterion of having consequences across a sizable range of superficially disparate grammatical constructions, but is not reducible to the infor...
متن کاملLearnability in a Minimalist Framework: Root Compounds, Merger, and the Syntax-Morphology Interface
The Minimalist Program in syntactic theory seeks to factor cross-linguistic variation out of the syntax, and entirely into other grammatical components, chiefly the lexicon and the interfaces with semantics and phonetics. At the same time, current Minimalist research accords a central role to the operation of "Merge," a generalized transformation combining two autonomous subtrees as daughters o...
متن کاملExclamative Clauses: At the Syntax–Semantics Interface
One central issue in the theory of clause types is whether force is represented in the syntax. Based on data from English, Italian, and Paduan, we examine this question focusing on a less well-studied clause type, exclamatives. We argue that there is no particular element in syntax responsible for introducing force. Rather, there are two fundamental syntactic components which identify a clause ...
متن کاملMorphology-Syntax Interface for Turkish LFG
This paper investigates the use of sublexical units as a solution to handling the complex morphology with productive derivational processes, in the development of a lexical functional grammar for Turkish. Such sublexical units make it possible to expose the internal structure of words with multiple derivations to the grammar rules in a uniform manner. This in turn leads to more succinct and man...
