When to pied-pipe and when to strand in San Dionicio Octotepec Zapotec
نویسنده
چکیده
The derivation of (1) seems rather straightforward. The wh-phrase fronts to Spec, PP, supporting the process that Henk so convincingly argued for in his 1978 book, and pied-pipes the PP to Spec, CP. Aissen (1996) proposes an analysis along these lines for Tzotzil. In essence, PP internal whmovement brings the wh-phrase high enough into the PP to enable successful checking of wh in Spec, CP, through cyclic spec head agreement. Why the P cannot be stranded by extracting the wh phrase from Spec, PP remains unclear in this analysis. This squib examines what moves to Spec, PP and what strands when and where in SDO Zapotec. SDO Zapotec presents an interesting puzzle, illustrated for postnominal possessors below, but reproducible in other environments as well. Possessors are postnominal:

Interrogative Possessors and the Problem with Pied-Piping in Chol*
In this paper I present new data from possessive phrases in Chol (Mayan) and discuss the problem they present for standard analyses of pied-piping (see Heck 2004 and references cited therein). I argue that a theory of pied-piping in which features of a wh-word “percolate” up to a higher maximal projection is unable to straightforwardly account for the ordering facts found in interrogative posse...
متن کاملOptimizing naturally driven air flow in a vertical pipe by changing the intensity and location of the wall heat flux
Heat transfer from the internal surfaces of a vertical pipe to the adjacent air gives rise to the air flow establishment within the pipe. With the aim of optimizing the convective air flow rate in a vertical pipe, the details of the flow and thermal fields were investigated in the present study. Conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy were solved numerically using simple implicit f...

متن کاملOn The In-pipe Inspection Robots Traversing Through Elbows
A general robotic mechanism was presented for in-pipe inspection oflevel pipes with varied diameter or curved pipelines. The robot employed three legs comprised of parallelogram linkages mechanism which enables adapting to various elbow joints in the piping systems. The curvatures in pipeline are the most important constraints in front of the robot through navigation process. To study the adapt...
متن کاملOptimum Design of Interbasin Pipe System (RESEARCH NOTES)
Pipe systems are often used to transfer moderate to medium water volumes between reservoirs or from well fields to consumers. Such systems consisting of an arbitrary number of reservoirs or other types of sources and sinks are considered here. The Lagrangean optimization principle is used for the determination of all pipe diameters giving minimum total cost of the system, when the individual di...
