This paper presents a reevaluation of the choice between the two analyses for German partial fronting phenomena proposed in the literature, remnant movement and reanalysis. We show that the empirical arguments which were presented in favor of an extraction analysis are not convincing, and we provide empirical evidence supporting a reanalysis-like approach. Turning to a detailed data discussion,...

There are two main derivations proposed for RNR structures. First, RNR may be an instance of acrossthe-board (ATB) rightward movement: both copies of the target leave their conjuncts and are right...

In their paper in Linguistics & Philosophy on the semantics and pragmatics of topic phrases, Portner and Yabushita (1998) propose a theory of Extended File Change Semantics that is able to account for a range of topicalization phenomena in Japanese and English. One particular phenomenon—the one that Portner and Yabushita dwell on the longest—is their observation that, in Japanese, “a discourse ...

Historical accounts of the phenomenon of cliticization have previously documented only the loss of second-position clitics. This paper argues that the history of Bulgarian offers evidence for the rise of a second-position clitic system. It is demonstrated that the second-position clitics of Old Bulgarian were not directly inherited from IndoEuropean, but emerged from a system of post-verbal cli...
