Substantially agreeing with Hornstein (2009: 81), “it is fair to say that what adjuncts are and how they function grammatically is not well understood”. I refer the reader to, e.g., Hornstein 2009: chapter 4, Hornstein & Nunes 2008, Hunter 2010 or most recently Hunter 2015 for a catalog of properties and problems adjuncts raise in general, and in particular for all previous proposals including ...

He presented two arguments that the concept of A-chains should not be part of the grammar. In my comments (Brody 1999), I showed that the arguments for this way of eliminating the redundancy are flawed and that their background is dubious. Hornstein in his repl...

In this paper I point out a hitherto unnoticed interaction between weak crossover (WCO) and antecedent-contained deletion (ACD) that provides another piece of evidence for an LF A-bar movement account of ACD, and against the A-movement account proposed in Hornstein 1994, adding to the case against Hornstein made in Kennedy 1997. Interestingly, the key piece of evidence, an ACD construction with...
