Niebuhr Details in the perception of German prominence: Cue power estimates and contexts effects Oliver Niebuhr, Kiel University It is widely accepted for German and other languages that duration and F0 are the major prominence cues, with F0 being more important than duration. But, how much of a change in duration is actually necessary to counterbalance a given change in F0? Our experiment address

Roll Word accents in a neurocognitive perspective Mikael Roll, Lund University We have found that word accent tones have a clear function in facilitating rapid word processing in Swedish. Thus, native speakers unconsciously use word accent tones to predict word structure, in particular which suffix a stem will have. Accent 1 is a stronger suffix-predictor than Accent 2, since it is associated with

Quantifier Scope Interaction in Korean and English Introduction. The contrast in scope ambiguity between English and Korean in (1-2) has been a topic of research. Huang (1982: 220) and Hoji (1985: 248) argue that quantifier scope in languages like Korean, Chinese and Japanese is determined by the surface word order contra English. Recently, some researchers (Hornstein 1995 among others) proposed t

Genitive of Negation and the Syntax of Scope This paper presents a new approach to direct objects under sentential negation in Russian based on a set of neglected data. It has long been observed that in Russian, direct objects can receive Genitive case under negation (GN), alternating with the canonical Accusative case (ACC) (see Babby 1980, Pesetsky 1982, Babyonyshev 1996, Brown 1999, et al.) as

However, the mechanism of AGREE poses one serious but interesting problem under the theory of Defective Intervention Constraint (DIC)(1) (Chomsky1998,1999, Boeckx2000, Ura2000b).(‘>’ is a c-command relation).

On adjunction of a non-head to a head This paper will suggest that some head attracts a maximal projection even when the derivation operates the head adjunction (or the head-movement).

Elsi Kaiser: The syntax-pragmatics interface and Finnish ditransitive verbs In this paper I present an analysis of the syntax and pragmatics of Finnish ditransitive verbs. Finnish, an SVO language with flexible word order, permits both the direct object- indirect object (DO-IO) order (ex. (1)) and the indirect object-direct object (IO-DO) order (ex. (2)). According to my analysis, the base-generat

Clitic Doubling: a Syntactic Effect of Morphological Case Dimitra Papangeli (uclydpa@ucl.ac.uk) Department of Phonetics and Linguistics, UCL The problem: a. Clitic doubling is not attested in all languages with pronominal clitics: morphological case seems to be a prerequisite. b. Clitic doubling seems to violate the theta criterion: one theta role seems to be assigned to two arguments. The analysi
