Abstract:

Syntactic movement is a pervasive phenomenon in natural language and, as such,
has played a key role in syntactic theorizing. Nonetheless, an understanding
of the mechanism that allows a constituent to appear to the right of its
base-generated position has remained elusive. This groundbreaking research
monograph aims to address this gap in our knowledge by expanding the inventory
of languages and data sets traditionally considered in the literature.
Specifically, Ortega-Santos analyzes the interplay between focus, word order
and ellipsis in Spanish. A major finding that emerges from the analysis is
that the tension between linearization requirements and rightward movement is
diminished by ellipsis. Current debates on the syntax of the VOS order and
preverbal subjects in Null-Subject Languages also figure prominently in the
discussion, as novel empirical evidence for the existence of null expletives
is provided: a non-trivial issue for our understanding of the Extended
Projection Principle and subjecthood across languages.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
