Abstract:

Focusing primarily on Swedish, a Germanic language whose particles
have not previously been studied extensively, Non-Projecting Words: A
Case Study on Swedish Particles develops a theory of non-projecting
words in which particles are morphologically independent words that do
not project phrases.

Particles have long constituted a puzzle for Germanic syntax, as they
exhibit properties of both morphological and syntactic
constructs. Although non-projecting words have appeared in the
literature before, it has gone largely unnoticed that such structures
violate the basic tenets of X-bar theory. This work identifies these
violations and develops a formally explicit revision of X-bar theory
that can accommodate the requisite "weak" projections.

The resulting theory, stated in terms of Lexical-Functional Grammar,
also yields a novel classification of clitics, and it sheds new light
on a range of recent theoretical proposals, including economy,
multi-word constructions, and the primitives of lexical semantics. At
an abstract level, we see that the modular, parallel-projection
architecture of LFG is essential to the description of a variety of
otherwise recalcitrant facts about non-projecting words.
