Nevertheless, there seems to be an exception: discourse particles in interrogatives can be moved to the left as a consequence of forming a constituent with a wh-phrase. In this paper, we focus on such cases of co-constituency of discourse particles and wh-elements in German wh-questions. We propose a successive-cyclic movement account for their distribution. Relying on the combination of key aspects of the Minimalist Program, we present a derivational model that also accounts for cases of stacked particles as they may appear in the left clausal periphery. We then turn to the interpretation of these configurations. In comparison with constructions in which the particle stays in situ, we notice an interpretive distinctness that requires the notion of emphasis for intensity to account for the extra pragmatic effect that these left peripheral structures convey. 01 01 JB code la.226.03hin 06 10.1075/la.226.03hin 41 70 30 Article 3 01 04 On the interpretation of modal particles in non-assertive speech acts in German and Bellunese On the interpretation of modal particles in non-assertive speech acts in German and Bellunese 1 A01 01 JB code 196250805 Roland Hinterhölzl Hinterhölzl, Roland Roland Hinterhölzl University Ca’Foscari, Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/196250805 2 A01 01 JB code 337250806 Nicola Munaro Munaro, Nicola Nicola Munaro University Ca’Foscari, Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/337250806 01 eng 30 00 In this article, we analyze the syntactic and semantic properties of modal particles appearing in non-assertive speech acts in German and in Bellunese. We propose that modal particles in exclamations and special questions function as evidential markers interacting with the evaluative component to derive the diverse expressive meanings. In order to provide an adequate syntactic account of the distribution of these particles, we propose that they occupy head positions in Bellunese, but are specifiers of their respective functional projections in German, and that their semantic impact requires the syntactic representation of separate evaluational and evidential phrases pertaining to speaker and hearer as well as the syntactic representation of the speech act operator. The intrinsic relation between the evidence of a discourse participant and his evaluation is made visible by the interaction of modal particles in evidential projections and an autosegmental intonational morpheme in the evaluative projection in German and by a paradigm of minimal oppositions of particles occupying the evidential projections in Bellunese. 01 01 JB code la.226.04car 06 10.1075/la.226.04car 71 92 22 Article 4 01 04 Italian verb-based discourse particles in a comparative perspective Italian verb-based discourse particles in a comparative perspective 1 A01 01 JB code 602250807 Anna Cardinaletti Cardinaletti, Anna Anna Cardinaletti Universita` Ca’ Foscari Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/602250807 01 eng 30 00 This paper provides a syntactic analysis of Italian verb-based discourse particles. In spite of their utterance-peripheral distribution and their pragmatic content, they should be considered as integrated in the sentence with which they are associated. It is argued that sentence-initial and sentence-final particles are not derivationally related but are merged in different layers of the clause (CP and IP, respectively). Following Haegeman and Hill (2013) and (2014), it is proposed that sentence-initial particles occur in Speech Act projections above Rizzi’s (1997) ForceP. The interaction of particles and vocatives is also discussed. In a comparative perspective, some differences between Italian and West Flemish have been correlated with the different distribution of discourse particles, namely as specifiers and heads, respectively. 01 01 JB code la.226.05man 06 10.1075/la.226.05man 93 120 28 Article 5 01 04 Italian adverbs and discourse particles Italian adverbs and discourse particles 01 04 Between recategorization and ambiguity Between recategorization and ambiguity 1 A01 01 JB code 783250808 Maria Rita Manzini Manzini, Maria Rita Maria Rita Manzini University of Florence 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/783250808 01 eng 30 00 In Italian and its dialects, there is no evidence that lexical items functioning as discourse particle correspond to specialized functional heads, or that they have a truncated internal structure, making them into weak categories. Rather they have the syntactic distribution of adverbs, with which they coincide lexically. Therefore ‘discourse particle’ is the name of a special interpretation of adverbs, which also have a conventional temporal/aspectual/manner interpretation – to be captured by a scope(-like) mechanism at the LF interface. Temporal/aspectual/manner modifiers take events as their arguments – while discourse particles take the entire assertion (or command, question) as their argument, relating it to the store of propositional contents shared by speaker and hearer. 01 01 JB code la.226.06rou 06 10.1075/la.226.06rou 121 158 38 Article 6 01 04 Is particle a (unified) category?

It is argued that their ‘discourse’ linking is related to their presence in the left periphery. The Greek particles under consideration are next shown to have a grammatical function and to fall into two basic categories, verbal (tha, as) and nominal (na, mi). As such they occupy (extended-) projections associated with the verb and its argument structure respectively. 01 01 JB code la.226.07gel 06 10.1075/la.226.07gel 159 174 16 Article 7 01 04 The particle how The particle how 1 A01 01 JB code 500250810 Elly Gelderen Gelderen, Elly Elly Gelderen Arizona State University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/500250810 01 eng 30 00 Words that function in the lower part of the clause can be reanalyzed as base generated in the higher part. In this paper, I examine how the manner and degree adverb how also functions as a conjunction and yes/no marker. The latter two uses, though not accepted by all native speakers, go back quite a long time. The paper contributes to the discussion about an inventory of features so important in Minimalism since the mid 1990s by arguing that the grammaticalization of how involves a loss of certain features but an increase in others. 01 01 JB code la.226.08hae 06 10.1075/la.226.08hae 175 210 36 Article 8 01 04 The cartography of yes and no in West Flemish The cartography of yes and no in West Flemish 1 A01 01 JB code 82250811 Liliane Haegeman Haegeman, Liliane Liliane Haegeman FWO/Ghent University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/82250811 2 A01 01 JB code 134250812 Andrew Weir Weir, Andrew Andrew Weir NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/134250812 01 eng 30 00 We make an in-depth study of the response particles ja/nee (‘yes/no’) in the Lapscheure dialect of Dutch. These particles show overt phi-feature marking corresponding to what would be the subject of a response clause. Additionally, in ‘reversal answers’, the particles bear additional morphology. We develop a cartographic analysis, arguing that ja/nee represent TP proforms (Krifka 2013). We analyze the pronominal marking as a reflex of phi-features which are merged in Fin to satisfy the Subject Criterion (Rizzi & Shlonsky 2007). We argue that this analysis accounts for a number of facts concerning the distribution of ja/nee, including their incompatibility with (most) clausemate material, and the co-occurrence restrictions between ja/nee, the discourse particle ba, and ‘reversal doet’ (Van Craenenbroeck 2010). 01 01 JB code la.226.09gar 06 10.1075/la.226.09gar 211 228 18 Article 9 01 04 On polarity particles in Italian varieties On polarity particles in Italian varieties 1 A01 01 JB code 593250813 Jacopo Garzonio Garzonio, Jacopo Jacopo Garzonio Universita` Ca’ Foscari Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/593250813 2 A01 01 JB code 895250814 Cecilia Poletto Poletto, Cecilia Cecilia Poletto Goethe-Universität Frankfurt 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/895250814 01 eng 30 00 This article considers some constructions related with polarity emphasis in standard Italian and Italian dialects. In particular, the authors examine two constructions where the polarity particle is accompanied by a repetition of the whole propositional content of the stimulus assertion or question. The analysis of these cases is based on the idea that emphasis requires the syntactic presence of the proposition that has to be denied or confirmed. It is argued that the two constructions are not derivationally related, but are the two possible syntactic realizations of the same discourse context. The internal structure of emphatic constructions is also taken into consideration and compared with cases attested in the dialectal domain where polarity emphasis is marked by a special form of the polarity particle. All the examined cases suggest that polarity emphasis is a root phenomenon and the authors argue that this is explained by the presence of some ‘speaker oriented’ features and projections only in root left peripheries. 01 01 JB code la.226.10gio 06 10.1075/la.226.10gio 229 250 22 Article 10 01 04 Discourse and the syntax of the left periphery Discourse and the syntax of the left periphery 01 04 Clitic Left Dislocation and Hanging Topic Clitic Left Dislocation and Hanging Topic 1 A01 01 JB code 8250815 Alessandra Giorgi Giorgi, Alessandra Alessandra Giorgi Universita` Ca’ Foscari Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/8250815 01 eng 30 00 In this work I consider the properties of Clitic Left Dislocation (CLLD) and Hanging Topic (HT) in Italian. Rizzi (1997) proposed that the syntactic space pertaining to the complementizer must be conceived of as a layer, i.e. as a set of hierarchically ordered projections, including those for contrastive focus and topics. In the literature following this hypothesis, a focused phrase is argued to be moved, whereas topics such as CLLD and HT are analyzed as base generated in the left periphery. Here I argue that their unmoved status follows from their very special syntax, given that the heads projecting the phrases where they are hosted belong to a peculiar category, i.e. they are prosody- oriented heads. Prosody-oriented heads are not associated to a lexical content, but to a phonological one, i.e. are read off at the interface with phonology as instructions for the assignment of prosodic values. The properties and distribution of CLLD and HT will be shown to follow from this hypothesis. 01 01 JB code la.226.11ind 06 10.1075/la.226.11ind 251 254 4 Article 11 01 04 Index Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/la.226 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20151216 C 2015 John Benjamins D 2015 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027257093 WORLD 09 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 https://jbe-platform.com 29 https://jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027267726 21 01 00 Unqualified price 02 95.00 EUR 01 00 Unqualified price 02 80.00 GBP GB 01 00 Unqualified price 02 143.00 USD 894016104 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code LA 226 Hb 15 9789027257093 06 10.1075/la.226 13 2015032882 00 BB 08 610 gr 10 01 JB code LA 02 0166-0829 02 226.00 01 02 Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today 01 01 Discourse-oriented Syntax Discourse-oriented Syntax 1 B01 01 JB code 575230243 Josef Bayer Bayer, Josef Josef Bayer University of Konstanz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/575230243 2 B01 01 JB code 395230244 Roland Hinterhölzl Hinterhölzl, Roland Roland Hinterhölzl Università Ca' Foscari, Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/395230244 3 B01 01 JB code 532230245 Andreas Trotzke Trotzke, Andreas Andreas Trotzke University of Konstanz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/532230245 01 eng 11 258 03 03 v 03 00 253 03 01 23 415 03 2015 P291 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Syntax. 04 Discourse analysis. 04 Generative grammar. 10 LAN009000 12 CFK 24 JB code LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB code LIN.GENER Generative linguistics 24 JB code LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 24 JB code LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB code LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 01 06 03 00 Until recently, little attention has been paid within syntax to components of discourse meaning that go beyond information structure and fall into the domain of non-at-issue meaning operating at the level of illocutionary force.

The primary audience of this volume are researchers and graduate students interested in state-of-the-art approaches to the syntax-discourse interface within the cartographic approach to syntax. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/la.226.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027257093.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027257093.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/la.226.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/la.226.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/la.226.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/la.226.hb.png 01 01 JB code la.226.01bay 06 10.1075/la.226.01bay 1 12 12 Article 1 01 04 Issues in discourse-oriented syntax Issues in discourse-oriented syntax 1 A01 01 JB code 853250800 Josef Bayer Bayer, Josef Josef Bayer University of Konstanz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/853250800 2 A01 01 JB code 193250801 Roland Hinterhölzl Hinterhölzl, Roland Roland Hinterhölzl Università Ca’Foscari Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/193250801 3 A01 01 JB code 307250802 Andreas Trotzke Trotzke, Andreas Andreas Trotzke University of Konstanz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/307250802 01 eng 01 01 JB code la.226.02bay 06 10.1075/la.226.02bay 13 40 28 Article 2 01 04 The derivation and interpretation of left peripheral discourse particles The derivation and interpretation of left peripheral discourse particles 1 A01 01 JB code 678250803 Josef Bayer Bayer, Josef Josef Bayer University of Konstanz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/678250803 2 A01 01 JB code 995250804 Andreas Trotzke Trotzke, Andreas Andreas Trotzke University of Konstanz 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/995250804 01 eng 30 00 German discourse particles are known to appear in clause-medial position and to resist displacement to the left or to the right. Nevertheless, there seems to be an exception: discourse particles in interrogatives can be moved to the left as a consequence of forming a constituent with a wh-phrase. In this paper, we focus on such cases of co-constituency of discourse particles and wh-elements in German wh-questions. We propose a successive-cyclic movement account for their distribution. Relying on the combination of key aspects of the Minimalist Program, we present a derivational model that also accounts for cases of stacked particles as they may appear in the left clausal periphery. We then turn to the interpretation of these configurations. In comparison with constructions in which the particle stays in situ, we notice an interpretive distinctness that requires the notion of emphasis for intensity to account for the extra pragmatic effect that these left peripheral structures convey. 01 01 JB code la.226.03hin 06 10.1075/la.226.03hin 41 70 30 Article 3 01 04 On the interpretation of modal particles in non-assertive speech acts in German and Bellunese On the interpretation of modal particles in non-assertive speech acts in German and Bellunese 1 A01 01 JB code 196250805 Roland Hinterhölzl Hinterhölzl, Roland Roland Hinterhölzl University Ca’Foscari, Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/196250805 2 A01 01 JB code 337250806 Nicola Munaro Munaro, Nicola Nicola Munaro University Ca’Foscari, Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/337250806 01 eng 30 00 In this article, we analyze the syntactic and semantic properties of modal particles appearing in non-assertive speech acts in German and in Bellunese. We propose that modal particles in exclamations and special questions function as evidential markers interacting with the evaluative component to derive the diverse expressive meanings. In order to provide an adequate syntactic account of the distribution of these particles, we propose that they occupy head positions in Bellunese, but are specifiers of their respective functional projections in German, and that their semantic impact requires the syntactic representation of separate evaluational and evidential phrases pertaining to speaker and hearer as well as the syntactic representation of the speech act operator. The intrinsic relation between the evidence of a discourse participant and his evaluation is made visible by the interaction of modal particles in evidential projections and an autosegmental intonational morpheme in the evaluative projection in German and by a paradigm of minimal oppositions of particles occupying the evidential projections in Bellunese. 01 01 JB code la.226.04car 06 10.1075/la.226.04car 71 92 22 Article 4 01 04 Italian verb-based discourse particles in a comparative perspective Italian verb-based discourse particles in a comparative perspective 1 A01 01 JB code 602250807 Anna Cardinaletti Cardinaletti, Anna Anna Cardinaletti Universita` Ca’ Foscari Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/602250807 01 eng 30 00 This paper provides a syntactic analysis of Italian verb-based discourse particles. In spite of their utterance-peripheral distribution and their pragmatic content, they should be considered as integrated in the sentence with which they are associated. It is argued that sentence-initial and sentence-final particles are not derivationally related but are merged in different layers of the clause (CP and IP, respectively). Following Haegeman and Hill (2013) and (2014), it is proposed that sentence-initial particles occur in Speech Act projections above Rizzi’s (1997) ForceP. The interaction of particles and vocatives is also discussed. In a comparative perspective, some differences between Italian and West Flemish have been correlated with the different distribution of discourse particles, namely as specifiers and heads, respectively. 01 01 JB code la.226.05man 06 10.1075/la.226.05man 93 120 28 Article 5 01 04 Italian adverbs and discourse particles Italian adverbs and discourse particles 01 04 Between recategorization and ambiguity Between recategorization and ambiguity 1 A01 01 JB code 783250808 Maria Rita Manzini Manzini, Maria Rita Maria Rita Manzini University of Florence 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/783250808 01 eng 30 00 In Italian and its dialects, there is no evidence that lexical items functioning as discourse particle correspond to specialized functional heads, or that they have a truncated internal structure, making them into weak categories. Rather they have the syntactic distribution of adverbs, with which they coincide lexically. Therefore ‘discourse particle’ is the name of a special interpretation of adverbs, which also have a conventional temporal/aspectual/manner interpretation – to be captured by a scope(-like) mechanism at the LF interface. Temporal/aspectual/manner modifiers take events as their arguments – while discourse particles take the entire assertion (or command, question) as their argument, relating it to the store of propositional contents shared by speaker and hearer. 01 01 JB code la.226.06rou 06 10.1075/la.226.06rou 121 158 38 Article 6 01 04 Is particle a (unified) category?

It is argued that their ‘discourse’ linking is related to their presence in the left periphery. The Greek particles under consideration are next shown to have a grammatical function and to fall into two basic categories, verbal (tha, as) and nominal (na, mi). As such they occupy (extended-) projections associated with the verb and its argument structure respectively. 01 01 JB code la.226.07gel 06 10.1075/la.226.07gel 159 174 16 Article 7 01 04 The particle how The particle how 1 A01 01 JB code 500250810 Elly Gelderen Gelderen, Elly Elly Gelderen Arizona State University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/500250810 01 eng 30 00 Words that function in the lower part of the clause can be reanalyzed as base generated in the higher part. In this paper, I examine how the manner and degree adverb how also functions as a conjunction and yes/no marker. The latter two uses, though not accepted by all native speakers, go back quite a long time. The paper contributes to the discussion about an inventory of features so important in Minimalism since the mid 1990s by arguing that the grammaticalization of how involves a loss of certain features but an increase in others. 01 01 JB code la.226.08hae 06 10.1075/la.226.08hae 175 210 36 Article 8 01 04 The cartography of yes and no in West Flemish The cartography of yes and no in West Flemish 1 A01 01 JB code 82250811 Liliane Haegeman Haegeman, Liliane Liliane Haegeman FWO/Ghent University 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/82250811 2 A01 01 JB code 134250812 Andrew Weir Weir, Andrew Andrew Weir NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/134250812 01 eng 30 00 We make an in-depth study of the response particles ja/nee (‘yes/no’) in the Lapscheure dialect of Dutch. These particles show overt phi-feature marking corresponding to what would be the subject of a response clause. Additionally, in ‘reversal answers’, the particles bear additional morphology. We develop a cartographic analysis, arguing that ja/nee represent TP proforms (Krifka 2013). We analyze the pronominal marking as a reflex of phi-features which are merged in Fin to satisfy the Subject Criterion (Rizzi & Shlonsky 2007). We argue that this analysis accounts for a number of facts concerning the distribution of ja/nee, including their incompatibility with (most) clausemate material, and the co-occurrence restrictions between ja/nee, the discourse particle ba, and ‘reversal doet’ (Van Craenenbroeck 2010). 01 01 JB code la.226.09gar 06 10.1075/la.226.09gar 211 228 18 Article 9 01 04 On polarity particles in Italian varieties On polarity particles in Italian varieties 1 A01 01 JB code 593250813 Jacopo Garzonio Garzonio, Jacopo Jacopo Garzonio Universita` Ca’ Foscari Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/593250813 2 A01 01 JB code 895250814 Cecilia Poletto Poletto, Cecilia Cecilia Poletto Goethe-Universität Frankfurt 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/895250814 01 eng 30 00 This article considers some constructions related with polarity emphasis in standard Italian and Italian dialects. In particular, the authors examine two constructions where the polarity particle is accompanied by a repetition of the whole propositional content of the stimulus assertion or question. The analysis of these cases is based on the idea that emphasis requires the syntactic presence of the proposition that has to be denied or confirmed. It is argued that the two constructions are not derivationally related, but are the two possible syntactic realizations of the same discourse context. The internal structure of emphatic constructions is also taken into consideration and compared with cases attested in the dialectal domain where polarity emphasis is marked by a special form of the polarity particle. All the examined cases suggest that polarity emphasis is a root phenomenon and the authors argue that this is explained by the presence of some ‘speaker oriented’ features and projections only in root left peripheries. 01 01 JB code la.226.10gio 06 10.1075/la.226.10gio 229 250 22 Article 10 01 04 Discourse and the syntax of the left periphery Discourse and the syntax of the left periphery 01 04 Clitic Left Dislocation and Hanging Topic Clitic Left Dislocation and Hanging Topic 1 A01 01 JB code 8250815 Alessandra Giorgi Giorgi, Alessandra Alessandra Giorgi Universita` Ca’ Foscari Venezia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/8250815 01 eng 30 00 In this work I consider the properties of Clitic Left Dislocation (CLLD) and Hanging Topic (HT) in Italian. Rizzi (1997) proposed that the syntactic space pertaining to the complementizer must be conceived of as a layer, i.e. as a set of hierarchically ordered projections, including those for contrastive focus and topics. In the literature following this hypothesis, a focused phrase is argued to be moved, whereas topics such as CLLD and HT are analyzed as base generated in the left periphery. Here I argue that their unmoved status follows from their very special syntax, given that the heads projecting the phrases where they are hosted belong to a peculiar category, i.e. they are prosody- oriented heads. Prosody-oriented heads are not associated to a lexical content, but to a phonological one, i.e. are read off at the interface with phonology as instructions for the assignment of prosodic values. The properties and distribution of CLLD and HT will be shown to follow from this hypothesis. 01 01 JB code la.226.11ind 06 10.1075/la.226.11ind 251 254 4 Article 11 01 04 Index Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/la.226 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20151216 C 2015 John Benjamins D 2015 John Benjamins 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 21 22 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 95.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 80.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 21 22 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 143.00 USD
