Velde, John R. te 2009 Using the Survive principle for deriving coordinate (a)symmetries Towards a Derivational Syntax: Survive-minimalism, Putnam, Michael T. (ed.), pp. 169–192 | Article

This analysis examines the symmetries of coordinate structures, specifically how they can be generated in a minimalist, crash-proof grammar. I show that a phase-based model with selection of lexical items (LIs) before merge must have a matching operation across conjuncts, but this operation is… read more

Velde, John R. te 2009 A conjunction conspiracy at the West Germanic left periphery Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 119–148 | Article

In this analysis I consider one rather common coordinate construction and two less common ones from West Germanic that have two distinguishing properties in common: (i) all consist of conjoined verb-second (V2) clauses, and (ii) there is an ellipse at the left edge of the second conjunct. I propose… read more
