2020 Word order effects of givenness in Hungarian: Syntax or prosody? Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 16: Papers from the 2017 Budapest Conference, Hegedűs, Veronika and Irene Vogel (eds.), pp. 137–164
This pioneering study presents results from a forced choice experiment designed to investigate the favoured linear placement of given constituents within the post-verbal domain of Hungarian. Specifically, the experiment tested the preferred relative position of textually given topical adjunct… read more | Chapter
2017 Chapter 8. Focus and quantifier scope: An experimental study of Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 15: Papers from the 2015 Leiden Conference, Hulst, Harry van der and Anikó Lipták (eds.), pp. 209–238
The scope interpretation of doubly quantified sentences is known to be influenced by a variety of contextual factors, among them, Information Structure. While the topic status of an NP has been recurrently argued to give rise to wide scope, the effect of focus status remains controversial: in the… read more | Chapter
2013 Pseudoclefts in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 13: Papers from the 2011 Lund conference, Brandtler, Johan, Valéria Molnár and Christer Platzack (eds.), pp. 67–96
Based on novel data from Hungarian, this paper makes the case that in at least some languages specificational pseudocleft sentences must receive a ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get’ syntactic analysis. More specifically, it is argued that the clefted constituent is the subject of predication… read more | Article
2011 An interface account of identificational focus movement Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 12: Papers from the 2009 Debrecen Conference, Laczkó, Tibor and Catherine O. Ringen (eds.), pp. 163–208
This paper offers a purely interface-based account of the syntax of identificational focus in Hungarian, which eliminates all syntax-internal artifacts from the grammar of ‘focus movement.’ The analysis is based on two inescapable interface properties of id-focus: its prosodic prominence, and its… read more | Article
2010 Toward a strongly derivational syntax Exploring Crash-Proof Grammars, Putnam, Michael T. (ed.), pp. 167–212
Pointing out several undesirable consequences that Merge gives rise to in the mainstream minimalist approach to phrase structure, a strongly derivational model is developed that dispenses with the narrow syntactic Merge operation. Representations and recursion are argued to be properties of the… read more | Article
2009 Adpositional preverbs, chain reduction and phases Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 11: Papers from the 2007 New York Conference, Dikken, Marcel den and Robert M. Vago (eds.), pp. 217–250
This paper develops a syntactic account of two types of adpositional preverb constructions in Hungarian that explains their special behavior, including their mixed argument/adjunct properties. It is maintained that in neutral clauses both types of preverbs come to occupy a position left-adjacent to… read more | Article
