2016 Biolinguistic investigations on the Language Faculty: Introduction Biolinguistic Investigations on the Language Faculty, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. vii–xviii | Article
The papers assembled in this volume aim to contribute to our understanding of the human capacity for language, understood as a generative procedure that relates sounds and meanings via syntax. While theoretical hypotheses about this relation are part of the generative enterprise since its… read more
2016 The biolinguistics program: Questions and hypotheses Biolinguistic Investigations on the Language Faculty, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. 3–40 | Article
The Biolinguistics Program is an emergent interdisciplinary field encompassing natural sciences, neurosciences and the humanities. Its core object of inquiry is human language. The overarching questions it raises are the following: what is language and what is the relation between language and… read more
2016 Object pronouns in the evolution of Romanian: A biolinguistic perspective Biolinguistic Investigations on the Language Faculty, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. 125–144 | Article
We examine pronominal objects in Old Romanian and show that the fluctuation in their position (pre-/post-verbal) and in their form (clitic/strong pronoun) is the result of the Directional Asymmetry Principle (DAP), a complexity-reducing principle proposed in Di Sciullo (2011), according to which… read more
2014 Minimalism and I-Morphology Minimalism and Beyond: Radicalizing the interfaces, Kosta, Peter, Steven L. Franks, Teodora Radeva-Bork and Lilia Schürcks (eds.), pp. 267–286 | Article
I address the question of how morphology can be approached within the Minimalist program, focusing on the notion of asymmetry which has been shown to contribute to the understanding of language and other complex systems. I distinguish the Internalist from the Externalist approach to morphology. I… read more
2012 Interfaces in a biolinguistic perspective Towards a Biolinguistic Understanding of Grammar: Essays on interfaces, Di Sciullo, Anna Maria (ed.), pp. 1–10 | Article
2012 Perspectives on morphological complexity Current Issues in Morphological Theory: (Ir)regularity, analogy and frequency, Kiefer, Ferenc †, Mária Ladányi and Péter Siptár (eds.), pp. 107–134 | Article
This paper discusses the notion of morphological complexity and differentiates language external complexity (E-complexity) from language internal complexity (I-complexity). While E-complexity is measurable on the basis of the statistical occurrences of affixes and their combinations with roots,… read more

2007 On affixal scope and affix-root ordering in Italian Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 2005: Selected papers from ‘Going Romance’, Utrecht, 8–10 December 2005, Baauw, Sergio, Frank Drijkoningen and Manuela Pinto (eds.), pp. 99–114 | Article
I raise the question why different sorts of affixes occupy different canonical positions in morphological expressions, and focus on Italian. I show that the semantic scope between affixes and the precedence relations between affixes and roots follow from Asymmetry Theory (Di Sciullo 2005). First, I… read more

1996 Word-Internal Pronouns and Reflexives Coherence and Anaphora, De Mulder, Walter and Liliane Tasmowski (eds.), pp. 103–121 | Article
Abstract. Complex reflexives such as himself and the like are D compounds, contrary to self-N compounds which are N compounds. The difference between pronouns and reflexives with respect to their distribution in compounds is expressed configurationally in terms of the difference between heads and… read more
