2024 The evolution of expletives The Evolution of Expletives: Theoretical and diachronic perspectives, Fuß, Eric and Benjamin Lowell Sluckin (eds.), pp. 1–26 | Introduction
2017 A corpus-based analysis of pronoun choice in German relative clauses Current trends in analyzing syntactic variation, De Cuypere, Ludovic, Clara Vanderschueren and Gert de Sutter (eds.), pp. 195–218 | Article
This paper investigates the conditions that govern the choice between the German neuter singular relative pronouns das ‘that’ and was ‘what’. We show that das requires a lexical head noun, while in all other cases was is usually the preferred option; therefore, the distribution of das and was is… read more
2014 Complementizer agreement (in Bavarian): Feature inheritance or feature insertion? Bavarian Syntax: Contributions to the theory of syntax, Grewendorf, Günther and Helmut Weiß (eds.), pp. 51–82 | Article
In recent minimalist work, it has been argued that C-agreement provides conclusive support for the following theoretical hypotheses (cf. Carstens 2003; van Koppen 2005; Haegeman & van Koppen 2012): (i) C hosts a separate set of phi-features, a parametric choice possibly linked to the V2 property;… read more
2009 The syntax and semantics of the temporal anaphor “then” in Old and Middle English Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 171–196 | Article
The fact that þa/þonne ‘then’ trigger V2 in OE is commonly accounted for by assuming that these adverbs are operators that trigger V-to-C movement. This paper presents an alternative analysis based on the observation that þa/þonne and pronouns are in complementary distribution in preverbal position. read more
