2016 Differential object marking in Basque varieties Microparameters in the Grammar of Basque, Fernández, Beatriz and Jon Ortiz de Urbina (eds.), pp. 93–138 | Article
This chapter studies Differential Object Marking (DOM) in nonstandard varieties of Basque.

2016 Gaps and stopgaps in Basque finite verb agreement* Microparameters in the Grammar of Basque, Fernández, Beatriz and Jon Ortiz de Urbina (eds.), pp. 139–192 | Article

2011 Building and interpreting nonthematic A-positions: A-resumption in English and Breton Resumptive Pronouns at the Interfaces, Rouveret, Alain (ed.), pp. 241–286 | Article

It is argued that the prediction is correct, and mechanics… read more

The Person Case Constraint (PCC) blocks a 1st/2nd person DP from Agree and Case assignment if it is separated from a probe by an intervener. I examine four separate strategies that circumvent the PCC: through giving the blocked DP case and agreement that would not otherwise be possible (absolutive… read more
