    A generalization concerning DP-internal ellipsis

    Get PDF
    In this article I consider a particular generalization concerning ellipsis within the extended nominal projection: ellipsis can target a nominal modifier only if all constituents below it are also elided. Building on an analysis of ellipsis grounded in movement to left edges, I suggest that this generalization follows from a condition on DP-internal movement proposed in Cinque (2005).En este artículo se considera una generalización específica relativa a la elipsis dentro de la proyección nominal extendida: un modificador nominal puede ser elidido solo si todos los constituyentes inferiores a este también son elididos. Partiendo de un análisis de la elipsis basado en el movimiento al filo izquierdo, se sugiere que esta generalización es una consecuencia de una condición al movimiento interno al SD propuesta en Cinque (2005), hasta el punto de que solo los constituyentes que contengan el SN (no movido) pueden moverse de manera lícita (y en este caso también ser elididos como consecuencia de esta condición).Neste artigo considero uma generalização particular relativa à elipse no âmbito da projeção nominal alargada: a elipse pode atingir um modificador nominal apenas se todos os constituentes abaixo deste forem também elididos. Construindo uma análise da elipse baseada no movimento para as periferias esquerdas, sugiro que esta generalização decorra de uma condição sobre o movimento de DP-interno proposta em Cinque (2005), na medida em que apenas os constituentes contendo o NP (não movido) podem licitamente mover-se (e, nesse caso em concreto, serem elididos como consequência disso)

    Selective grammatical encoding of emotions in language

    No full text
    In Cinque 2013 I considered one potential argument for Universal Grammar. One stemming from the limited number of functional notions that are grammatically encoded in the languages of the world. What we find is that only a fraction of our cognitive concepts and distinctions seems to receive a grammatical encoding, where by ‘grammatical encoding’ I mean encoding in one of the closed classes of categories (affixes, particles, auxiliaries, clitics, etc.) that belong to the functional rather than the substantive lexicon of languages. Most cognitive concepts and distinctions do not find any such encoding.If one considers emotions one finds that only a tiny subset is grammatically encoded, and universally so, it appears
