Case inversion in Georgian: Syntactic properties and sentence processing
Full text linkSkopeteas S, Fanselow G, Asatiani R. Case inversion in Georgian: Syntactic properties and sentence processing. In: Lamers M, De Swart P, eds. Case, Word Order, and Prominence. Studies in Theoretical Psycholinguistics. New York: Springer; 2011: 145-171.The morphological and syntactic facts from Georgian create a unique puzzle for the study of sentence processing. The word order is characterized by considerable freedom and case marking is not uni-directionally associated with -roles. This article presents a grammatical account of Georgian case marking and a study on incremental sentences processing. The empirical findings show that case is indeed a more reliable cue than word order in processing clauses with thematically ambiguous arguments. Furthermore, the obtained data suggest an asymmetry between dative experiencers and dative actors, such that only the revision of the thematic properties of the latter is associated with high processing cost

Cyclic phonology–syntax-interaction : movement to first position in German
No full textThis paper investigates the nature of the attraction of XPs to clauseinitial position in German (and other languages). It argues that there are two different types of preposing. First, an XP can move when it is attracted by an EPP-like feature of Comp. Comp can, however, also attract elements that bear the formal marker of some semantic or pragmatic (information theoretic) function. This second type of movement is driven by the attraction of a formal property of the moved element. It has often been misanalysed as “operator” movement in the past

On Gisbert Fanselow’s (2002) argument against VP remnant movement
No full textThe theory of chain linearization I propose in a number of works predicts a typology in which German would exemplify a type of language in which some cases of incomplete category fronting do not involve VP remnant movement. This is precisely what Gisbert Fanselow argues for in one of his papers. In this note, I present this argument in its dialectical background and respond to some issues which arise from it
