A third structure building operation for Minimalist Grammars
- Johannes Schneider (Universität Leipzig)
Abstract
I propose a new structure-building operation for Minimalist Grammars (Stabler 1997) which allows the grammar formalism to grow trees with more than one root. I demonstrate that together with the assumption that this new long-distance dependency holds between nominal arguments and their selectors, one can generate Horn amalgams and parasitic gaps with a number of desired properties.
Keywords: Minimalist Grammars, amalgams, parasitic gaps, multiple roots
