Head Movement, Cliticization, Precompilation, and Word Insertion (Comments on Uriagereka’s Paper)

  • Chapter
Current Issues in Comparative Grammar

Part of the book series: Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory ((SNLT,volume 35))

Abstract

These comments will be concerned only with Uriagereka’s analysis, not (for reasons that will become obvious as we proceed) with the implications he claims that ensue from it.

I am indebted to several participants of the Princeton Second Workshop on Comparative Grammar (April 1989) for their comments, in particular to Robert Freidin (who to begin with made it all possible), Joseph Aoun, Luigi Burzio, Richard Kayne, Howard Lasnik, Carlos Quicoli and Luigi Rizzi.

[Added in March 1993: This paper, which is essentially an expanded version of the one I presented (only in part, because of limitations of time) at the 1989 Workshop, was originally written in September 1991 as a commentary on the first four versions of Uriagereka’s paper, with special attention to (what I took to be) the final version, completed in June 1991. The analysis he sketches in the fifth version (completed in May 1992), converges to some extent with the analysis sketched in my commentary, an encouraging sign. Since this convergence appears to be of interest in itself in the present context, I have refrained from introducing substantial changes in this updated revision. I did introduce some modifications and some additional examples to make things clearer or improve readability, added some footnotes relating my commentary to the fifth version of his paper, and included references to work unavailable to me in 1991. On the other hand, I deleted the opening (and a few other incidental remarks), which no longer seemed to me necessary and appropriate. I am indebted to Bruce Hayes and in particular to Robert Freidin for their comments on my first version. I am also indebted to Freidin for a copy of Pilar Barbosa’s paper (and to Richard Kayne for bringing it to my attention), to María Luisa Zubizarreta for a handout of her recent lecture at UCLA and some related clarifications (and for a copy of the manuscript of Ian Roberts’ book), to Guglielmo Cinque for copies of Paola Benincà’s paper and of the paper they coauthored, to Steve Anderson for an electronic copy, sent in the nick of time, of his recent paper, to Claudia Parodi and to Tim Stowell for copies of four recent papers and a draft of a chapter of a dissertation, and to Chang Soo Lee for promptly sending me copies of several articles.]
