AMDS.GlOW36 Language Faculty, Complexity Reduction and Symmetry Breaking Anna Maria Di Sciullo, Université du Québec à Montréal 1. I assume that the Language Faculty is stable, it does not vary though time and space, and that language development requires experience (Chomsky 1995, 2005, 2011). I develop the view that language evolutionary development is the result of the interaction of the languag

What a syllable can tell us on language Joana Rosselló joana.rossello@ub.edu University of Barcelona Language is a system of discrete infinity (DI). Any human being can cope with an infinite number of sentences (syntax) and chunks of well-formed sound/gesture sequences (phonology). Any human has also at his/her disposal an open-ended lexicon. In this paper I put forward the proposal that DI relies

Who triggers focus intervention effects? Haoze Li and Jess Law The Chinese University of Hong Kong 1 Introduction This paper concerns focus intervention effects (FIEs) in Chinese. Specifically, when wh-words are preceded by focus particles and their focused associates, wh-questions become ungrammatical (1) (focus particles are boldfaced and their focused associates are underlined throughout).

GLOW submission In Defense of the Merge-Only Hypothesis Koji Fujita / Kyoto University In this presentation I defend and further consolidate the “Merge-only” hypothesis of current minimalism (Chomsky 2008, 2010, Berwick 2011, Berwick & Chomsky 2011, inter alia) by proposing a theory of language evolution according to which it was Merge that gave rise to other major components of the human language

Dinka and the architecture of long-distance extraction Norvin Richards and Coppe van Urk, MIT Summary: Work by Rackowski and Richards (2005) on Tagalog and Den Dikken (2009, 2012) on Hungarian shows that agreement between v and CP is necessary for long-distance extraction. These authors develop proposals in which this agreement allows v to probe into the CP phase, thereby doing away with the need
