This paper puts forward an account of the Extended Projection Principle (EPP) based on Chomsky's (2013, 2015) Labeling Theory. Departing from Chomsky's (2015) proposal, which adopts “feature strength” (Chomsky 1993, 1995), it is suggested that the need for Spec,TP to be occupied by a DP can be attributed to labeling reasons, under the assumption that T is a copy of C (these heads being “bundled” in...
In this article, we examine the current situation of studies that concentrate on the study of morphological variation in Spanish. We start discussing the place of morphology in current linguistic theory, and what its different aspects are, a question that is previous to the identification of the relevant phenomena. Section 2 provides an overview of the situation of variationist studies in Spanish,...
This paper discusses the properties of VOS sentences in Romance and their bearing on Case assignment, verb movement, parametric variation, and the structure of the vP periphery / low IP area. The literature on Romance VOS has argued that this order is derived either through object shift (Ordóñez 1997, 1998, 2000) or VP fronting (Belletti 2001, 2004; Zubizarreta 1998), providing empirical evidence...
Abstract. This paper discusses Chomsky’s (2008) phase‐based analysis of the Subject Condition (where islandhood is regarded as a locality constraint on phase edges), paying particular attention to the claim that successive cyclic A‐movement can be used to circumvent islandhood in ϕ‐defective environments. Both hypotheses are considered in the context of Romance, where subextraction from (post‐verbal)...
