2020 French subject island constraint? A discourse-based HPSG account Interfaces in Romance: A constraint-based approach, Bîlbîie, Gabriela (ed.), pp. 95–128 | Article
We present new experimental results (corpora and experiments) showing that extraction out of subject, compared with extraction out of object, obeys a pragmatic constraint and not a syntactic constraint. We show how such a constraint can be formalized in an HPSG grammar of French which views… read more
