The model of clause structure, syntactic computation, and locality concerns Kleanthes Grohmann… read more[Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 66] 2003. xv, 369 pp.

The linguistic reality of Cyprus is diglossic between the local variety of Cypriot Greek and the official language Standard Modern Greek. One of the better studied differences between the two varieties is clitic placement in syntactic environments where one requires enclisis and the other proclisis. read more

The hypothesis of the copy theory of movement forces us to look at mismatches between syntax and LF on the one hand, and syntax and PF on the other in particular ways, often revealing new insights. Through such a lens, we examine the syntactic expression of pejorative mood through echo… read more
