Title

Deriving Coordinate Symmetries: A phase-based approach integrating Select, Merge, Copy and Match

John R. te Velde

This monograph proposes a minimalist, phase-based approach to the derivation of coordinate structures, utilizing the operations Copy and Match to account for both the symmetries and asymmetries of coordination. Data are drawn primarily from English, German and Dutch. The basic assumptions are that… read more

Velde, John R. te 2009 Using the Survive principle for deriving coordinate (a)symmetries Towards a Derivational Syntax: Survive-minimalism, Putnam, Michael T. (ed.), pp. 169–192 | Article

This analysis examines the symmetries of coordinate structures, specifically how they can be generated in a minimalist, crash-proof grammar. I show that a phase-based model with selection of lexical items (LIs) before merge must have a matching operation across conjuncts, but this operation is… read more

Velde, John R. te 2009 A conjunction conspiracy at the West Germanic left periphery Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 119–148 | Article

In this analysis I consider one rather common coordinate construction and two less common ones from West Germanic that have two distinguishing properties in common: (i) all consist of conjoined verb-second (V2) clauses, and (ii) there is an ellipse at the left edge of the second conjunct. I propose… read more
