Abstract
abstract
The current work offers an analysis of definite marker placement in Bulgarian, deriving it through postsyntactic movement of D to a head bearing nominal features, with locality defined in terms of feature-relativized closest c-command. In addition to capturing previous observations about the distribution of the definite marker, the analysis is supported by novel evidence from exceptionally inflectionless modifiers in the language. The account is in line with a more general formulation of postsyntactic movement in terms of c-command, and highlights the relevance of exceptionally inflectionless elements to morphosyntactic theory.
摘要当前的研究对保加利亚语中的定语标记位置进行了分析,通过 D 在句法后移动到带有名词特征的头部得出定语标记的位置,并根据特征相对化的最接近的 c 命令来定义位置。除了捕捉到以前关于定语标记分布的观察结果外,该分析还得到了来自该语言中例外的无语气修饰语的新证据的支持。这种解释与以 c-command 为单位的句法后运动的更一般的表述是一致的,并突出了异常无语气词元素与形态句法理论的相关性。
期刊介绍:
Journal of Slavic Linguistics, or JSL, is the official journal of the Slavic Linguistics Society. JSL publishes research articles and book reviews that address the description and analysis of Slavic languages and that are of general interest to linguists. Published papers deal with any aspect of synchronic or diachronic Slavic linguistics – phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics – which raises substantive problems of broad theoretical concern or proposes significant descriptive generalizations. Comparative studies and formal analyses are also published. Different theoretical orientations are represented in the journal. One volume (two issues) is published per year, ca. 360 pp.
