Abstract

When we couple the cyclic expansion of a probe’s domain assumed in Cyclic Agree (Rezac 2003, 2004, Béjar and Rezac 2009) with the lack of formal distinction between heads, intermediate projections, and phrases emphasized in Bare Phrase Structure (Chomsky 1995a,b), an interesting prediction arises. Maximal projections should be able to probe through the same mechanisms that allow intermediate projections to probe in familiar cases of Cyclic Agree. I argue that this prediction is borne out. I analyze agreeing adjunct C in Amahuaca (Panoan; Peru) as a maximal projection that probes its c-command domain in second-cycle Agree. This account derives C’s simultaneous sensitivity to DPs within its own clause and in the clause to which it adjoins. Therefore, I conclude that Amahuaca provides evidence that maximal projections can be probes. The account also yields insight into the syntax of switch-reference in Panoan and beyond.
同意中的循环展开:作为探针的极大投影
当我们将循环同意(Rezac 2003, 2004, bzajar和Rezac 2009)中假设的探针域的循环扩展与Bare Phrase Structure (Chomsky 1995a,b)中强调的头部、中间预测和短语之间缺乏正式区分结合起来时,一个有趣的预测出现了。最大投影应该能够通过允许中间投影在熟悉的循环一致情况下探测的相同机制进行探测。我认为这个预言是被证实的。我分析了阿玛瓦卡语(帕诺瓦语;(秘鲁)作为在第二循环中探测其c命令域的最大投影。这一解释推导出C在其自己的条款和它所毗邻的条款中对dp的同时敏感性。因此,我得出结论,Amahuaca提供了最大投影可以探针的证据。这篇文章还深入了解了Panoan及其他语言中switch-reference的语法。
