This also holds for studies on partitivity. In this paper various methods are presented that have recently been used in the literature to study variation in the linguistic expression and the use of partitive constructions and partitive elements in Romance, Germanic and some other languages, language varieties and dialects. It is argued that different types of research call for adapted methods. It is shown that the use of different methods may lead to different results, although this is not always the case. The overview presented in this paper reveals that in recent years much progress has been made in the study of variation in partitives.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":"89 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140964154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The logical internal argument of the construction occurs in subject position and the logical external argument is either absent on the surface or represented in the construction as a for-PP. In this paper, I consider the syntax of the Ewe nyá-construction, exploring data from the Tongugbe dialect. I show that the nyá-construction shares properties with English middles. I demonstrate that the agent or experiencer for-PP that may occur in the nyá -construction is its external argument, projected in Spec vP. Further, I argue that even if the for-PP is not overtly realized, it is syntactically projected in Spec vP, contrary to theories like Bruening 2013. The analysis I put forward provides support for the Theta-Criterion, which forces all arguments to be syntactically projected.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":"2 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140962694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that DOM in Turkish and PhG are both instances of structural accusative case and\u0000 DOM can be formally modeled as context sensitive dependent case. We propose that two factors caused the emergence of DOM in PhG,\u0000 namely (i) case neutralization in indefinite contexts, and (ii) an increase in the number of V-NP idioms borrowed from Turkish\u0000 where the NP is in bare form. These perturbations led to a significant change in the overall data created by the community\u0000 resulting in mixed input for the younger generations. Once the amount of bare NPs passed a certain threshold, a divergent grammar\u0000 became inevitable.

Across\u0000 numerous possible instantiations of the construction, there appear to be in fact a quite limited number of grammars, which are\u0000 generated by an implicational hierarchy of functional heads, along with the availability of a silent verb have. The\u0000 overall picture supports several broader conclusions. First, bare-infinitive–selecting verbs are nearly “closed class” because\u0000 they have special syntactic properties that go beyond semantic or even syntactic selection: they must value the temporal verbal\u0000 features of the embedded verb, or else provide a structural context for such valuation. Second, silent verbs can be licensed by\u0000 head-moving to a modal head in the extended projection. This movement is freely available, but silence demands recoverability,\u0000 which limits its application only to certain verbs, and certain uses/meanings of those verbs. Third, in addition to previously\u0000 known configurations for building parasitic participle constructions, movement of a lower verb to a higher verb can extend the\u0000 phase of the lower verb and lead to its silence. Fourth, the distribution of rather suggests that volitional\u0000 meaning is not a primitive, but is constructed from smaller primitives. Finally, microvariation reveals a tight connection among\u0000 logically distinct functional heads, suggesting that they are not acquired independently of each other, but interact in\u0000 significant ways.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":" March","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140383510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these islands, a bilingual Spanish variety, known here as Raizal Spanish, coexists with a\u0000 monolingual Spanish variety spoken by Colombian immigrants (Costeño Spanish). Data consists of over 3,300 tokens (867 trills and\u0000 2531 taps) compared across three generations of Raizal Spanish speakers with a sample of 528 segments (133 trills and 395 taps)\u0000 produced in Costeño Spanish. Results show that although the frequency of use of vibrant taps and trills in younger generations\u0000 increasingly resembles those presented in the monolingual variety, the behavior of rhotic variation is different in both Spanish\u0000 varieties. In addition, non-vibrant or approximant variants are increasingly prevalent in the first and second generation\u0000 informants with rates doubling those of the younger generation and monolingual Costeño Spanish. Results of the cross-variety\u0000 comparison show that Raizal Spanish displays a generational continuity where a restructuring of the constraint ordering starts in\u0000 the second generation and is completed with younger Raizales. On the contrary, Costeño Spanish behaves differently in terms of the\u0000 systematic linguistic conditionings. The evidence suggests that rhotic variation has changed internally within both varieties.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":" 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140384396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The examination of these patterns reveals various\u0000 theoretical implications. First, head-directionality may change as a result of language contact. Second, in some instances,\u0000 certain functional categories are borrowed as semantically vacuous heads, and are identical to their bare counterparts (cf. Marantz 2013; Anagnostopoulou and Samioti\u0000 2014). Therefore, such semantically empty heads are ignored for meaning. Moreover, informed by the rarely-discussed\u0000 trilingual language-mixing contexts, the study demonstrates that various formal approaches to code-switching which rely on either\u0000 a distinction between functional vs lexical categories or phasehood as the defining constraint on code-switching are not tenable\u0000 (e.g., Poplack 1981; Belazi et al. 1994;\u0000 López et al. 2017). This study demonstrates language mixing is more permissive for\u0000 the languages in question than would be predicted by these approaches, and proposes the No-Reversal Constraint,\u0000 whose governing restriction is that code-switching does not allow a switch back to a language that has already been externalized\u0000 earlier in the derivation.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":"168 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140249631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although this marker has previously been\u0000 analysed as an adjectivaliser (Hu and Perry 2018), we show that it has a much broader\u0000 range of uses. We suggest that the bulk of cases can be captured in a unified way by supposing that the marker in question\u0000 displays a type of possessive semantics (which we label possession-as-attribute), which is defined by delineating\u0000 a kind (in the sense of e.g. Carlson 1977; Chierchia 1998), with similar semantics being expressed by adjectival elements in languages such as\u0000 English. It is observed, however, that this meaning can emerge in the absence of the marker -lao, and that\u0000 -lao can, in a restricted set of cases, surface in the absence of this meaning, and we suggest that these\u0000 facts are attributable to the diachronic development of the marker and can be captured synchronically by making use of\u0000 late-insertion mechanisms for phonological and semantic features. We propose that the case of -lao provides a\u0000 suggestive argument for a substance-free approach to syntactic features, whereby syntactic features are not\u0000 inherently specified for interface interpretations. Other cross-linguistic implications of our analysis are noted, in particular\u0000 for the representation of adjectives.","PeriodicalId":53947,"journal":{"name":"Linguistic Variation","volume":"104 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140079835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
