  • An LFG approach to the syntax of quotation
    Martin Vigo, Eugenio (2012-12)
    This paper attempts to give an account of the syntax of quotation from an LFG perspective. I claim that quotes are inserted at N’ positions by making use of a special phrase structure rule that makes the quote’s f-structure ...
  • Argument realization: grammatical function and case assignment
    Yang, Fengrong (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2019-11-13)
    In this dissertation we propose a new mapping theory within the OT-LFG framework to account for the fact that in Catalan and other Romance languages, the direct argument of intransitive verbs (whether unaccusative or ...

    Alsina i Keith, Àlex; Yang, Fengrong (CSLI Publications, 2018)
    The goal of this paper is to analyze the behavior of the single direct argument of intransitive verbs in Catalan, including its encoding as a grammatical function, verbal agreement, case assignment, and expression by means ...
  • Constraining expletives in English
    Alsina i Keith, Àlex; Yang, Fengrong (CSLI Publications, 2019)
    This paper aims to present a theory of expletives1 in English within LFG in which the distribution of expletives follows from general principles and from the lexical entries of the relevant expletives. Consequently, ...
  • Copular inversion and non-subject agreement
    Vigo, Eugenio M. (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2016-11-22)
    In this thesis I propose an explanation for the facts of copular inversion in Spanish, Catalan, and other Romance languages, as well as in German. Copular inversion is a phenomenon found in some languages, in which, at ...
  • Copular inversion and non-subject agreement
    Alsina i Keith, Àlex; Vigo, Eugenio M. (CSLI Publications, 2014)
    In this paper we analyze the phenomenon of copular inversion (CI) in Catalan, which consists in the copula not agreeing with its subject but with its complement. We claim this is due to the idea that in CI-languages verbs ...
  • Des d'un altre angle: evolució de la k llatina intervocàlica precedida d'una vocal àtona medial en català
    Alsina i Keith, Àlex (Institut d’Estudis Catalans, 1986)
  • F-to-c-structure mapping: accounting for inflectional morphology and periphrasis
    Alsina i Keith, Àlex (CSLI Publications, 2023)
    The treatment of inflectional periphrasis is problematic in LFG, apparently because of the lexicalist nature of the framework. A close inspection of what is usually understood by lexicalism reveals two distinct, but ...

    Alsina i Keith, Àlex; Vigo, Eugenio M. (CSLI Publications, 2017)
    The goal of this paper is to explain verbal agreement in Plains Cree (Algonquian), in which verb forms always agree with the most prominent argument with respect to person and other referential features, but adopt either ...

    Resnik, Gabriela (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2011-05-09)
    El propósito general de esta tesis es demostrar que el denominado aspecto léxico o aktionsart es una propiedad transcategorial, que implica rasgos que pueden asociarse a las raíces léxicas en el SD independientemente de ...
  • Obligatory clitic expression, clitic omission, and the morphology-syntax interface
    Alsina i Keith, Àlex (CSLI Publications, 2020)
    In the Romance language Catalan, some verbs and some argument-structure configurations normally require the reflexive clitic; however, in certain constructions, the expected reflexive clitic is optionally missing; and, ...
  • Order of valency-changing morphemes
    Alsina i Keith, Àlex (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2023)
    Valency-changing morphemes, in those languages that allow more than one in the same word, show ordering restrictions and effects of syntactic and semantic scope. In some languages, a given pair of valency-changing morphemes ...
  • Partitivity in romance and the syntax-morphology connection
    Alsina i Keith, Àlex (CSLI Publications, 2022)
    This paper claims that the relationship between morphology and syntax is multidirectional. It argues against the generally accepted position in LFG that word formation feeds the syntax and that syntax cannot feed word ...
