Universitet i Tromsøantonio fabregas en uit no Resumen Uno de los problemas fundamentales en la organización de la lengua es cómo se relacionan léxico y gramática para componer enunciados utilizados comunicativamente.En este trabajo estudiamos dos casos empíricos en los que ambos componentes interactúan de diversas formas, para argumentar sobre esta base que un sistema con inserción tardía donde el léxico se introduce en las representaciones gramaticales sin niveles intermedios de adaptación es el marco que puede dar cuenta de estos datos con menor número de hipótesis adicionales. Los fenómenos estudiados son las lecturas de variable ligada de los pronombres de primera y segunda persona y la sustitución de los interrogativos léxicamente especificados por una forma subespecificada qué en el español coloquial de la variedad peninsular. Through the study of two empirical cases we argue for a late insertion account in which items are introduced to spell out grammatical constructions without the intermediation of additional levels of operations. We argue that data like those are best handled by a system like that, to the extent that no additional assumptions have to be made. The two phenomena studied are the bound variable reading of first and second person pronouns and qué-extension in the colloquial Peninsular Spanish variety.

“…The late insertion approach of Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz 1993 and much related work) was a step forward, and so was the insight of nanosyntax (see Fábregas 2009;Starke 2011) that E-lexical items may represent or express larger structures than just terminal nodes. However, even though it seems possible to build on and develop these ideas, 46 the question of how syntactic structures get reinterpreted as phonetic expressions or as visual or tactile shape formations remains a largely unresolved puzzle.…”

This essay discusses language uniformity and diversity in the light of recent developments of the minimalist program (Hauser et al. 2002;Chomsky 2008;Berwick & Chomsky 2011, and much related work). It pursues two leading ideas. First, Universal Grammar (UG) is maximally minimal: hence early internal language (I-language) is largely uniform across individuals, language variation being mainly or entirely confined to externalization. Second, the mapping from I-language to external language (E-language) is non-isomorphic (the Nonisomorphy Generalization), morphological processes such as agreement and case marking being E-language phenomena, taking place in the externalization component. The first line of reasoning converges with many of Chomsky's recent ideas, the second one is more divergent.

“…In an OEPV, which -as we will see -involves an additional level of verbal structure, this could be handled by traditional P-incorporation to the highest verbal head, but this solution would not work in the case of SEPVs on the standard assumption that incorporation always targets higher nodes. We would like to suggest that a Phrasal Spell Out approach (Weerman and EversVermeul 2002, Neeleman and Szendröi 2007, Caha 2009, Fábregas 2009 could capture the facts. In this approach, exponents can lexicalise complex syntactic constituents provided they form syntactic constituents.…”

Aspectual notions, although displayed most clearly in verbs, manifest across categories, with notions like (un)boundedness manifesting themselves in several instantiations which are sometimes specific of individual grammatical categories. This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on how aspectual notions emerge in different categorial domains by an analysis of subject-experiencer and object-experiencer psychological predicates (SEPVs and OEPVs, respectively). We review the evidence that SEPVs denote individual level (IL) states, and provide new facts -taken from the behaviour of participles -in favour of that diagnostic; we also argue that OEPVs should be classified as states of the stage level (SL) class. We argue that OEPVs denote states with an onset, which corresponds to the denotation of SLs. SEPVs simply denote states without boundaries, which we argue to correspond to IL predicates. Finally, we show how these two denotations follow without further assumptions from the structures proposed for SEPVs and OEPVs in previous work, specially Pesetsky (1995), making it unnecessary to postulate that the distinction is of lexical nature.
