“…As for specificity, even though it has been argued that indeed this is the case for MG doubling constructions (Iatridou, 1995;Anagnostopoulou, 1997) there are plenty of sentences involving a bare quantifier plus doubling which do not exhibit any specificity effect or optionally exhibit a specificity effect 38 :…”

“…Crucially, these XPs appear to be invisible with respect to the second-position requirement. If these first-position items are base-generated in the left periphery (Anagnostopoulou 1997;Wiltschko 1997;Zaenen 1997;Frey 2004) or if these structures result from ellipsis within a bi-clausal structure (Ott 2014), the apparent exception to V2 is unproblematic because the bottleneck effect is a restriction on movement.…”

Verb second and its deviations: An argument for feature scattering in the left periphery

This article focuses on the analysis of verb-second (V2) requirements in light of evidence that the clausal left periphery contains a series of functional projections in a fixed hierarchy (Rizzi 1997;Benincà & Poletto 2004; among many others). I discuss previous approaches to V2, the bottleneck effect and stacked head theories, and argue that they are generally unable to account for a variety of "relaxed" V2 systems that allow V3 or V4 in some contexts. I propose a new analysis of variation in the strictness of V2 in terms of the feature scattering hypothesis (Giorgi & Pianesi 1996); languages can vary in the number of functional category features that are bundled on individual heads. This allows a straightforward account for the attested typology of relaxed V2 systems, and a new explanation for cross-linguistic variation in the instantiation of functional projections.Keywords: syntax; verb-second word order; bottleneck effect; feature scattering The cartographic program and the problem of restricted instantiationFollowing Rizzi (1997) a variety of evidence has emerged to suggest that the left edge of the clause, the traditional complementizer phrase, contains additional internal structure. Numerous works within the cartographic approach propose that rather than a single projection, the left edge of the clause includes a series of distinct functional projections, collectively referred to as the extended left periphery. These functional heads perform the various functions of complementizer-like elements, generally related to clause typing and the encoding of information structure. While the body of research within the approach has given rise to many proposed structures, we will consider for illustrative purposes the "core"

“…One first argument, put forth by Cinque (1990), Iatridou (1995), Anagnostopoulou (1997), NGLE (2009: 40.3i) and others, is that if CLLDs involve movement, we would expect it to be an instance of A'-movement. This A'-movement should interact, then, with other types of A'-movement, or with items known to acts as interveners for A'-movement.…”

ABSTRACT. This article presents the main facts about how information structure is syntactically codified in Spanish, with particular attention to the syntax of topics and foci. These facts will be used to assess whether cartographic and minimalist approaches can, in their pure version, account precisely for this set of facts in a predictive way. We discuss the taxonomy of topics and foci, the evidence for their syntactic position, their A'-movement properties, the asymmetries between left-and right-dislocated elements, and the availability of information structure inside subordinate clauses.Keywords. topic; focus; information structure; embedded contexts; dislocation; root clause RESUMEN. Este artículo presenta los principales datos acerca de la codificación sintáctica de la estructura informativa en español, con especial atención a la sintaxis de tópicos y focos. Estos hechos serán utilizados para evaluar si, en su forma más pura, las teorías cartográficas o minimistas pueden explicar estos hechos de una forma predictiva. El trabajo discute la taxonomía de tópicos y focos, qué datos hay para identificar su posición sintáctica, sus propiedades de movimiento A', las asimetrías entre elementos dislocados a izquierda y derecha, y la posibilidad de introducir estructura informativa marcada en el interior de las oraciones subordinadas.
