“…his examples of locality violation (12a–f) 6 and absence of a syntactically identical antecedent (16a–c)). Of specific interest to the present paper are the examples of connectivity violations in (4a) and (4b) (in Miller
2014a: ex. (15a) and (16) respectively), to which we add further examples found in the COCA, (4c) and (4d):
These examples are intuitively highly acceptable, yet in (4a), the remnant is a PP[of], whereas the correlate is a PP[about]; similarly, in (4b), (4c) and (4d), the remnant is a PP[to] complement of give or tell , whereas the correlate is the first NP direct object in the double direct object construction.…”
