“…As for the first hypothesis, it predicts that non-local doublings are biclausal constructions. Biclausality has been the focus of attention in order to explain recent findings on RD in Mandarin (Cheung 2015), Germanic languages (Truckenbrodt 2015;Ott and de Vries 2016), and Romance languages (Estigarribia 2020;Fernández-Sánchez 2020). One example of RD is shown in ( 60).…”

The main objective in this study is to describe and offer an account of verbal non-local doubling in Patagonian Spanish (PatSp), an understudied non-standard variety of Spanish in Argentina. We focus on data in which there are duplicated verbs surrounding an XP that bears the nuclear accent of the phrase (XPNA). First, our analysis describes the prosodic, semantic, and morphosyntactic behaviour of the data gathered. Second, we present the problems and challenges that doubling phenomena in PatSp pose for approaches that have tried to explain similar data in other Spanish varieties and other languages, such as the copy theory or prosodic cloning. Third, this work explores a biclausal analysis of verbal non-local doubling in PatSp in which each duplicate originates in a different clause, CP1 and CP2. In this approach, duplicated verbs (V1 and V2, according to their linear distribution) are not derivationally related. We also argue that the XPNA moves to the left periphery of CP2. This movement would account for the three typical traits of verbal duplication in PatSp: the mandatory adjacency between the nuclear accent and V2, the non-locality between verbal duplicates, and the semantic value of mirativity.

“…For example, there are languages like French and German, where P‐stranding is disallowed independently of ellipsis, and therefore there will be no connectivity effect between the remnant and the ellipsis site in the first place. Similarly, island sensitivity is to some extent challenged on empirical grounds, since not all instances of clausal ellipsis are sensitive to (all types of) islands (for relevant discussion, see Griffiths & Lipták 2014, Griffiths 2019, Fernández‐Sánchez 2020).…”

THE SYNTAX OF TWO TYPES OF GAPPING IN SPANISH^*

This paper argues that gapping in Spanish is not a single phenomenon and can be derived from different source structures. The first type of gapping in Spanish involves clausal coordination and is thus derived through TP-deletion, whereas the second type contains low coordination below TP, which allows it to be derived by either vP-deletion or Across-The-Board (ATB) verb movement whose availability depends on the subject-verb agreement patterns found in gapping. This approach also extends to cases where the conjuncts in gapping display various noncanonical word orders, which also fall under two types of gapping and can be analyzed using the same mechanisms as those applicable to SVO-conjuncts.(1) a. Juan compró un libro, y María ___ un disco. Juan bought a book and María a disk 'John bought a book, and Mary bought a disk' b. Juan me dio un libro, y María ____ un disco.
