Subsequently\, based on a more principled approach to syntactic transformations with the Projection Principle at its core\, the hypothesis that trees could genuinely shrink in this way was generally abandoned. Current minimalist approaches maintain this assumption by postulating that syntactic operations can make trees grow (via Merge) or stay the same size (via Agree) but can never make them shrink. Against this background\, and with the Projection Principle long gone\, I will argue that there is every reason to postulate a general operation Remove that is as a complete mirror image of Merge and obeys exactly the same constraints (e.g.\, featural triggers\, strict cyclicity). Evidence for Remove is partly conceptual (upon closer inspection\, such an operation turns out to be implicitly adopted in standard approaches to minimalist syntax anyway)\, but mainly empirical (also see Chomsky (2014)\, Pesestky (2016)). I will illustrate the empirical relevance of Remove on the basis of six case studies from the syntax of German: (i) passive\, (ii) applicatives\,\n(iii) ellipsis\, (iv) restructuring\, (v) complex prefields\, (vi) tough-movement (= modal passive).

However\, while in\nconstructions with nominalized adjectives the classifier has referential properties (similar to\nthose of English one)\, in the compound the referential property is not available.\nThis paper offers a possible morphosyntactic account in the Distributed Morphology (DM)\nframework for the different occurrences of classifiers in Mixtec. Adapting an analysis offered for\nEnglish compounds (Harley\, 2009) we propose that in all instances of classifiers we are dealing\nwith heads of nominal nP projections\, but that in compounds the non-head noun incorporates URL:https://linguistics.ucla.edu/event/syntax-semantics-seminar-iara-mantenuro-brice-roberts-ucla-classifiers-as-np-heads-in-san-sebastian-del-monte-mixtec/ LOCATION:Campbell Hall 2122 CATEGORIES:Syntax Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180518T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180518T160000 DTSTAMP:20180518T183005Z CREATED:20180514T183004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180518T183005Z UID:13162-1526652000-1526659200@linguistics.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Syntax and Semantics Seminar: Byron Ahn "How to Build "Yourself" Up: Reflexive Anaphors from the Inside-Out" DESCRIPTION:Explorations of reflexivity have looked at how a set of reflexive anaphors distribute in larger structures (particularly in clauses)\, taking for granted that reflexive anaphors constitute a natural class to which the grammar can make explicit reference (e.g.\, with binding principles). In this talk\, we will look more closely at how the internal structure of English “self-phrases” relates to their external distribution. We will conclude that self-phrases are morphosyntactically composed of (minimally) a possessive pronoun and a √SELF morpheme\, and that the reflexive distribution of an expression like “herself” comes about by a nominal-internal REFL morpheme being a local relationship with the nominal D head. This means that an English-style reflexive anaphor (i.e. a “self-phrase” whose distribution is constrained by binding principles) is a derived object; as such\, a reflexive anaphor is not a static [+anaphor] object in the lexicon. I will then speculate about grammatical operations involved in checking the phi-features of the pronominal component of the “self-phrase” (probably not Agree) and some intersections with semantics (types of meanings available depending on anaphoric form).
