LSA 2019

Posted on January 8, 2019January 10, 2019 by Andrei Antonenko

I have presented my work on Predicate Doubling in Russian at the Linguistics Society of American annual meeting in New York on January 3, 2019.

Abstract:

In Predicate Doubling constructions, either an entire predicate (VP-Doubling) or a bare verb (V-Doubling) occurs in the CP-domain; the doubled verb appears in a non-finite form. In case of VP-Doubling, the arguments of the verb only occur in the higher instance. This paper provides novel data from Russian and argues that while similar, VP-Doubling and V-Doubling must be analyzed differently. VP-Doubling involves base-generation of the entire predicate in the CP-peripheral position, while V-Doubling is an instance of head movement. I consider island effects, identity requirement, and long-distance doubling, and demonstrate how these asymmetries can be derived from the proposed analysis.
