Clause-internal successive cyclicity: Phasality or DP intervention? - Natural Language & Linguistic Theory The well-known requirement that movement must proceed successive-cyclically through intermediate landing sites is standardly attributed to the presence of locality domains (phases) along the extractio...

New paper, arguing against the status of v as a phase head. Stefan Keine and I argue that existing evidence in favour of v-phasality at closer inspection rather calls against it. Check it out!

Deze cartoon van @anntelnaes.bsky.social werd geweigerd door de Washington Post, de krant die gekocht is door Jeff Bezos. De maker heeft ontslag genomen omdat ze vindt dat vrije pers een voorwaarde is voor de democratie. Wat als we deze cartoon vandaag eens massaal verspreiden?

It's similar in spirit (no movement but direct linearization), but different in the sense that each head is linearized separately. I.e., projection lines aren't linearized by/as one morphological unit.

Head movement and linear edges - lingbuzz/008704 In this paper, we have set out to model classical head movement effects as the consequence of a particular linearization mechanism, rather than a structure-altering transformation. In other words, we ...
