On the Nature of Merge: External Merge, Internal Merge, and Parallel Merge
TL;DR: This article argues in favor of a new type of Merge, Parallel Merge, which combines the properties of External Merge and Internal Merge, and shows that a number of otherwise puzzling properties of across-the-board questions follow naturally from such an account.

TL;DR: The authors re-examine a syntactic typology of small clause constructions, based on new crosslinguistic evidence from languages that allow two different kinds of copula elements: verbal copulas and pronominal copulas.

- 06 Jun 2011
TL;DR: Citko et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a theory of merge, move, and labeling to construct symmetric syntactic structures, and showed that merge can create symmetric structures, move can target either of two potentially moveable objects and labels can be constructed symmetrically from the features of two objects.

The interaction between across‐the‐board wh‐movement and left‐branch extraction
TL;DR: It is shown that ATB left-branch extraction is subject to a rather surprising restriction: the ‘‘remnants’’ inside the second conjunct must be distinct from their “‘correspondents” inside the first conjunct.

Towards a new typology of coordinated wh-questions
TL;DR: The authors developed a typology of multiple wh-questions with coordinated wh-pronouns and showed the existence of three distinct structures for such questions: one mono-clausal and two bi-clasusal.
