Minimalist Syntax: Exploring the Structure of English

TL;DR: In this article, Tsimpli and Dimitrakopoulou make a claim about the nature of end-state grammars in older second language learners: uninterpretable.

TL;DR: Theoretical approaches to grammar acquisition, speech perception, segmentation and production, and binding, quantification and control are studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed, fully explicit account of the observed variation is available within a framework embracing the notion of grammatical construction, which explicates similarities and differences among topicalization, interrogatives, relatives, exclamatives, and comparative correlatives in terms of linguistic types and hierarchical constraint inheritance.

TL;DR: International Journal of Language Studies operates on a double-blind peer review policy; it publishes papers which report the findings of original research on the current trends and topics in applied linguistics, linguistics and language research.

TL;DR: The work of as discussed by the authors summarizes, rethinks, and extends a decade of the author's work on the role assignments, the ways in which the roles implied by verbs of a given type play out in terms of position and other syntactic functions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a copy theory of verb movement based on the generalization of Holmberg's generalization [HG] is presented, tying it to verb movement, and this is defended against the alternative formulation presented in Holmberg (1999).

TL;DR: The authors show that multiple wh-fronting languages (MWFL) do not behave uniformly regarding wh-movement and eliminate MWFL from the crosslinguistic typology concerning whmovement in multiple questions.
