1. 1. Probes, pronouns and binding in the Minimalist Program

   Författare :Fredrik Heinat; Engelska; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Grammar; probes; agree; pronouns; distributed morphology; syntax; minimalims; semantics; semiotics; Grammatik; semantik; semiotik;

   Sammanfattning : In chapter 2, I claim that not only heads, but phrases, too, are probes. I show that there are in fact no theoretical and empirical problems involved if we abandon the stipulation that only heads may probe. In chapter 3, I explore the structure of nominal expressions. LÄS MER

3. 2. An inquiry into Minimalist phrase structure

   Författare :Jonathan White; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Nyckelord :phrase structure; syntax; syntactic theory; the Minimalist program; result clauses; circumstance adjuncts;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis takes as its starting point the proposal in Kayne (1994) that all syntactic structures are underlyingly spec-head-complement, and that they are right-branching. I will investigate this proposal taking data from English degree constructions, namely result clauses and comparatives. LÄS MER

4. 3. On the Relative Order of Adverbs in the I-domain: A study of English and Swedish

   Författare :Fabian Beijer; Engelska; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Relativized Minimality; Starke 2001 ; Cinque 1999 ; Minimalist Program; PAROLE; BNC; functional sequence; functional projection; functional head; hierarchical order; Swedish; English; I-domain; AdvP; adverb phrase; adverb; adverbial; syntactic features; word order; merge; English language and literature; Engelska språk och litteratur ;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation is a theoretical and empirical investigation of the ordering of adverbs in the I-domain. Within the generative-minimalist framework, adverbs have traditionally been analysed as adjuncts, adjoined to the syntactic structure in semantically appropriate positions (e.g. Jackendoff 1972).

5. 4. The Syntax of the Swedish Present Participle

   Författare :Camilla Thurén; tolkning i offentlig sektor och översättning danska och isländska Avdelningen för svenska; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; adjunct; participial clause; internal structure; complex predicate; Swedish; syntax; present participle;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract The Syntax of the Swedish Present Participle offers a generative analysis of the Swedish present participle with the central goal of accounting for its distribution and function. The analysis offered rests on three hypotheses: (i) Present participles are verbs, (ii) Present participles can appear in complex predicates, and (iii) Adjunct present participial clauses may be interpreted through Control, where Control is assumed to equal an Agree relation.

7. 5. (De)composing the middle : A minimalist approach to middles in English and Swedish

   Författare :Eva Klingvall; Engelska; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; passive; argument structure; past participle; Distributed Morphology; root; agentivity; middle; genericity; disposition ascription; modification; grammatical features; verbal alternation;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with a particular type of generic sentence that is referred to as the ‘middle construction’ in the literature. The aim of the thesis is to offer a theoretical account of middles couched within the non-lexicalist framework of Distributed Morphology (see Halle & Marantz 1993 and subsequent work), and, more generally, within the Minimalist Program (see e.
