SUMMARY:Alejo Alcaraz: Bigger than a null object. VP-Ellipsis in Spanish
DESCRIPTION:Seminari del CLT\nBigger than a null object. VP-Ellipsis in Spanish\nALEJO ALCARAZ (UPV / EHU)\nDivendres, 31 de maig de 2019\nAula 202, 15:30\nAs originally observed by Campos (1986), Spanish allows for bare plurals (BPs) -as well as mass nouns- to be null in object position, as in (1B).\n(1)\nA. ¿Compraste [café /regalos]1?\nbought.2sgS coffee/gifts\n‘Did you buy coffee/gifts?’\nB. Sí, compré1\nYes, bought.1sgS\n‘Yes, I did.’\nThis author further observes that null objects may appear inside embedded clauses, as in (2a), but they are forbidden to appear in syntactic islands, as illustrated in (2b). This observation leads Campos (1986) to analyze the null object in (1B) in terms of a variable bound by a null operator OP, as in (4). Since the null object is not licensed in wh-questions either, as in (2c), Campos (1986) further claims that OP moves into [Spec, CP] so it incurs a doubly- filled Comp violation in the structure that corresponds to (2c).\n(2)\na. [CP OP1 [Juan me dijo [CP que [VP traería ]]]\nJuan 1sgO told that will.bring\n‘Juan told me that he will bring (some).’\nb. *[CP OP1 [No conozco al [NP muchacho que [VP trajo ]]]\nnot know.1sgS the boy that brought.3sS\n‘I never meet the guy which brought (some).’\n c. *¿[CP OP1 Quién Co [TP le ha [VP traído t1]]?\nWho 3sg.IO has brought\n‘Who has brought him (some)?\nFrom a minimalist standpoint, however, technical implementations like that in Campos (1986) that model covert movement phenomena in terms of null operators turns out to be suspicious, as the null operator has no properties at the interfaces; i.e., it lacks of phonological content, as well as semantic import (cf. 6). In this talk, I provide new empirical evidence against Campos’ (1986) analysis, and put forth an alternative analysis of the null object phenomena under consideration in terms of verb stranding VPE (Goldberg 2005).\n
