Syntax and Morphology. Working Papers in Linguistics 18.
University of Trondheim Working Papers in Linguistics, n18 1993
Four papers on syntax and morphology are presented. "Clitics in Slavic" (Mila Dimitrova-Vulchanova) discusses the syntactic relevance of clitic placement across Slavic languages, and the functional categories that are or might be instrumental in determining placement of clitics and clitic clusters. In "A Promotion Analysis of Restrictive Relative Clauses" (Tor A. Afarli), it is argued that in syntactic analysis of Norwegian, a variant of the non-standard promotion (head-raising) analysis is appropriate for the most common type of restrictive relative clauses, those that have the complementizer "som" as relative clause particle. In "The Case for a 'Progressive' Derivational Affix in Kiswahili Predicate Items" (Assibi Apatewon Amidu) the structure of derivational affixes in Swahili is revised, focusing on some of the rules used to describe the "applicative" and "reversive" derivational affixes. An additional affix category is proposed. "Asymmetry in Symmetrical Object Languages: A Problem for LFG?" (Camillia N. Keach, Michael S. Rochemont) examines the asymmetric behavior induced by possessor raising in symmetrical object languages in the context of existing theory. Each paper contains references. (MSE)
