1...3-2: An investigation of roll-up movement. I discuss various patterns of cluster formation in syntax and what is usually thought of as morphology.

Abstract:

Traditionally, three movement types have been recognized: A, A-bar, and head movement. Recent developments challenge this picture, however. In this paper I examine cases of roll-up movement, and suggest that some of the properties of this movement type can be understood in terms of cluster formation. I suggest that this partly clears up the relationship between morphology and syntax, and that some remnant movement might be understood in these terms as well.

Peter Svenonius & Christopher Kennedy. Northern Norwegian Degree Questions and the Syntax of Measurement .

Abstract:

Norwegian dialects, including Northern Norwegian (NN), make use of degree questions with no overt degree operator (Null Degree Questions, NDQs). These questions have a gradable adjective in situ and subject-verb inversion, for example Er du gammel?, literally 'Are you old?', has the interpretation ''How old are you?'' In this paper we provide a detailed syntactic and semantic analysis for NDQs in NN which provides new insight into the decompositional semantics of adjectives more generally. We show how our analysis fits in with current research into the syntax and semantics of measure phrases and comparatives.
