They show that, within Distributed Morphology (Halle &amp; Marantz 1993), this needs to be derived by Impoverishment (Bonet 1991, Noyer 1992, Halle &amp; Marantz 1994), which as a context-sensitive operation deletes feature F in the context of F. Nevins (2011) discusses Ljubljana Slovenian, and posits Impoverishment of the DUAL-number contrasts in the context of feminine gender. However, Nevins\u0092 argument is only based on the relevant morphological paradigms in isolation and only their nominative Case forms. This papers provides more empirical context, viz. entire morphological paradigms from Ljubljana Slovenian, and also the interaction of the relevant syncretism with agreement patterns. While the agreement patterns confirm the post-syntactic nature of Impoverishment, the full morphological paradigms show that Impoverishment is systematically blocked in certain Case forms: while Impoverishment applies in the context of <em>flexional<\/em> morphology, it fails to do so in the context of <em>agglutinative<\/em> morphology. This pattern of blocking can be captured as an intervention effect if Impoverishment is limited to considering a strictly local X\u00ba as context, viz. the closest X\u00ba available in the c-command domain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Stanislao Zompi&#8217; (MIT) Title: Bo\u009ei?
