Further, I establish a relationship between information structure and agreement relationship and propose that dative case is a dependent (structural) case in Surati Gujarati. To account for both case alternation and the information structure-agreement relationship in Surati Gujarati I propose an object shift analysis. To conclude, I raise a larger theoretical question on the status of A vs A-bar movement as I propose a focus-driven object movement analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Kinjal Hiren Joshi (University of Oslo \/ MIT)Title: Optional Agreement and Information Structure in Surati GujaratiTime: Thursday, March 12th, 12:30pm - 2pmLocation: 32-D461Abstract: In this talk, I present novel empirical evidence demonstrating optionality in agreement in the causative constructions of Surati Gujarati (A language that belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family).
