In this talk I address three such phenomena&#8212;-phi-agreement, A&#8217; movement, and clitic-doubling&#8212;-with the eye to two related questions: What is the representation of (marked) case on a nominal? And how are syntactic operations sensitive to this representation? In place of the relatively standard view of case as a feature on a DP, I argue that a full understanding of case sensitivity in syntactic operations calls for a view of (marked) case as a structure around DP, i.e. a KP. Treating case assignment as structure addition, and case sensitivity as structure sensitivity, I show how we can capture proposed hierarchies of case sensitivity in phi-agreement (Bobaljik 2008) and A&#8217; movement (Otsuka 2006), as well as a novel case-hierarchy effect in the realm of clitic-doubling.<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Amy Rose Deal (UC Berkeley) Title: Case sensitivity reflects case structure: agreement, extraction, and clitics Time: Friday, March 7th, 3.30-5pm Location: 32-141 Abstract: A variety of syntactic phenomena seem to be conditioned by morphological case (an effect known variously as &#8216;case discrimination&#8217;, &#8216;case targeting&#8217;, &#8216;case opacity&#8217;, or simply &#8216;case sensitivity&#8217;).
