However, the presence of coordination is not a reliable diagnostic of MD for two reasons. First, there exist coordinate structures that do not involve MD (simple coordinate structures with no ellipsis or movement whatsoever), and second, there are many non-coordinate structures that can be (and have been) analyzed in a MD fashion. These include (but are not limited to): free relatives (Van Riemsdijk 2006, Citko 2000, in press), parasitic gaps (Kasai 2007), serial verb constructions (Hiraiwa and Bodomo 2008), amalgams (Kluck 2008), comparatives (Moltmann 1992), discontinuous idioms (Svenonius 2005). Thus, given the fact that multidominance is independent from both coordination and ellipsis, the search for reliable diagnostics of a MD structure continues.<\/p>\n<p>The intuition that all MD approaches build on is that the shared element has to simultaneously<br clear='none'\/>\nsatisfy the constraints imposed by it by the two elements between which it is shared. In other words, it<br clear='none'\/>\nmust match these two elements. In this talk, I explore the nature of this matching requirement with an<br clear='none'\/>\neye towards developing a set of diagnostics for a MD structure. More specifically, I address the following<br clear='none'\/>\nthree questions:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>A.<\/td>\n<td>What kind of matching do MD structures require?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>B.<\/td>\n<td>What kinds of mismatches do MD structures tolerate?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C.<\/td>\n<td> Why are different types of MD structures appear to be subject to different matching requirements?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Drawing on data from Polish, I compare the matching requirements in four types of arguably<br clear='none'\/>\nmultidominant constructions: two coordinate ones (right node raising and across-the-board wh-questions) and two non-coordinate ones (parasitic gaps and free relatives), focusing on the differences<br clear='none'\/>\nbetween them and ways to account for these differences.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Barbara Citko (Visiting Scholar, University of Washington) Title: In Search of MDDs (Multidominance Diagnostics) Location: 32-D461 Time: Thursday, Oct 13, 12:30-1:45p Many existing multidominant (MD) proposals have focused, either directly or indirectly, on various types of coordinate structures, such as right node raising (Wilder 1999, De Vries 2009, Johnson 2007, among others), across-the-board wh-questions [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-talks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3092"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3117,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3092\/revisions\/3117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
