Certain A-bar extractions permit stranding of antipronominal Ps, while others do not. <\/p>\n<p>I extend the theory of wholesale late merger (Takahashi 2006, Takahashi & Hulsey 2009) and propose that while a subset of A-bar extractions obligatorily leave full copies in the base position, others don\u0092t. I show that this proposal derives the observed restrictions on P-stranding, and present some additional evidence in support of the analysis.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Juliet Stanton Title: Constraints on English preposition stranding Date\/Time: Thursday, Dec 5, 12:30-1:45p Location: 32-D461 In this talk, I discuss an asymmetry in English preposition stranding, illustrated by the following contrasts: (1) Which bench were you sitting on?
