Bachrach & Katzir (2009) argue that  multiple dominance obviates islandhood, via a delayed Spellout (DS) mechanism.  We argue that both  SIs and DS islands arise from the same source, and  that DS is the sole mechanism for escaping islands in wh-movement.  Fox & Pesetsky&#8217;s (2009) implementation of DS and Johnson&#8217;s (2010) theory of movement  conspire to predict the effects of the resumptive pronoun strategy in both sharing, and non-sharing, contexts; as well as why SI effects emerge in  leftward, but not  rightward, movement (Postal 1998).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Chris O&#8217;Brien (MIT) Title: How to get off an island Date\/Time: Monday December 15, 12:30-1:45 Location: 32-D461 Note the special date.
