Heidi Harley<\/a><\/b> (University of Arizona, MIT PhD ‘95) will be visiting the department this week. In addition to her Colloquium talk on Friday, she will be offering a mini-course on head movement. Details below:<\/p>\n

Speaker:<\/strong> Heidi Harley (University of Arizona)
\n
Title:<\/strong> Report from the bleeding edge of the head movement debate
\n
Time:<\/strong> Wednesday, December 7th and Thursday, December 8th, 2016, 5:00-6:30 pm
\n
Place: <\/strong>32-124 (Wed), 32-144 (Thurs)
\n
Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will review and discuss various models of head-movement and the evidence that has been brought to bear on them, including but not limited to conflation (Hale&Keyser 2002, Harley 2004), remnant movement (Zeller 2013), (phrasal mvt +) m-merger (Matushansky 2004, Harizanov 2014, Harley and Folli ms), and traditional head-adjunction (Keine and Bhatt 2016), or some combination of different mechanisms (Harley 2013, Gribanova and Harizanov 2016handout). In doing so, I’ll talk about the idea that head-movement does or does not have syntacticosemantic (LF) effects, and if it does, what they are and why, borrowing heavily on a presentation by McCloskey including some discussion of LaCara (2016), Hartman (2011), Gribanova (ms), Lechner (2007), as well as Keine and Bhatt (2016)).<\/p>\n

A reading packet is attached for people to browse at will if they want but I’m not going to assume attendees will have read any of it. The ones I most highly recommend for the interested are the Keine and Bhatt 2016 on German verb clusters and the Zeller 2013 on Zulu relatives; Harizanov 2014 on Bulgarian clitics and Gribanova (2016ms) on Russian ellipsis & polarity-licensing are interesting too. Not to be discussed but included because it’s mind-blowingly weird are the results of Lipt\u00e1k 2013, 2016handout, on the (failure of) the verbal identity condition on VPE in Hungarian).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
