Syntactic derivation and the theory of matching contextual features.
Leung, Tsz-Cheung.

Syntactic derivation and the theory of matching contextual features. - 333 p.

Advisers: Jean-Roger Vergnaud; Roumyana Pancheva.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Southern California, 2007.

This dissertation examines the notion of syntactic derivation and proposes a new and more principled account. It adequately extends the notion of transformational relation to constructions standardly taken to be outside the scope of that relation.

520 $a This dissertation examines the notion of syntactic derivation and proposes a new and more principled account. It adequately extends the notion of transformational relation to constructions standardly taken to be outside the scope of that relation.
520 $a One example is the comparison between free relatives and correlatives. We claim that the semantics shared by the two superficially distinct constructions reflects the common syntactic structure, formalized by chains as the occurrence(s) of a lexical item (Chomsky 1981:45, 1982, 1995:250-252, 2000:114-116, 2001:39-40, 2004:15). Two items standing in an occurrence relation form a constituent, which subsumes the head-complement and Spec-head relation (Chomsky 1995:172; Koizumi 1999:15). The occurrence(s) explicitly represent(s) the contexts that the item bears during the derivation. In free relatives (e.g. Ann ate what Mary cooked ), the wh-word has the occurrences (*ate main, Compembedded, cookedembedded), with ate coming from the matrix predicate, and Complementizer and cooked from the embedded clause. In correlatives (e.g. What Mary cooked, Ann ate that as in Hindi), the wh-word has the occurrences (*Comprelative, cookedrelative, thatmain), and that has an occurrence (*atemain). That is an occurrence of the wh-word given the coindexation, analyzable by the doubling constituent [DEM-XP what that] (extending Kayne 2002). The phonological realization of an item corresponds to its strong occurrence (*) (Boeckx 2003:13).
520 $a A derivation is then an algorithm of matching lexical items with their occurrence(s)/context(s). Each item bears a conceptual and a contextual role, the latter driving a derivation (Vergnaud 2003; Prinzhorn, Vergnaud and Zubizarreta 2004:11). Each item contains a set of contextual features that are matched by another item. Two items match their contextual features and derive at least one interpretable relation at the interface level. No matching of contextual features is interpretably empty.
520 $a We also claim that narrow syntax is the recursive application of a binary operation of concatenation (+) defined over syntactic objects. The system is free of some problems faced by Merge (Chomsky 1995:226), and the recursive application of concatenation of lexical items entails all major properties of constituent structures, for instance the derivation of labels, heads and complements (also Collins 2002).
