2024 Locative-based expletives as situation proforms: Dutch er , German da and English there The Evolution of Expletives: Theoretical and diachronic perspectives, Fuß, Eric and Benjamin Lowell Sluckin (eds.), pp. 93–120 | Article
This paper addresses the question to what extent locative/situational proforms such as German da, Dutch er/daar and English there are to be considered expletives. It considers the main contexts of use for all three languages, their appearance as modifiers, in existential constructions and in… read more

2019 Restrictions on “Low” person agreement in Dutch specificational copular constructions Linguistics in the Netherlands 2019, Berns, Janine and Elena Tribushinina (eds.), pp. 130–146 | Article
Agreement between the verb and its arguments as a predominant phenomenon in language has received major attention in the theoretical literature. One specific aspect under discussion concerns differences between number and person agreement, with the latter being the more restricted one (restricted… read more
2018 A focus analysis of apparent predicational clefts Non-prototypical clefts, Karssenberg, Lena, Karen Lahousse, Béatrice Lamiroy, Stefania Marzo and Ana Drobnjakovic (eds.), pp. 121–143 | Article
This paper discusses a specific subclass of English it-clefts posited in the theoretical literature, so-called predicational clefts. The main point of the paper is to show that there is no need to postulate such a separate class. Predicational clefts look special because of the narrow focus on… read more
2017 Variation in copular agreement in Insular Scandinavian Syntactic Variation in Insular Scandinavian, Thráinsson, Höskuldur, Caroline Heycock, Hjalmar P. Petersen and Zakaris Svabo Hansen (eds.), pp. 233–276 | Chapter
This paper explores the syntax of agreement in Insular Scandinavian in copular clauses with two potential goals for agreement. Data from three production experiments – one in Faroese and two in Icelandic – establish several new facts. First, in both languages agreement with the second nominal (DP2)… read more
2013 Pseudoclefts in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 13: Papers from the 2011 Lund conference, Brandtler, Johan, Valéria Molnár and Christer Platzack (eds.), pp. 67–96 | Article
Based on novel data from Hungarian, this paper makes the case that in at least some languages specificational pseudocleft sentences must receive a ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get’ syntactic analysis. More specifically, it is argued that the clefted constituent is the subject of predication… read more
2009 Experiencers with (un)willingness: A raising analysis of German ‘Wollen’ Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 327–356 | Article
The paper contributes to the raising vs. control debate with respect to modals through (A) novel data; (B) the investigation of a domain in which it has proven particularly problematic: volitional modality. We analyze oblique arguments of experiencer verbs embedded under German wollen ‘want’ and… read more
