Positive polarity items: an illusion of ungrammaticality
ABSTRACT Negative Polarity Item (NPIs) produce an illusion of grammaticality in some
contexts with negation. Many approaches to modelling the NPI illusion propose that it is …

Verb-second in grammar, processing, and acquisition: What you see is not what you get
C Freitag - 2019 - kops.uni-konstanz.de
The verb second (V2) phenomenon received a lot of attention in last decades. By now, it is
widely accepted among syntacticians that the finite verb originates from a base position and …
