Oral Presentation for "ECM constructions as complex predicates: a neo-constructivist approach"

<div>This talk was presented on 2021 April 8 - 11 at the <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/">39th meeting of the West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Provided abstract:</div><div>This presentation is an attempt to revive Chomsky’s LSLT (1955/1975) complex predicate approach to ECM under the neo-constructivist model of syntax (cf. Borer 2005). In particular, I argue that the ECM verb and the infinitive form a complex predicate in the LF component as a side-effect of the independently motivated head movement, and show that the proposed analysis can provide evidence against postulating an overt (either EPP- or Case-driven) Object Shift in ECM configurations.<br></div><div><div><br></div><div><hr></div><div><br></div><div><i>For inquiries regarding the contents of this dataset, please contact the Corresponding Author listed in the README.txt file.
