Lecture 10 Krisztina Szécsényi Syntax Lecture 10 Krisztina Szécsényi

The IP Subject + predicate: a full proposition. Different operations carried out in a sentence: operator field. Constituents preceding the subject (=the canonical subject position, Spec,IP): the sentence is bigger than the IP.

Constituents above the IP Examples: Should Peter visit Mary? Subject-Auxiliary Inversion (SAI) Who should Peter visit? What positions do these constituents occupy? Question interpretation?

Questions vs. statements Complementizers (functional prepositions): that, if, for (sy TO do sg) I know [that you like chocolate]. I wonder [if you like chocolate]. C-head: determines the force of the sentence (indicative vs. interrogative interpretation).

CPs and questions The constituent on top the IP: CP (taking an IP as a complement) Should1 Peter t1 invite Mary? Position of should: a head position → C Should undergoes I-to-C movement Who should Peter invite? Position of who: a phrase position → Spec,CP The wh-word undergoes wh-movement.

Exam practice What is the transformational equivalent of SAI? Subject-Auxiliary Inversion I-to-C movement Movement to Spec,CP Wh-movement

Exam practice Explain why the following structures are ungrammatical (15): *I think if Mary likes chocolate. *Peter what likes? Draw a tree for the following sentence: (10) What can we do?
