The amount includes articles that target the interface among linguistic and conceptual wisdom. the problems addressed within the quantity comprise the preconditions of each point of the language process which are required for the transformation of linguistic details into conceptual representations. based on Chomsky's Minimalist language version, the language process is embedded into the performative structures the place language is part of the cognitive competence of humans, i.e. process of articulation and belief (A/P) and the conceptual-intentional procedure (C/I). in the course of the formation of linguistic constructions, each performative procedure obtains well-formed representations as its enter info. The articles of the amount convey how interface stipulations ascertain the linguistic representations on every one point of the linguistic method. Interface stipulations bring about requisites for the ordering of linguistic components. The syntactic transformation achieves some extent, the place the linguistic constitution formation branches to 2 distinctive representational degrees. either degrees carry directions for the structures of functionality A/P and C/I. Linearization happens at the syntactic floor of a sentence. The linearization of linguistic components is happen on the derivational aspect of Spell-out and in addition at the point of the phonological shape (PF). which means at the one hand, linearization is proper to the phonetic element of linguistic expressions, and however, the translation of linguistic utterances relies on hierarchical constructions. at the point of Logical shape (LF) all operations follow which haven't any impression at the linear order in overt syntax. additionally they impact the new release of hierarchical constructions. The constitution bought on LF is the representational structure of the semantic type of a sentence.

Example text
A. . hatte das Kind dieses Brot gegessen b. *... das Kind hatte dieses Brot gegessen . . , all V2 structures receive the same analysis: The finite verb is in C°. This entails that das Kind in 30a is in IP-spec but in CP-spec in 30b: THE VERB ALWAYS LEAVES IP IN V2 CLAUSES 23 In 3la the extraction does not violate any constraints; the empty embedded CPspec contains an intermediate trace of the extracted adjunct. 16 This analysis of 30b would, on first view, seem not to be open to Travis' version of the asymmetry approach, as there it is claimed that the subject of subject-initial V2 structures is in IP-spec.
The data argue only against the subject being in VP-spec in such clauses and argue only indirectly in favor of the initial element being in IP-spec, as this presupposes that there is only one functional head between C° and V°, namely 1°. We will start out with Icelandic since the data are clearer here. In Icelandic embedded non-subject-initial V2 clauses, the subject always precedes the sentential adverbial: (61) Ic. a. Hann veit aS k-innski las Jon aldrei bokina b. *Hann veit a5 kannski las aldrei Jon bokina He knows that maybe read (Jon) never (Jon) book-the c.
B. Yi. az 'that', (like Ic. ad 'that') obligatorily selects CP (viz. [CP [c; az/a5 [CP . . ] ] ] ). We start with object extractions (the base position is thus to the right of the embedded verb leyenen 'read'). As above, the V2 clause is bracketed and the element in the specifier-position of the V2 clause is underlined (the underlined element is thus in IP-spec in Diesing's analysis and in CP-spec in ours) (Diesing 1990:71-72, ex. 49): (54) Yi. a. Vos hot er nit gevolt az [mir zoln leyenen -] ?
