A Movement Approach for Multi-Head Correlatives

Authors

  • Konstantin Sachs

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to provide a semantic analysis of multi-head correlatives in Hindi/Urdu that takes their peculiar behavior regarding NPI licensing and islands into account. This is done by assuming movement, which has the benefit of being a recursive process that can be used for an arbitrary amount of heads without resorting to type shifting or additional rules of composition.
