초록
Within the newly conceived framework of MERGE (Chomsky, Gallego, and Ott 2019), this study deduces the Adjunct Condition, which dictates that sub-extraction from adjuncts is strictly banned. However, the Adjunct Condition is empirically challenged by exceptional cases where extraction from non-finite adjuncts becomes legitimate. Given this background, the current paper proposes that adjuncts in general are immediately sent to Transfer to resolve a labeling conflict (i.e., problem of projection (POP)) that arises upon their insertion to the syntactic derivation; accordingly, the adjuncts at hand become inaccessible for further syntactic operations, effectively deriving the Adjunct Condition. However, there are exceptional cases where the island-hood of adjuncts is voided. We propose that such adjuncts are properly labeled in the mode of syntactic restructuring (cf. Choe 1988; Wurmbrand 2001) forming larger complex verb phrases with sister main verb phrases, which eventually meets the Single Event Condition (Truswell 2011) (cf. Kim and Park 2022a). Sub-extraction out of now one single event straightforwardly follows. All in all, this study explicates the peculiar property of extraction out of adjuncts by resorting to Transfer, Labeling, and Restructuring.
Abstract
Within the newly conceived framework of MERGE (Chomsky, Gallego, and Ott 2019), this study deduces the Adjunct Condition, which dictates that sub-extraction from adjuncts is strictly banned. However, the Adjunct Condition is empirically challenged by exceptional cases where extraction from non-finite adjuncts becomes legitimate. Given this background, the current paper proposes that adjuncts in general are immediately sent to Transfer to resolve a labeling conflict (i.e., problem of projection (POP)) that arises upon their insertion to the syntactic derivation; accordingly, the adjuncts at hand become inaccessible for further syntactic operations, effectively deriving the Adjunct Condition. However, there are exceptional cases where the island-hood of adjuncts is voided. We propose that such adjuncts are properly labeled in the mode of syntactic restructuring (cf. Choe 1988; Wurmbrand 2001) forming larger complex verb phrases with sister main verb phrases, which eventually meets the Single Event Condition (Truswell 2011) (cf. Kim and Park 2022a). Sub-extraction out of now one single event straightforwardly follows. All in all, this study explicates the peculiar property of extraction out of adjuncts by resorting to Transfer, Labeling, and Restructuring.
