Forthcoming in NLLT: Erlewine & Lim “Bikol clefts and topics and the Austronesian extraction restriction” https://t.co/2jTjZPw22V now typeset — wherein, we argue forcefully for the view that the extraction restriction in a Philippine language must target the closest/highest DP

Now that I’m moving SO soon, I should probably announce - I’ve accepted a postdoc fellowship at the National University of Singapore and will be moving to Singapore at the end of this month! Really so grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to start!

New paper with Anne Nguyen: We investigate the uses of the Vietnamese excessive morpheme quá (cf English 'too'), which we argue can express the meaning of "excess" in two distinct ways that can be teased apart https://t.co/QTdZqDzFlA Comments welcome!

Reading about polar question formation in Hebrew and decided to listen to HAIM

The paper argues for the view that some Ā-movement processes involve probes that are specifically restricted to targeting the closest DP, with case studies from Turkish, Rejang (Austronesian), and more.

[mitcho @themitcho]

Kenyon Branan and I are delighted that our paper, "Ā-probing for the closest DP," has been accepted for publication with Linguistic Inquiry!
