Title: Contiguity Theory and Pied-Piping
Date: Monday, Sept. 19th
Time: 1:00pm-2:00pm
Place: 32-D461
Abstract:
In this talk I will demonstrate how Contiguity Theory can be used to derive Seth Cable’s generalizations about the conditions on pied-piping. We will see that the pied-piping facts for a given language track the availability of wh-in-situ, in an interesting and theoretically useful way.
