11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Syntax Group
Ivona Kučerová (McMaster University): "No PERSON, no label, no case: Evidence from Slavic numerals."
This work presents new empirical evidence for a formal connection between Case and PERSON, and PERSON and referential index (Schütze 1997, Martin 1999, Chomsky 2000, Béjar and Rezac 2003, Richards 2008, among others). I argue that structural nominative case (NOM) corresponds to a nominal structure labeled by a D head (Chomsky 2013). Consequently, such a structure may become a goal of syntactic φ-feature Agree. The core labeling feature formally corresponds to CI licensing of [+PERSON] feature (see also Sudo 2012, Longobardi 2008, Landau 2010). The empirical motivation comes from a cross-linguistic comparison of numeral constructions in Slavic.
