Adverbs and functional heads: But Cristofaro pointed out that the similarities can be of very different types, and she suggested that perhaps the best explanations for semantic-map adjacency come from diachronic tendencies as also discussed in this earlier post.

Nanosyntax : A short primer to a new approach to language

What explains these diachronic directionalities is a good question, but UG cannot explain them. This chapter is meant to provide readers with the necessary background to understand and navigate the rest of the chapters in this volume.

First of all, the sample of languages on which their Table 1 reproduced above is based does not even begin to approach representativeness. Now sincethere has been an interesting development within the generative orientation in linguistics where such coexpression patterns are studied from a different perspective: Sentence and Discourse Jacqueline Gueron.

The nanosyntax of case. Change trends were not highlighted in the 19th and 20th centuries, but the diachronic reasons for the similarities in Table 1 have been known for over a century. First, it presents the framework's constitutive tools and principles, and explains how nanosyntax relates to cartography and to Distributed Morphology.

One immediate consequence is that morphemes and words can no longer be the spellout nanosyyntax a single terminal. Your email address will not be published.

Bringing together original contributions by senior and junior researchers in the field, Exploring Nanosyntax offers the first all-encompassing view of this promising framework, making its methodology and exciting results accessible to a wide audience.

Classical, Nanosyntas, and Medieval World History: Positing a functional sequence in the generative tradition especially the tradition of Cinque would seem to imply the claim that the sequence is part of the innate UG. Retrieved from " https: Views Read Edit View history.

Suppletion, superlatives and the structure of words. Each unit may stand as an irreducible element and not be required to form a further "subtree. Martin Haspelmath More Posts. Deploying a radical implementation of the cartographic "one feature - one head" maxim, the framework provides a fine-grained decomposition of morphosyntactic structure, laying bare the building blocks of the universal functional sequence. Since she has held a research position at Ghent University.

Nanosyntax - what is it

Highly frequent forms can be preserved with little change over centuries, so that the similarities were preserved in German and Dutch needs no extra explanation — in particular since some closely related languages did not preserve the similarities: If you think you should have access to this title, please contact your librarian.

In Michael Tomasello ed. The semantic map model: If an apparent pattern is unproductive, there need not be any pattern at all. Nanosyntax is an approach to syntax in which the terminal nodes of syntactic parse trees may be reduced to units smaller than a morpheme. Aspects of Split Ergativity Jessica Coon.

She has worked extensively on the syntax of English and Flemish.
