Einladung zu einem Vortrag von Roland Hinterhölzl (Università Ca’Foscari Venezia): Evidence from German, Russian And Icelandic Against Movement Theory of Control (MTC) [03.07.2019 18:00 Uhr, GB 4/131]

Alle Interessierten sind herzlich zum Vortrag von Roland Hinterhölzl (Università Ca’Foscari Venezia) zum Thema „Evidence from German, Russian And Icelandic Against Movement Theory of Control (MTC)“ eingeladen, der am Mittwoch, 3. Juli 2019, um 18:00 Uhr in Raum GB 4/131 stattfindet.

Abstract:
„In this talk I present evidence from predicate agreement and binding data in German, Russian and Icelandic that speak against the movement account of control initially proposed by Hornstein (1999, 2002). Alternatively, I will argue that PRO is a radically underspecified pronoun that lacks lexical presuppositional features and that Control is an Agree relation that supplies it with semantic features alone accounting for its silent nature.“
