Catalan journal of linguistics

The main purpose of the Catalan Journal of Linguistics (CatJL) is to publish quality research papers developing theories on the structure of particular languages within the perspective of a general theory of the human language. Grown out of its predecessor Catalan Working Papers in Linguistics (CatWPL), this journal is made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Grup de Gramàtica Teòrica of the UAB with the Institut Interuniversitari de Filologia Valenciana.

On null spatial Ps and their arguments / Terzi, Arhonto ; Technological Educational Institute of Patras
This paper investigates the phenomenon of null spatial Ps, focusing primarily on Greek where these are most widely attested. It is demonstrated that only locatives (of the type that do not denote containment), as well as directional goal Ps, are able to surface without phonetic content when their nominal arguments are determinerless.

Microvariation in Catalan and Occitan complementizers : the so-called expletive se* / Rigau, Gemma ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Centre de Lingüística Teòrica ; Suïls, Jordi ; Universitat de Lleida. Departament de Filologia Catalana i Comunicació
The present paper offers further independent evidence for the functional projection INT(errogative) in the left periphery of the sentence (Rizzi 2001) that is needed for an adequate analysis of interrogative clauses in Catalan and Occitan Pyrenees dialects. [...]

A microparametric approach on goal of motion constructions : properties of adpositional systems in Romance and Germanic / Real Puigdollers, Cristina ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Centre de Lingüística Teòrica
This paper explores the idea that the properties of adpositional systems can suffice to explain the Talmian distinction between satellite and verb framed languages. Following the insight that morphological simple prepositions in Romance languages are only locative, I propose that the functional domain of the directional/path preposition is defective and, hence, has to be licensed via incorporation to the (motion) verb.

Why Are There No Locative Conjunctions in Spanish? / Pavón Lucero, María Victoria ; Universidad Carlos III. Departamento de Humanidades : Filosofía, Lenguaje y Literatura
The main purpose of this paper is to explore why there are no locative subordinating conjunctions in Spanish. As we will see, the absence of this type of conjunctions is due, on the one hand, to its lexical-grammatical properties and, on the other hand, to the semantic structure of locative expressions. [...]

On the prepositional nature of non-finite verbs / Gallego, Ángel J. ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Centre de Lingüística Teòrica
This paper investigates the prepositional nature of non-finite verbal forms. Assuming well-known observations that relate the categories P and V on the one hand (see Chomsky 1970, 1981, Demirdache & Uribe-Etxebarria 2000, Hale & Keyser 2002, and Svenonius 2003, 2007, 2008, among others), and P and C on the other (see den Besten 1983, Emonds 1985, Kayne 2000, and van Riemsdijk 1978) I argue that some non-finite verbs —in particular, past participles and gerunds— incorporate a preposition as a result of the interaction between the categories C and T, which can manifest itself as a species of P in non-finte contexts (see Demirdache & Uribe- Etxebarria 2000, and Pesetsky & Torrego 2004).

On Spanish Prepositional Prefixes and the Cartography of Prepositions / Fábregasm, Antonio
Despite its potential appeal, the possibility of analyzing prefixes as prepositions (and thus as syntactic objects) faces several problems related with selection, headedness and semantic isomorphism. [...]

Directions from the GET-GO. On the syntax of manner-of-motion verbs in directional constructions / Dikken, Marcel den
Directional resultatives show puzzling syntactic restrictions. In Romance, broadly speaking, they do not occur at all with manner-of-motion verbs. In Dutch, directional resultatives with mannerof- motion verbs usually force postpositional order in the directional PP — but prepositional order is grammatical under cir cumstances that have so far defied a unified and insightful account.

On disjunctive dependencies / Bosque, Ignacio ; Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Facultad de Filología. Departamento de Lengua Española
This paper argues that some Spanish syntactic structures contain lexically selected null wh- disjunctive operators, and that a number of apparent subordinate declarative clauses turn out to be hidden indirect questions. [...]
