29 p, 548.3 KB Types of zero complements in French and Spanish prepositional phrases : new evidence from acceptability judgment experiments / Heidinger, Steffen (University of Graz)
Some French prepositions can appear without an overt complement. The discussion about the status of such zero complements (starting with Zribi-Hertz's (1984a, 1984b) seminal work) is still ongoing. More recently, Authier (2016) argued that French prepositions are heterogeneous in this respect: The zero complement of only some prepositions is a null pronoun (e. [...]

This paper investigates the properties of GO and TAKE used as functional verbs to express the beginning of an action or a state (inchoativity) or a sense of surprise, wonder, astonishment, or regret (mirativity) as found in a group of multiple verb constructions, in a macro-comparative perspective.

For the first time, systematic research of auxiliary selection in Italian is proposed using corpus analysis and natural language processing (NLP). By combining these methods, we seek to find the most significant factors that influence the choice of auxiliary in intransitive verbs with double auxiliation. [...]

Previous literature on the typology of gerund clauses in Portuguese has overlooked a peculiar type of clauses which are always introduced by como ('as') and display an array of characteristics that set them apart from all other gerund clauses (and from other, somehow similar, constructions in different languages).

33 p, 277.5 KB Superlatives, partitives and apparent φ-feature mismatch in Spanish / Toquero Pérez, Luis Miguel (University of Southern California)
Adjectival superlatives in Spanish are expressed by a definite determiner and the com-parative morpheme m ́as 'more/-er' modifying the adjective. While gender and numberconcord between the determiner, adjective and noun is generally obligatory, there is asubset of cases where it seems to be disrupted: the determiner surfaces as the so-calledneuter lo, the adjective spells out masculine and there is no overt noun.

In this paper, we account for different patterns found in complement clauses of se constructions in Romanian and Spanish. In Romanian, a se construction cannot host an infinitival complement, an apparently controlled clause, whereas in Spanish a se construction can. [...]

27 p, 542.6 KB Explaining the Subjunctive in factive contexts / Marques, Rui (Universidade de Lisboa)
The occurrence of the Subjunctive mood in sentences describing facts is commonly seen as problematic, given the relation between Subjunctive and non-veridicality. One line that is explored in the literature to account for the Subjunctive in complement clauses of factive verbs is to link the occurrence of this mood in such contexts to gradability of the main clause's predicate.

17 p, 410.8 KB The Aspectual Properties of Italian Venire Passives / Gallardo, Martine (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Italian essere (be) and venire (come) periphrastic passives differ in their aspectual properties, both lexical and grammatical. Squartini's (1999) analysis of venire passives accounts for their incompatibility with perfect aspect. [...]

10 p, 201.4 KB Substitution Patterns of the English Voiced Interdental Fricative by L1 Costa Rican Spanish Speakers / Fonseca Quesada, Felix (Stony Brook University)
L1 Spanish speakers learning English struggle to produce the English voiced interdental fricative [ð]. This is surprising as [ð] occurs naturally in Spanish as an intervocalic allophone of /d/. To investigate Spanish speakers' production of [ð] in English, I conducted a study with ten L1 Costa Rican Spanish/L2 English speakers. [...]
