24 p, 565.5 KB Processing non-culminating accomplishments in European Portuguese / Zhang, Zichen (Universidade do Porto) ; Gomes, Juliana Novo (Universidade do Porto) ; Leal, António (Universidade do Porto)
This paper investigates the processing and interpretation of non-culmination sentences and subjects' agentivity in European Portuguese. A five-point Likert scale is employed to test the native speaker's judgment regarding the acceptability of five types of non-culminating accomplishment sentences put forward in Guéron and Vogeleer (2021), providing evidence that speakers accept non-culminating accomplishments to a certain extent, albeit acceptance differs depending on the circumstance.

38 p, 657.3 KB Refining the Italian clausal spine in light of Central Adverbial Clauses / Ferroni, Sofia (Università degli Studi di Padova (Itàlia)) ; Sanfelici, Emanuela (Università degli Studi di Padova (Itàlia))
While adjuncts like adverbs (AdvPs) and prepositional phrases (PPs) have been shown to be hierarchically merged in a fixed, universal order along the clausal spine (Cinque 1999, 2006), the external syntax of adverbial clauses (Adv-CPs) remains rather underexplored. [...]

In this work, we put forth the observation that some V2 languages are sensitive to the category of the XP moved in first position, only in cases of embedded V2, but not in main clause V2. This shows: a) that embedded V2 can be different from main clause V2 and b) that different types of XPs do not undergo the same restrictions when moving to the left periphery. [...]

This study focuses on contact-induced stress shifts and syllabic prominence in Bulgarian Judeo-Spanish (BJS), a severely endangered Romance diaspora variety that has been in intense interaction with the dominant surrounding language Bulgarian for many centuries. [...]
