ED - Schmidt, Andreas ED - Wierzba, Marta T1 - Of Trees and Birds BT - A Festschrift for Gisbert Fanselow N2 - Gisbert Fanselow’s work has been invaluable and inspiring to many ­researchers working on syntax, morphology, and information ­structure, both from a ­theoretical and from an experimental perspective. This ­volume comprises a collection of articles dedicated to Gisbert on the occasion of his 60th birthday, covering a range of topics from these areas and beyond. The contributions have in ­common that in a broad sense they have to do with language structures (and thus trees), and that in a more specific sense they have to do with birds. They thus cover two of Gisbert’s major interests in- and outside of the linguistic world (and ­perhaps even at the interface).

Specifically, there are three crucial points: (i) the marker -e is related to the CP-domain, where clause typing is encoded; (ii) -e is obligatory in embedded clauses and optional in main clauses; (iii) -e is licensed in finite clauses only. I argue that certain clause-typing properties are reflected in the Hungarian clause in a lower functional domain, FP. In particular, finiteness and the interrogative nature of the clause are encoded here, as also indicated by focussing in non-interrogative clauses and by constituent questions, respectively. The marker -e is base-generated in the F head, as opposed to a designated FocP or TP/IP, allowing it to fulfil its clause-typing functions. Base-generation is crucial (as opposed to lowering from C) since it is able to capture the relatedness between -e and finiteness: -e is specified as [fin] and while the FP may be generated to host focussed constituents (including wh-elements) in non-finite clauses, a lexically [fin] head cannot be inserted.

The questionnaire is mostly concerned with clause typing in embedded clauses, but main clause counterparts are also considered for comparative purposes. The chief aim was to achieve comparable results across Germanic languages, though the standardised questionnaire may also be helpful in the study of other languages, too. Most questions examine the availability of various complementisers and clause-typing operators, and in some cases the movement of verbs to the left periphery is also taken into account. The questionnaire is split into seven major parts according to the types of clauses under scrutiny. All instructions were given in English and the individual questions either concern translations of given sentences from English into the target language, and/or they ask for specific details about the constructions in the target language. The present document contains the questionnaire itself (together with the instructions given at the beginning of the questionnaire and at the beginning of the individual sections, as well as the questions asking for personal data), the sociolinguistic data of the speakers, and the actual results for the individual languages. Five Germanic languages are included: Dutch, Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish. For each language, two informants were recruited. Given the small number of informants, the present study serves as a qualitative investigation and as a basis for further, quantitative and experimental studies. N2 - Der Fragebogen untersucht die funktionale linke Peripherie von sämtlichen finiten Sätzen in germanischen Sprachen, wobei Elemente und deren Kombinationen, die den Satztyp bestimmen, im Vordergrund stehen. Der Fokus liegt insbesondere auf der Satztypmarkierung in eingebetteten Sätzen, jedoch werden auch Matrixsätze zum Vergleich herangezogen. Das Hauptziel war es, vergleichbare Ergebnisse zwischen germanischen Sprachen zu erhalten, jedoch kann der standardisierte Fragebogen auch bei der Untersuchung anderer Sprachen hilfreich sein. Die meisten Fragen beziehen sich auf die Einsetzbarkeit verschiedener Komplementierer und den Satztyp bestimmender Operatoren, und in einigen Fällen wird auch die Verbbewegung zur linken Peripherie berücksichtigt. Der Fragebogen untergliedert sich in sieben größere Abschnitte, je nach untersuchtem Satztyp. Alle Anweisungen wurden auf Englisch formuliert und die einzelnen Fragen beziehen sich auf Übersetzungen von auf Englisch gegebenen Sätzen in die Zielsprache, und/oder erkundigen sich über Einzelheiten der Konstruktionen in der Zielsprache. Das vorliegende Dokument beinhaltet den Fragebogen (samt den Anweisungen am Anfang des Fragebogens und am Anfang der einzelnen Abschnitte, wie auch den Fragen bezüglich persönlichen Daten), die soziolinguistischen Daten der Informanten, und die Ergebnisse für die einzelnen Sprachen. Fünf germanische Sprachen sind enthalten: Niederländisch, Dänisch, Isländisch, Norwegisch und Schwedisch. Es gaben je zwei Informanten pro Sprache. Da die Anzahl der Informanten niedrig ist, dient die vorliegende Studie als qualitative Untersuchung und als Basis für weitere, quantitative und experimentelle Studien.

In Old Hungarian, hogy could be combined with other complementisers, e.g. mint ‘than/as’, giving configurations like hogymint and minthogy, that is, complementiser combinations in general are attested both in the hogy+X and the reverse X+hogy orders, X standing for an unspecified complementiser. The rich variation of Old Hungarian complex complementisers is not fully reflected in Modern Hungarian: it is invariably only one of the orders that survived. I will show that it is always the one that fully grammaticalised into a single C head; this is ultimately tied to the original underlying order of hogy and X as separate C heads. I will also demonstrate that hogy came to be used as a general marker of finite subordination.

I argue that the relevant property follows from degree semantics, in that the comparative subclause encodes the inequality of the degree expressed by a matrix clausal element and the one expressed by the comparative operator. Just like ordinary negation, this has to be encoded overtly; however, as it does not constitute an instance of genuine clausal negation, the property cannot be encoded by an operator, and hence must be realised on a functional head, which is either the complementiser or a separate polarity head.
