New Horizons in the Analysis of Control and Raising -- Looking Out Over the Horizon -- New Views of Raising -- Raising in DP Revisited -- The Late Development of Raising: What Children Seem to Think about Seem -- Raising of Major Arguments in Korean (and Japanese) -- Raising or Control in Greek -- Not Really ECM, not Exactly Control: The ‘Quasi-ECM’ Construction in Greek -- Control in Modern Greek: It's Another Good Move -- Finiteness and Control in Greek -- Control in Romance -- Moving Forward with Romanian Backward Control and Raising -- Agreement and Flotation in Partial and Inverse Partial Control Configurations -- Null Subjects in Brazilian Portuguese and Finnish: They are not Derived by Movement -- Extensions and Alternatives to the MTC -- On (Non-)Obligatory Control -- Control and Wh-infinitivals -- Control via Selection -- Movement-Resistant Aspects of Control.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Raising and control have figured in every comprehensive model of syntax for forty years. Recent renewed attention to them makes this collection a timely one. The contributions, representing some of the most exciting recent work, address many fundamental research questions. What beside the canonical constructions might be subject to raising or control analyses? What constructions traditionally treated as raising or control might not actually be so? What classes of control must be recognized? How do tense, agreement, or clausal completeness figure in their distribution? The chapters address these and other relevant issues, and bring new empirical data into focus.
