Title:
Focus and Extraction in Complex Constructions and Islands
Duration:
01/07/2009 to 30/06/2021
Abstract / short description:
The project investigates the role of focus and givenness in extraction out of island configurations (ICs) and other complex constructions (CCs), which are frequently judged to be marked or ungrammatical (Freezing Effect). In phase II, the project investigated extraction from focus constructions and identified factors that play a role in resistance to extraction, as well as information-structurally (InfS) controlled contexts that improve these constructions. Based on these results, the project will extend its empirical coverage to ICs and CCs. We will investigate the InfS conditions on extraction and the degree of context adaptivity determined by the specific weight of construction-specific and InfS complexity factors.
