- One of the hallmark properties of human language is displacement, or situations in which a word or phrase is interpreted in one position but surfaces in another, (1). Although displacement is permitted from many constructions (2), there are also conditions on displacement, i.e., (3) is unacceptable. (1) Who did you see ___ at the police station? (2) Who did you see Dale with __ at the police station? (3) *Who did you see Dale and __ at the police station? In this class, we will examine modern approaches to constraints on movement. Topics will include the nature of island effects, phase theory, resumption, and overt/covert asymmetries. We will also examine semantic/pragmatic approaches, and considerations from psycholinguistics and language acquisition.
