marco@work - Pronominal doubling and the structure of the left periphery in southern Dutch

Pronominal doubling and the structure of the left periphery in southern Dutch door Jeroen Van Craenenbroeck & Marjo van Koppen maakt deel uit van de online publicatie Syntactic Microvariation.

Naar aanleiding hervan heb ik tevens de volgende pagina gelezen over de Split-CP Hypothese. Hierin wordt gesteld dat CP onder te verdelen is in TopP en FocP, net zoals bijvoorbeeld IP onder te verdelen is in AgrP, TP en VP.

Van Craenenbroeck & van Koppen houden het in bovenstaand artikel op een CP-splitsing in CP, FinP en FP.

Conclusie:
"In this paper we have shown that pronominal doubling in southern Dutch is not a unitary phenomenon. Rather, it comprises not only clitic doubling (well-known from the literature), but also a construction we have called topic doubling. In the latter a base-generated topic in Spec,CP is doubled by a strong pronoun in the regular subject position. In our analysis of clitic doubling we have argued for the existence of two left-peripheral functional projections, the lower one attracting object clitics and the higher one (FinP) serving as the landing site for subject clitic movement."
