Advances in formal Slavic linguistics 2017

Synopsis

Advances in Formal Slavic Linguistics 2017 is a collection of fifteen articles that were prepared on the basis of talks given at the conference Formal Description of Slavic Languages 12.5, which was held on December 7-9, 2017, at the University of Nova Gorica. The volume covers a wide array of topics, such as control verbs, instrumental arguments, and perduratives in Russian, comparatives, negation, n-words, negative polarity items, and complementizer ellipsis in Czech, impersonal se-constructions and complementizer doubling in Slovenian, prosody and the morphology of multi-purpose suffixes in Serbo-Croatian, and indefinite numerals and the binding properties of dative arguments in Polish. Importantly, by exploring these phenomena in individual Slavic languages, the collection of articles in this volume makes a significant contribution to both Slavic linguistics and to linguistics in general.

Franc Marušič is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Nova Gorica. His work focuses on Slovenian syntax, both theoretical and experimental. His particular interests include DP-syntax, agreement, various types of ellipsis and other unpronounced material, and language acquisition.

Petra Mišmaš, University of Nova Gorica

Petra Mišmaš is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nova Gorica. She focuses primarily on syntax of Slavic languages, particularly on the nominal domain and the structure of the left periphery. Her research interests also include experimental exploration of language acquisition and different language phenomena.

Rok Žaucer, University of Nova Gorica
