Islands

The aim of this class is to reflect on the nature, the boundaries and the explanations
of island constraints. It will have both a theoretical and an empirical/experimental
stance, including 1) a survey of the theoretical proposals that have been made and their
problems ; 2) an exploration of radically alternative proposals advocating processing
difficulties or pragmatic oddities as the only factors explaining islands ; 3) the setting of
some experimental guidelines on how to tease apart these factors.

Students taking the seminar will have
a) to discuss a paper
b) to present about an experiment to be: to pick up an island, an analysis and a language,
and set up an experiment aiming at testing the predictions of that analysis for that
island effects on that language.
