Clausal Ellipsis and Case (Mis)Matching in Icelandic Jim Wood,1 Matthew Barros,1 Einar Freyr Sigurðsson2 1Yale University and 2University of Pennsylvania Abstract In this paper, we take a detailed look at clausal ellipsis in Icelandic, a hitherto understudied phenomenon.

WPSS artikel.dvi Relative clauses are not always strong islands∗ Filippa Lindahl University of Gothenburg Abstract Scandinavian relative clause extraction seems to violate purportedly universal locality con- ditions (i.e. the Complex NP Constraint (Ross 1967), Subjacency (Chomsky 1973) and the Phase Impenetrability Condition (Chomsky 2001)). Recent analyses of the construction rely on the assumpti
