Anagnostopoulou colloquium

This Friday (May 23), the Department will welcome Professor Elena Anagnostopoulou (University of Crete and IMS-FORTH), who will give a colloquium talk entitled “Rethinking clitics: A view from Greek” (1:20 pm, Humanities 1, Room 202):

In this talk, I will revisit the relationship between clitic doubling and object agreement in connection to the syntax of clitics, via an assessment of three recent proposals on Greek clitic doubling. I will offer novel evidence based on co-ordination resolution supporting the view that clitic doubling involves a dependency  between a clitic with iφ and a DP with iφ. Finally, I will highlight  arguments that, in my view, are crucial to decide between different versions of movement analyses.

Professor Anagnostopoulou will be sticking around the Department next week, when she will give a two-day mini-course on parameters.
