This paper provides a syntactic account of inner island phenomena within the current framework of the Minimalist Program developed by Chomsky (2000, 2001, 2004, 2005). I will argue that inner islands reflect a certain property of a phase. Specifically, EPP-assignment to phase heads is crucial and this explains selectivity or D/non-D asymmetry in the relevant phenomena. In dealing with inner islands, I will propose that NegP/ΣP should be identified as a phase when its head has a valued feature ([+/-Neg]) before Spell-Out. Feature-valuation through agreement plays an important role for phase identification. Other weak islands will also be discussed in connection with the phase theory.

This paper aims to account for the fact that VP adverbs accompanied by their complements must appear in sentence-final position. It is argued that this distributional restriction follows from the interaction between the mechanisms of adverbial modification and linearization. The proposed mechanism of adverbial modification requires VP adverbs to be adjoined to projections of V or v, while the proposed mechanism of linearization requires that adverbs with complements must be adjoined to phases for the sentence to be properly linearlized, which results in their appearance in the right periphery. The same mechanisms are further shown to be naturally extended to explain distributional properties of subject- and speaker-oriented adverbs.

Contrary to the received view that English does not allow head-internal relative clauses, I point out that it does in fact have such clauses. After giving a detailed syntactic description of the construction, we argue that head-internal relatives are made possible through three adjacent successive stages: first, the stage of head-external relatives, second, the stage of a bridge construction with double analysis available, i. e., there is a head-external relative that allows for a head-internal interpretation, and finally, the stage of pure head-internal relatives. This process is characteristically a type of extension in grammatical dynamism. It is shown, furthermore, that this analysis encompasses another domain of data and that it is theoretically rich and constrained.

This paper examines the factors that have contributed to the category shift observed in the English phrase schematically represented as “all X wants/likes, ” from its basic usage as an NP that occurs as the subject or the copula complement, to the derived adverbial usage as an intensifier. I maintain that the factors include reanalysis triggered by the sentential position of the phrase that allows for ambiguity as well as the very restricted types of context in which the phrase occurs. Properties of the phrase relating to the category shift are presented through an examination of spontaneous examples from two major corpora. Also, several properties of the intensifier usage that reveal subjectivity are pointed out.
