The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Elena Anagnostopoulou (University of Crete and IMS-FORTH), speaking on Rethinking Clitics: A View From Greek.

This is an in-person event. You can also join virtually via Zoom.

In this talk, Elena Anagnostopoulou 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. She 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, she will highlight arguments that, in her view, are crucial to decide between different versions of movement analyses.

Over the course of each year, the Linguistics department hosts colloquia by distinguished faculty from around the world. For more information: https://linguistics.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia/index.html
