Channel Title: Carnie 2021 Syntax 4th Edition Channel Description: This channel is for videos to go along with the 4th edition of Syntax: A Generative Introduction. Carnie, Andrew (2021) and the second edition of Carnie, Andrew (2021) The Syntax Workbook.

Wiley-Blackwell. Video 18.4: Scrambling Scrambling is the phenomenon where languages exhibit relatively free word order. In this video it's suggested that in languages like Japanese the scrambled word orders are created by movement of DPs in topic and focus positions in the tree. </video> <video> Video 19.2: Merge And Adjuncts Description: Andrew Carnie presents Syntax: A Generative Introduction. 4th Edition. (2021). Wiley Blackwell. Video 19.2: Merge And Adjuncts The problem of adjuncts with Merge is explored. It's suggested that perhaps adjuncts are introduced by overlapping (rather than embedded) sets.

(2021) Wiley Blackwell. Video 19.3: Internal Merge The movement rule of chapter 13 called Move (which subsumes head movement, DP movement and Wh-movement) can be seen as a type of merge where instead of merging two completely different structures you merge a copy of something that is already contained inside the structure.

Wiley-Blackwell. Video 18.5: Non-configurationality The phenomenon of non-configurationality (which is both relatively free word order and a loose use of constituency) is proposed. Three hypotheses are presented. The Dual Structure approaches. The Pronominal Argument Hypothesis and Discourse driven Movement (Scrambling) hypothesis.

Wiley Blackwell. Video 18.3: Incorporation In this video Carnie presents the phenomenon of Incorporation, where direct objects appear in the middle of verbal structure. An account is given in terms of head to head movement of the N head into the the V head. This predicts that non-head material like adjectives will be stranded outside of the verb complex. And due to the Empty Category Principle (the requirement that moved elements c-commands the trace), it predicts that only object (not subjects) can incorporate.

Wiley Blackwell. Video 18.2: Polysynthesis This video explores the phenomenon of Polysynthesis where the work of what is done by Syntax in the languages we've been looking at up to now is actually done by the morphology. Whole sentences are bundled into single words. The video explains two hypotheses about this: The Syntax Free Hypothesis and the Radical Pro-drop hypothesis. Carnie also mentions a third approach not discussed in the textbook: The distributed morphology or "Syntax all the way down" approach.

It looks at the question of whether LLMs like ChatGPT constitute a real challenge to Generative Grammar, particularly with respect to the issues of Universal Grammar and Structural Dependence (i.e. are the principles underlying human syntax deterministic and rule-based or are they probabilistic and based in statistical frequency. The conclusion drawn is that LLMs, while impressive and sophisticated, don't replicate the properties of human language COMPETENCE. They are based on large data sets unavailable to children learning a language and they make incorrect inferences about structure. By contrast they are extremely good at PERFORMANCE. So they effectively model something distinct from Generative Grammar and neither approach negates the other. ©2023, Andrew Carnie Please purchase the book: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Syntax%3A+A+Generative+Introduction%2C+4th+Edition-p-9781119569312 </video> <video> Video 19.1: External Merge Description: Andrew Carnie presents Syntax: A Generative Introduction. 4th Edition (2021). Wiley Blackwell. Video 19.1: External Merge Chapter 19 looks at the Minimalist theory of Merge, which tries to derive X-bar theoretic notions from otherwise motivated things we need. X-bar is shown to derive from the mathematical notion of set formation and the differences between X heads, X's, and XPs, follows from the domination relationships. The operation of External merge is explored.
