Descripción del proyecto
The nature of the relationship between a verb and its grammatical dependents is an ancient question
in linguistics, tracing back to Aristotelian notions of the subject-predicate relation. A major debate in current theoretical
linguistics is how to model this, and the standard view (that the relevant information is stored as part of the
grammatical specification of the verb) has been challenged by the development of a new idea: that both the verb
and its noun-dependents are embedded inside syntactic hierarchies of fundamentally grammatical elements (socalled
functional categories encoding notions such as tense, aspect, definiteness and numerosity) and that it is the
interaction between the functional category structures that embed the verb and the noun that is responsible for establishing
the dependency. This viewpoint has allowed a new and empirically successful understanding of the relationship
between a verb and its dependents, capturing how definiteness and grammatical number interact with aspectual
categories across different languages. However, this new approach has never been applied to the other major
grammatical dependency that verbs set up: clausal complementation. That is, the parallel relation between a
verb and its clausal, as opposed to nominal, dependents. This project investigates, using interdisciplinary methods,
whether these new theoretical ideas can be applied to this empirical domain, comparing two languages (Greek and
English) whose clausal syntax is quite different. The objective is to both test the theoretical model in a new empirical
area, leading to new findings about how clausal embedding works syntactically, and to determine how best to
develop and extend the model to domains that it was not designed for. The action requires extended training in experimental
methods and design (both behavioural and neurolinguistic), statistical analysis, development of systematic
theoretical models, as well as interaction with a non-academic partner
