The Qualitative Difference in Acceptability in Extraposition from NP Sentences Shiobara, Kayono 137960 930 Extraposition from NP (EXNP) preposition-stranding pied-piping of a preposition processin application/pdf Extraposition from NP (EXNP) sentences in English exhibit a variety of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties. Shiobara (1997) analyzes EXNP in terms of sentence processing and accounts for the acceptability of EXNP sentences by syntactic and semantic/pragmatic processing principles. However, the degree of acceptability of each sentence is not necessarily the same. For example, an EXNP sentence with preposition-stranding is always found to be worse than a corresponding EXNP sentence with pied-piping of a preposition. This paper shows that the qualitative difference in acceptability in EXNP sentences results from the modified version of the Nested Dependency Constraint proposed by Fodor (1978). departmental bulletin paper Tokyo University English Linguistics Association 1999-12 application/pdf Linguistic research : working papers in English linguistics 16 1 17 AA10462609 https://repository.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/record/39242/files/lr016001.pdf https://doi.org/10.15083/00039233 http://hdl.handle.net/2261/6768 https://repository.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/records/39242 eng
