Derivations without the Activity Condition
Nevins, Andrew Ira (Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The EPP cannot be reduced to the Inverse Case Filter (contra Boskovic 2002) and remains for the moment axiomatic in phrase-marker construction. Feature-splitting, Agree, and the EPP allow for a range of derivational options ... -
A Distributed Morphology Analysis of Present Tense Auxiliaries in Zamudio
Arregi, Karlos; Nevins, Andrew Ira (Mendebalde Kultur Alkartea, 2006)We provide an analysis of the morphology of present indicative auxiliary verbs in Zamudio Basque. In doing so we present an illustration of the theory of Distributed Morphology and the post-syntactic rules that obscure a ... -
Echo Reduplication: When Too-Local Movement Requires PF-Distinctness
Grohmann, Kleanthes K.; Nevins, Andrew Ira (Linguistics Dept., University of Maryland, 2004)This paper provides supporting evidence for a number of hypotheses made in recent models of derivational syntax. The phenomenon under study is shm-reduplication in English, a particular instance of the more general, ... -

Nevins, Andrew Ira; Vaux, Bert (Chicago Linguistic Society, 2003)This paper explores English shm- reduplication and aims to answer questions that have previously been left open on the subject. Results from an online survey show emerging patterns that have not been adequately addressed ... -
Microvariations in Harmony and Value-Relativized Parametrization
Nevins, Andrew Ira (John Benjamins Publishing, 2005)This paper explores a parametric delimitation of the space of possible harmony patterns with respect to the class of feature-values that are visible. Extending the framework of Calabrese (1995), the proposal is that ... -

Arregi, Karlos; Nevins, Andrew Ira (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2007) -
On Formal Universals in Phonology
Nevins, Andrew Ira (Cambridge University Press, 2009)Understanding the universal aspects of human language structure requires comparison at multiple levels of analysis. While Evans & Levinson (E&L) focus mostly on substantive variation in language, equally revealing insights ... -
On the Syntactic Expression of Pejorative Mood
Grohmann, Kleanthes K.; Nevins, Andrew Ira (John Benjamins Publishing, 2004)The hypothesis of the copy theory of movement forces us to look at mismatches between syntax and LF on the one hand, and syntax and PF on the other in particular ways, often revealing new insights. Through such a lens, we ... -
Opaque Nasalization in the Lingua do Pe of Salvador, Brasil
Guimaraes, Maximiliano; Nevins, Andrew Ira (2006)We examine the pattern of opaque nasalization in two invented language games, as played by volunteers who were native speakers of the dialect of Brazilian Portuguese spoken in Salvador, Brasil. One group of speakers, on ... -
Overwriting Does Not Optimize in Nonconcatenative Word Formation
Nevins, Andrew Ira (Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2005)Overwriting is modeled in Optimality Theory as a competition for a position within the derivational base (Alderete et al. 1999, Ussishkin 1997). Faithfulness constraints that are evaluated on the basis of segment counting ...
