Publication Degree Phrase Raising in Relative Clauses(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2013) Szczegielniak, AdamThe paper proposes that degree/amount relative clauses are derived via overt Degree Phrase raising out of the CP. I show that there exist two distinct types of degree relative clauses whose properties can be deduced from the differences between the two types of DegP argued to be present in the grammar by Neelman, van de Koot & Doetjes (2004). This raises the possibility that syntactic and semantic variation between classes of relative constructions can be reduced to the type of lexical item that is raised out of the CP.Publication VP Ellipsis and Topicalization(BookSurge Publishing, 2004) Szczegielniak, AdamThis paper supports the model where VP ellipsis is licensed via de-stressing which in turn is licensed via Focus closure (Rooth 1992). However, it is also argued that we have to assume that ellipsis is preceded by the establishment of Focus/Topic relations in overt syntax. This can be done in two ways: by focusing the subject, provided a Σ head is in the numeration, or by topicalizing the VP. The first strategy gives rise to non bare-VP ellipsis, the second to bare-VP ellipsis.Publication Two types of resumptive pronouns in polish relative clauses(John Benjamins Publishing, 2005) Szczegielniak, AdamThis paper discusses two types of resumptive pronouns found in Polish relative clauses: (i) adjacent resumptives and (ii) embedded resumptives. It will be argued that adjacent resumptives are truncated forms of the relative operator, whereas embedded resumptives are ‘regular’ resumptive pronouns found in other languages like Hebrew and Russian. Support for this claim will come from analyzing the differences between adjacent and embedded resumptives, and analyzing the similarities between adjacent resumptives and relative operators. Cross-linguistic data involving the interaction of relative clause formation and resumption, as well as the interaction of cliticization and resumption will provide additional support for the above claim.Publication All Sluiced Up, But No Alleviation in Sight...(2006) Szczegielniak, AdamPublication Review of Copular Clauses in English and Polish. Structure, Derivation, and Interpretation by Anna Bondaruk(Slavic Linguistics Society, 2014) Szczegielniak, AdamPublication Review of Copular Clauses in English and Polish. Structure, Derivation and Interpretation(Slavica Publishers, 2014) Szczegielniak, AdamPublication A discussion of “linguistic” approaches to agrammatic disorder studies(2007) Szczegielniak, AdamPublication Polish Optional Movement(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2001) Szczegielniak, AdamIn current Minimalism Move/Attract is considered to be a Last Resort operation driven by the need to eliminate features unreadable at the PF or LF interfaces (see, e.g., Chomsky 1995). Crucially, if elements move because they are forced to, then there should be no language exhibiting a structure with the same Numeration and yet with different linear orders.1 Consequently, optional movement poses a problem for current Minimalism. In this paper I will discuss certain properties of various word orders in Polish and will attempt to propose a minimalist account of Polish optional movement. As a starting point, I will assume the minimalist framework proposed in Chomsky (1995, Chap.4) and later modified in his MIT 1997 lectures.Publication Certain Aspects of Cliticization in Polish(Penn Graduate Linguistics Society, 1995) Szczegielniak, AdamThe main goal of this paper is to present an account of certain forms of cliticization in Polish. I will try to show that the fact that certain clitics undergo phonological processes typically assumed to be lexical does not exclude the possibility of them being generated in the syntax, hence this paper is also an attempt to provide a framework of the interaction between different modules of grammar. Clitics are a good ground since their behavior is distinct in different levels of grammar, especially syntax and phonology.Publication Dynamic Phase Heads the Case of the Invisible Dp in Slavic(MIT, 2017) Szczegielniak, Adam
