Forum description \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The minimalist research program (Chomsky 1995 et seq.) creates a paradox for movement operations: Merge is conceptually necessary, but Move \u2013 and its accompanying Agree relation \u2013 is not. Yet there are many natural language phenomena which are insightfully analyzed using the metaphors of movement and agreement. We wish to theorize the paradox of Move\/Agree (Keupdjio 2020), namely why does Move\/Agree exist at all, if it is conceptually unnecessary? This forum focuses on the syntactic contexts that can be analyzed as instances of A\u2032-movement and which are also associated with A\u2032-agreement; g. content questions, relativization, information-structure operations like topicalization and focus. The agreement morphology that arises with A\u2032-movement is known under various names:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A\u2032-agreement<\/strong> (<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Schneider-Zioga 1995, Chen 2017,\u00a0<\/span>Keupdjio 2020);<\/li>\n<li><strong>wh-agreement<\/strong> (Chung 1994, Carstens 2005, Reintges, LeSourd &amp; Chung 2006, Hedinger 2008, Schneider-Zioga 2009, Lochbihler &amp; Mathieu 2010);<\/li>\n<li><strong>wh-copying<\/strong> (Fanselow &amp; Mahajan 2000, Felser 2004);<\/li>\n<li><strong>extraction morphology<\/strong> (Zentz 2016);<\/li>\n<li><strong>complementizer agreement<\/strong> (McCloskey 2001, Carstens 2003);<\/li>\n<li><strong>reflex of<\/strong> <strong>successive cyclic<\/strong> <strong>movement<\/strong> (van Urk 2015, Georgi 2017).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grouping these various morphological reflexes of A\u2032-movement together as instances of A\u2032-agreement, this forum explores the connection between A\u2032-movement and A\u2032-agreement with two goals in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to gain a broader and deeper <strong>empirical coverage of A\u2032-agreement<\/strong> via case studies of\u00a0typologically distinct languages from a variety of language families;<\/li>\n<li>to <strong>move forward the theory of A\u2032-agreement <\/strong>defined as a non-local morphosyntactic feature-sharing mechanism that correlates with A\u2032-movement (Baier 2018).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2.

Call for papers: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We welcome contributions addressing the formal analysis of A\u2032-movement as it relates to A\u2032-agreement. Priority will be given to abstracts focused on the following research questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Which contexts<\/strong> condition A\u2032-agreement? A\u2032-movement is associated with a variety of operator-sensitive contexts (Chomsky 1980, Cinque 1990). The correlated A\u2032-agreement may occur in some or all of these contexts leading to this question: what determines where A\u2032-agreement occurs?<\/li>\n<li>What is the <strong>realization of A\u2032-agreement<\/strong> in a given language?<br \/>\nWhat is the <u>form<\/u> of A\u2032-agreement? Does it involve an overt morpheme in the form of concordial agreement (Chung 1994; Carstens 2005; Zentz 2016) or a particle (Ep\u00e9e 1976), allomorphy (Keupdjio 2020), a change in linear order (e.g. French stylistic inversion, cf. Kayne and Pollock 1978, 2001), a change in tone (Clements 1979; Zaenen 1983; Korsah and Murphy 2015; Georgyi 2017; Keupdjio 2020), a change in phonological phrasing, intonation, or something else?<\/li>\n<li>What is the <u>locus<\/u> of A\u2032-agreement? Is A\u2032-agreement realized on <u>functional<\/u> heads (e.g. T, Neg, C) or on <u>lexical<\/u> heads (e.g. V, N)? (Keupdjio 2020); at the <u>extraction site<\/u> (e.g. as a resumptive pronoun or clitic) or at the <u>landing site<\/u>?; as a <u>single exponent<\/u> (i.e. realized once only) or as <u>multiple exponents<\/u> (i.e. realized several times across the A\u2032-dependency)? (Georgi 2017; Keupdjio 2020).<\/li>\n<li>How is A\u2032-agreement modelled as a kind of <strong>agreement<\/strong>?<br \/>\nWhich <u>theories of agreement<\/u> generalize to A\u2032-agreement? For example, mechanisms of feature-sharing and feature-inheritance are compatible with full interpretation of all features (Pesetsky &amp; Torrego 2006; Chomsky 2008; Gallego 2014). In contrast, mechanisms of feature-checking, feature-transfer, or feature-deletion require that some features be uninterpretable, which is incompatible with full interpretation (Pesetsky &amp; Torrego 2001; Gallego 2009; Carstens 2016).<\/li>\n<li>How does A\u2032-agreement interact with other types of <u>\u03c6-feature agreement<\/u> such as number or gender? (Deal 2015; Carsten 2005; Baier 2018).<\/li>\n<li>How does A\u2032-agreement bear on the debate about how to formulate <strong>derivation by phase?<\/strong> The major difference is whether phases are static or dynamic (Gallego 2009: 112).<br \/>\n<u>Static<\/u> treatments include treating every Merge or XP as a phase (Epstein &amp; Seely 2002; M\u00fcller 2010), treating only <em>v<\/em>P as a phase (Rakowski and Richards 2005), and treating only <em>v<\/em>P and CP as phases (Chomsky 2000, 2008; van Urk 2015; Georgi 2017).<br \/>\n<u>Dynamic treatments<\/u> attend to phonological, morphological, or semantic correlates of (in)dependence (Fox &amp; Pesetsky 2005, Den Dikken 2007, Gallego 2007, Wurmbrand 2012, Harwood 2015, Ramchand &amp; Svenonius 2014, Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 2014, Sailor 2014, Aelbrecht &amp; Harwood 2015, Keupdjio 2020).<\/li>\n<li>What does the formal syntax of A\u2032-agreement reveal about <strong>interface<\/strong> issues?<br \/>\nWhat does the syntax of A\u2032-agreement reveal about the interface between phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics? Does A\u2032-agreement depend <strong>on<\/strong> <u>any other phenomena<\/u>? Does A\u2032-agreement develop <strong>from<\/strong> <u>other grammatical phenomena<\/u>?<br \/>\n\u2022 What does the syntax of A\u2032-agreement reveal us about formal language typology, language variation, and language change? Is A\u2032-agreement associated with specific language families? Is A\u2032-agreement associated with specific language areas? Does A\u2032-agreement occur accidentally or is it a historical tendency? Is A\u2032-agreement rare or just underreported?<br \/>\n\u2022 What does the syntax of A\u2032-agreement reveal about human cognition relative to language acquisition and language processing (including perception, production, and lateralization)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Format of the Forum<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This forum is \u2014 a public space of open discussion \u2014 for leading-edge research on the formal syntax of A\u2019-agreement.
