Compaction of a sign has two purposes:

It ensures that the resulting domain object canbe inserted into the DOM list of the mother as oneelement filling only one slot

And it eliminates information on the internalstructure of the sign (information on itsdaughters) which is not needed and should notbe available in the further derivation

Constituency

’Det infinitte verbum + indholdsled er etverbalhypotagme der udgør enkonstituent, og neksusfeltet er pladsen fordet komplekse neksusled.’

’The nonfinite verb + content sentencemembers is a verb phrase whichconstitutes one constituent, and the nexusfield is the place for the complex nexussentence member ’Heltoft (1986, p. 111)

’Der [i modalitetsfeltet, TB] kan stå enkompleks konstituent, nemlighovedsætningens primære neksus.’

’There [in the modality field, TB] can beplaced a complex constituent, namely theprimary nexus of the main clause’Heltoft (1986, p. 112)

F/a m n a1 v V N A

hvis han så husker bogen

if he then remembers book-the

han husker sgu bogen

he remembers by God book-the

Also the nucleus field (nexus + content field) issupposed to contain one constituent whichsemantically can be the first argument of apreposition heading a free adverbial:

(1) hvisif

dethey

trorbelieve

hamhim

MoskvaMoscow

In main clauses this argument does not hold:

F field Nexus field Content field a2

F/a m n a1 v V N A

hvis de tror på ham i M.

if they be- on him in M.

de tror på ham i M.

As Hentze remarks

’... unless the empty n and v positions areassumed to be coindexed in some waywith the corresponding constituents in theModality field, the material in the Nexusfield (the remaining object PP) can hardlybe viewed as an argument of the adjunctPP; nothing in his analysis though,suggests that Heltoft (1986) is adoptingsuch a move.’Hentze (1996, p. 32)

It seems in conflict with the whole idea oftopology as an independent level of linguisticanalysis to try and express syntactic andsemantic generalizations in linear terms.

A purely linear model with slots but no fieldsseems preferable

A model like Heltoft’s with separate n and a1slots (and additional l slot between them, seebelow) is preferable

Object shift

A full NP object follows a sentence negation,(4a), while an unstressed, pronominal directobject may precede it, (4b):

(4) a. PeterPeter

læsteread

ikkenot

bogen.book-the

b. PeterPeter

læsteread

◦denit

ikke.not

The same goes for indirect objects as shown in(5):

(5) a. OleOle

gavgave

ikkenot

PeterPeter

bogen.book-the

b. OleOle

gavgave

◦hamhim

ikkenot

bogen.book-the

In Danish, unstressed, pronominal objects mustshift if they can:

(6) *PeterPeter

læsteread

ikkenot

◦den.it

Two factors block object shift. If the main verboccupies the V slot also unstressed, pronominalobjects must occur in the N slot.

(7) a. *PeterPeter

harhas

◦denit

ikkenot

læst.read

b. Peter har ikke læst ◦den

(8) a. *atthat

PeterPeter

◦denit

ikkenot

læste.read

b. at Peter ikke læste ◦den

In double object constructions the direct objectcan shift only in case the indirect object is out ofthe way, either because it has also shifted orbecause it is placed in the F slot.

The indirect object may shift even if the directobject does not.

Formalization

The order of elements on the DOM list of any signis restricted by the following constraint:

sign −→[

sc ≺ F ≺ m ≺ n* ≺ l* ≺ a1* ≺ V* ≺ N ≺ A ≺ a2* ≺ H⟩]

Finite verbs are lexically assigned adomain-object of type verbal subsuming m andV :

We need four constraints:

Full NP objects cannot occur in l

Objects cannot precede their verbal head

IO must precede DO in l and/or N

Unstressed pronominal objects cannot occurin N unless preceded either by an instantiatedV slot or a full NP indirect object in N

Only unstressed pronouns can occur in l :

Verb-particle constructionsIn Danish all objects (except when extraposed) precedethe particle in verb-particle constructions:

(13) a. Peter

bøgerne

books-the

b. *Peter

bøgerne

books-the

(13) a. Peter

bøgerne

books-the

b. *Peter

bøgerne

books-the

(14) a. Peter

b. *Peter

The particle precedes free adjuncts in the a2 slot and it isaccordingly assigned to the A slot.Verb and particle combine in a head-copred-phrase

In Swedish the object follows the particle:

(15) Sanna

kastade

bockerna.

books-the

Toivonen (2003, p. 1)

Following Kathol (2000) I suggest that in Swedish theparticle is assigned not to A but to V (Kathol’s vc).

The fact that object shift is blocked in verb-particleconstructions in Swedish follows directly from one of theconstraints on head-comps-phr on slide 46 that theobject(s) cannot precede an instantiated V slot.

Objects in theF slot

Objects can also occur in the F slot:

(16) Den

læste

Objects in theF slot

Objects can also occur in the F slot:

(16) Den

læste

Pronominal objects may only be fronted if they arestressed:

(17) a. *oHam

b. ’Ham

The object may even occur in the F slot of a higher clause:

(18) Den

læst.

We introduce a trace to satisfy locally the need for anobject. The trace has no phonology and no domain object:

The filler is compacted to a domain object of the typel(eft)-periph(eral) with the subtypes F and m:

In our example the m slot is occupied by the verb and sothe filler is forced to occupy the F slot.
