The study Research questions
Research Questions
• Do all verbs in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) allow for both co-referenceand dis-reference in Pan clauses?
• Is there obligatory control in MSA?
• What is the syntactic structure of the construction(s)?

The study Co-referring and dis-referring predicates
Sentential complements in MSA(Persson, 2002)
• A corpus-based study
• Pan clauses with an overt embedded subject vs. Pan clauses in which thesubject is deleted under co-reference
• The semantics of the embedding verb determines the preference fordis-reference or co-reference:
• manipulative predicates prefer co-reference (force, allow).• cognitive predicates (desiderative, commentative, fearing) prefer dis-reference
(want, wish).• modal predicates were not included under the assumption that they always
require co-reference.

The study Co-referring and dis-referring predicates
Standard Arabic Pan and Panna(Habib, 2009)
• There are no real “control” predicates in MSA.
• All Pan-clauses allow for both co-reference and dis-reference.

Predicates which select tensed complements

• Propositional (believe, think, claim,...)
• Desideratives (want, prefer, hope,...)
• Interrogatives adjectives (wonder, ask, find out,...)
(12) Yesterday, John hoped to solve the problem tomorrow.
Predicates which select untensed complements
• Implicatives (dare, manage, remember,...)
• Aspectuals (start, stop,...)
• Modals (have, need, may,...)
• Evaluative adjectives (rude, silly,...)

Landau’s finiteness rule for Obligatory Control:
T+ T-Agr+ NC OCAgr- OC OC
• If a complement clause is untensed it will enforce obligatory control.
• “There cannot be a language where modal, aspectual and implicative verbsor evaluative adjectives allow an uncontrolled complement subject.” (p. 106)

The study Predictions
Seeking control in MSA: Predictions
• Persson (2002): Obligatory co-reference in MSA with modals
• Habib (2009): No obligatory co-reference in MSA
• Roussou (2009): A continuum (aspectuals —– desideratives)
• Landau (2013): Control is obligatory when the complement clause is untensed

Interim summary
• Instances of dis-reference were found across all semantic categories.
• Although Landau’s tensed-untensed classification holds for MSA, predicateswhich select untensed complements allowed dis-reference.

The study Proposed analysis
Backward raising(Wurmbrand & Haddad, 2016)
• Only raising verbs of “appropinquation” (proximity, hope, inception) canoccur in a backward raising configuration:
(21) PawSakat/PawSaknawere.about.to.3sf/3pf
[(Pan)(AN)
tanZaèasucceed.3sf.sbj
tQ-tQa:liba:t-u]the-students.pf-nom
‘The female students were about to succeed.’
• Prescriptively, partial agreement on the matrix predicate is consideredungrammatical.
• But no conclusive evidence of full agreement was found in contemporarytexts.
• Both patterns are available in SA (traditional and contemporary).

The study Proposed analysis
Backward patterns with “control” predicates
• Contrary to Wurmbrand & Haddad (2016), the backward pattern was foundalso with “control” predicates.
• Corpus-based usage data contradict prescriptive grammar and the internallogic of the grammar.
• We propose that the use of partial agreement in the backward pattern ismotivated by analogy to the partial agreement of simple VSO clauses.
• We suspect that this has to do with the fact that MSA is not spoken nativelyby any speakers.
• This phenomenon remains an open issue.

Conclusions
Conclusions
• Predicates which select Pan clause complements vary with respect to their“preference” for co-reference vs. dis-reference.
• This variance seems to align with Roussou’s (2009) semantic-basedcontinuum and with Landau’s (2013) tensed/untensed distinction.
• Nevertheless, there is no evidence for the existence of obligatory co-referenceor control in MSA Pan clauses.
