A One-level Analysis of Icelandic Quirky Case

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

    Abstract

    This paper presents a single level analysis of the f-structure of Quirky Case NPs in Icelandic that covers the data of the two-level analysis presented by Andrews (1982, 1990), using the ‘split lexicon’ and DBA Glue proposal of Andrews (2007, 2008) to deal with the phenomena that motivated the two-level analysis. The resulting analysis is simpler in some ways (although perhaps a bit more stipulative in others), and more consistent with recent developments in LFG such as the Kibort-Findlay Mapping Theory.
