| Popis | A few Irish verbs change their root shape when negated. Conversely, negation changes its shape in front of those verbs. This is traditionally described as agreement: if one is special, the other agrees to be special. I will argue that these facts are better understood as a case of complementary distribution: when the verbs grows, the negation shrinks, and vice-versa. Since the negation is pre-verbal (traditionally described as a particle), this coordinated growing and shrinking can be challenging to capture theoretically. This will lead me to explore an upgrade to the Nanosyntactic clause-building algorithm. |
