Tvorbeno jezikoslovje o slovenščini
Franc Marušič, Petra Mišmaš, Rok Žaucer, other performed works

Abstract: Tvorbeno jezikoslovje je nastalo v petdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja in se hitro razširilo po Severni Ameriki in drugod po svetu. Spodbudilo je tudi nastanek številnih variacij osnovne ideje ter tudi tako pripomoglo k prepoznavnosti splošnega jezikoslovja. V Sloveniji je bilo tvorbeno jezikoslovje dolgo časa obrobno, četudi smo imeli s tvorbenim jezikoslovje stik že vsaj od šestdesetih let. V zadnjih letih je število tvorbenih objav o slovenščini skokovito naraslo, zaradi česar se zdi primerno narediti pregled nekaj najodmevnejših objav, ki vključujejo slovenske podatke.
Keywords: jezikoslovje, tvorbeno jezikoslovje, slovenščina, skladnja, pregled

Potujoča jezikovna svetovalnica Fakultete za humanistiko (Nova Gorica)
Franc Marušič, Petra Mišmaš, Rok Žaucer, other performed works

Abstract: Potujoča jezikovna svetovalnica Fakultete za humanistiko je bila izvedena v okviru Tedna Univerze v Novi Gorici. Prvi del svetovalnice je bil izveden v sredo, 16. oktobra 2019, od 14.30 do 16.00 na Klubu goriških študentov v Novi Gorici (Trg Edvarda Kardelja 1, Nova Gorica). V dogodku, namenjenem predvsem dijakom, smo obiskovalcem odgovorili na vprašanja o jeziku in jim predstavili orodja, s katerimi si bodo v prihodnje pri podobnih vprašanjih lahko pomagali tudi sami. Svoja vprašanja so lahko obiskovalci posredovali tudi vnaprej, največ vprašanj pa je bilo namenjenih prevzemanju in pregibanju lastnih zemljepisnih imen.

Searching for the basis of the hierarchy of adjectives
Petra Mišmaš, invited lecture at foreign university

Abstract: The talk focuses on several experiments which were conducted during the ongoing project Probing the cognitive basis of the cartographic hierarchy of functional projections in the noun phrase (J6-7282, financed by the Slovenian Research Agency and conducted at the University of Nova Gorica) and which were intended to establish whether cognition can be taken as a source of the universal hierarchy of functional projections in the noun phrase. The experiments are largely based on the findings of the cartographic approach to syntax, see for example Cinque & Rizzi (2008) for an overview. Specifically, we observe the functional hierarchy of projections which host attributive adjectives in the noun phrase. Under cartography, the existence of such a hierarchy is responsible for the strict word order of adjectives which seems to be, just like the hierarchy itself, universal (see for example Hetzron 1978, Sproat and Shih 1991, etc.). Put differently, the order of adjectives is universal because adjectives are hosted by functional projections which appear in a universal hierarchy (Cinque 1994, Scott 2002). And while much of the cartographic work tries to answer (i) how many functional projections there are and (ii) in which order they come, we focus on the source of the hierarchy of functional projections. Different sources have been suggested in the past, with some authors arguing that the order of adjectives is a consequence of Universal Grammar (Scott 2002), however, we investigate general cognition as a possible source of the universal hierarchy of functional projections, as proposed by Cinque & Rizzi (2008) and Ramchand & Svenonius (2014). To test the hypothesis that the universal hierarchy is dictated by general-cognition restrictions we have created tasks to observe whether the order of projections, which host adjectives, is reflected in various non-linguistic cognitive processes. If a bias is detected, it could be taken as indication that universal hierarchies of functional projections are based on properties of general cognition. To address this prediction, we only consider three types of properties: size, shape and color. These are encoded in adjectives for size, shape and color (for example, adjective red is related to the property of being red) which universally come in the order size > shape > color. Specifically, we expect to find a larger bias towards color, followed by shape and finally by size. This prediction was tested with two different tasks performed by adult subjects and with a sorting task which was tested with the help of subjects aged 18 to 36 months.

Size before shape, shape before color
Petra Mišmaš, invited lecture at foreign university

Abstract: The talk builds on an old observation that the order of attributive adjectives is universal (see for example Hetzron 1978, Sproat and Shih 1991, etc.). This also holds for adjectives for size, shape and color which seem to universally come in the order size > shape > color. One account of such adjective ordering restrictions was offered by the cartographic approach to syntax, see for example Cinque & Rizzi (2008) for an overview of the cartographic program. The core idea of this approach is that phrases consist from lexical heads which are dominated by hierarchies of functional projections. Crucially, the order of functional projections in the hierarchies is argued to be universal. This also holds for the noun phrase in which functional projections host, among other material, adjectives (Cinque 1994, Scott 2002). This means that the order of adjectives is universal because adjectives are hosted by functional projections which appear in a universal hierarchy. Based on this, the focus of the talk will be on the adjectives for size, shape and color as these adjectives will be used to investigate the possibility of a cognitive basis of the universal hierarchy of functional projections. Following Cinque & Rizzi (2008) and Ramchand & Svenonius (2014), general cognition will be considered as a possible source of the universal hierarchy of functional projections. Specifically, I will report on a series of experiments which are a result of joint work with Rok Žaucer and Franc Lanko Marušič and are a part of an ongoing project Probing the cognitive basis of the cartographic hierarchy of functional projections in the noun phrase (J6-7282) financed by the Slovenian Research Agency and conducted at the University of Nova Gorica. These experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that if the universal hierarchy is dictated by general-cognition restrictions, then the order of projections hosting adjectives should be reflected in various non-linguistic cognitive processes. In the talk, I will report on the results of these experiments as well as ongoing research.

Elided Clausal Conjunction Is Not the Only Source of Closest‐Conjunct Agreement: A Picture‐Matching Study
Boban Arsenijević, Jana Willer-Gold, Nadira Aljović, Nermina Čordalija, Marijana Kresić, Nedžad Leko, Frane Malenica, Franc Marušič, Tanja Milićev, Nataša Milićević, Petra Mišmaš, Ivana Mitić, Anita Peti-Stantić, Branimir Stanković, Jelena Tušek, Andrew Nevins, 2019, original scientific article

Abstract: A recurring hypothesis about the agreement phenomena generalized as closest‐conjunct agreement takes this pattern to result from reduced clausal conjunction, simply displaying the agreement of the verb with the nonconjoined subject of the clause whose content survives ellipsis (Aoun, Benmamoun & Sportiche 1994, 1999; see also Wilder 1997). Closest‐conjunct agreement is the dominant agreement pattern in the South Slavic languages Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. A natural question is whether closest‐conjunct agreement in these varieties may indeed be analyzed as entirely derived from conjunction reduction. In this article, we report on two experiments conducted to test this. The results reject the hypothesis as far as these languages are concerned, thereby upholding the relevance of models developed to account for closest‐conjunct agreement within theories of agreement.

Adjectives, hierarchies and cognition
Petra Mišmaš, invited lecture at foreign university

Abstract: In this talk we will focus on the universal hierarchy of functional projections that host specific types of adjectives and the source of this hierarchy. To achieve this, the talk will consist from two parts. In the first part, the relevant background on the cartographic approach and the order of attributive adjectives will be given. In the second part of the talk, the focus will be on experiments which were conducted to establish if cognition can be taken as a source of the universal hierarchy of functional projections. Specifically, we will first consider the cartographic approach to syntax. Cartography suggests that phrases consist from lexical heads which are dominated by hierarchies of functional projections. Crucially, these hierarchies are argued to be universal, see a. o. Cinque & Rizzi (2008) for an overview of the cartographic program. This also holds for the noun phrase in which functional projections host, among other material, adjectives. This view then gives a natural explanation for the order of attributive adjectives which was said to be universal as well, see for example Hetzron (1978), Cinque (1994), Scott (2002). That is, the order of adjectives is universal because adjectives are hosted by functional projections which appear in a universal hierarchy. The second part of the talk will focus on the source of the universal word order and the functional hierarchy that dictates it. Following Cinque & Rizzi (2008) and Ramchand & Svenonius (2014), we will consider general cognition as one possible source of the universal hierarchy of functional projections. Specifically, I will report on a series of experiments which are a result of joint work with Rok Žaucer and Franc Marušič and are a part of an ongoing project "Probing the cognitive basis of the cartographic hierarchy of functional projections in the noun phrase" financed by the Slovenian Research Agency and conducted at the University of Nova Gorica. Crucially, these experiments are conducted to test the hypothesis that if the universal hierarchy is dictated by general-cognition restrictions, then the order of projections hosting adjectives should be reflected in various non-linguistic cognitive processes. To test this prediction, we are focusing on adjectives for size, color, and shape which seem to universally come in the order size > shape > color. In the talk, I will report on the results of the experiments as well as our future plans.

Surviving sluicing
Franc Marušič, Petra Mišmaš, Vesna Plesničar, Tina Šuligoj, 2018, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss examples of sluicing in Slovenian in which, in addition to a wh-phrase (or wh-phrases in instances of multiple sluicing) discourse particles appear. This is unexpected given Merchant’s (2001) Sluicing-COMP generalization, as already observed in Marušič et al. (2015), even though there are several languages in which similar cases exist, e.g. German. In this paper we focus on discourse particles pa and že in (multiple) wh-questions and sluicing. These examples are not only important for our understanding of sluicing but are also crucial for analyzing discourse particles in Slovenian. Based on examples with sluicing and discourse particles in Slovenian, we argue against positioning these particles within the whphrase, clitic cluster or the IP.

Povezovanje hierarhije pridevnikov v samostalniški zvezi in kognicije
Franc Marušič, Petra Mišmaš, 2018, published scientific conference contribution

Abstract: V prispevku predstavljamo tri eksperimente, s katerimi smo želeli preveriti, ali se hierarhija funkcijskih projekcij odraža tudi v nejezikovnih kognitivnih procesih. T. i. kartografski pristop v jezikoslovju trdi, da obstajajo v naravnem človeškem jeziku univerzalne hierarhije funkcijskih elementov, ki se pojavijo nad leksikalnimi jedri, kakršno je na primer samostalniško jedro samostalniške besedne zveze, ob tem pa je (ob samem določanju hierarhij) eno izmed osrednjih vprašanj tega pristopa ravno, od kod te hierarhije izvirajo, gl. npr. Cinque in Rizzi (2008). V eksperimentih se osredotočamo na univerzalno hierarhijo funkcijskih projekcij, ki ob samostalniškem jedru gostijo pridevnike, konkretno na funkcijske projekcije za pridevnike, ki izražajo koncepte barve, oblike in velikosti. Ti se v samostalniški zvezi običajno pojavijo v zaporedju VELIKOST > OBLIKA > BARVA.
