Dislocated topics in hostile environments

This project is done in collaboration with Pilar Barbosa.  We are investigating the distribution of dislocated topics vs. canonical DP subjects in various wh-structures, in French.  Joe Rodd is assisting with the implementation of an on-line grammaticality judgement test based on audio stimuli.

The results have now been accepted for publication in Glossa, in a paper entitled "Intervention effects in wh-chains: the combined effect of syntax and processing"
