Synopsis "remnant raising and vso clausal architecture"

san lucas quiaviní zapotec, an endangered and little-examined indigenous language of mexico, shows a range of syntactic and morphological phenomena incompatible with standard minimalist accounts of verb movement: verbs and clearly phrasal constituents behave identically in a number of syntactic constructions, and the ordering of verbal morphemes is problematic for standard assumptions of verbal head movement. this work proposes a vp-remnant raising account for these phenomena, motivated by kayne?s (1992) antisymmetry program. this work also examines consequences of phrasal remnant movement for negation constructions, question formation; and the interpretation of tense, aspect, and mood.
