| Abstract | This article concerns subject‐auxiliary inversion in English. Typically, SAI is triggered by a preposed interrogative or negative constituent (Under what circumstances would you go into the office during the holidays? On no account would I go into the office during the holidays) which is then adjacent to the auxiliary. However, some speakers also accept patterns in which the interrogative or negative trigger for the inversion is non‐adjacent to the inverted auxiliary (Under what circumstances during the holidays would you go into the office? On no account during the holidays would I go into the office). This paper tries to account for this non‐adjacent inversion pattern in the light of the articulated structure of the left periphery of the clause elaborated by Rizzi (1997). |

This article concerns subject-auxiliary inversion (SAI) in English. Typically, SAI is triggered by a preposed interrogative or negative constituent (eg, Under what circumstances would you go into the office during the holidays? On no account would I go into the office during the holidays) which is then adjacent to the auxiliary. However, some speakers also accept patterns in which the interrogative or negative trigger for the inversion is non-adjacent to the inverted auxiliary (Under what circumstances during the holidays would you go into the office? On no account during the holidays would I go into the office). This paper tries to account for this non-adjacent inversion pattern given the articulated structure of the left periphery of the clause elaborated by Luigi Rizzi (1997). Tables, References.

| Notes | ark:/67375/WNG-T877R0ZP-Q ArticleID:TRPS060 This research was part of project 11-33542.92 funded by the Fonds National Suisse de la Recherche Scientifique (1992-1995). An earlier and different version of this paper appeared in GenGenP (1996a). The remainder of the material in that paper will appear as Haegeman (forthcoming). Versions of this paper were presented at my DES seminar at the University of Geneva, at Waseda University (1994), at the Research Seminar of the Linguistics Department in Geneva (1997) and at the Wuppertaler Linguistisches Kolloquium (1997). Thanks to the various audiences for their comments. Special thanks are due to Brent De Chenes and to Richard Waswo for their judgements. Thanks for discussion are due to Brent de Chenes, Dagmar Haumann, Yasuhiko Kato, Christopher Laenzlinger, Gisa Rauh, Paul Rowlett, Ur Shlonsky, Michal Starke, Akira Watanabe and two anonymous readers. Obviously, none of them can be held responsible for the way I have used their comments. istex:B27311F2DB3CE18FDB971A3C79A73DFCAD153323 ObjectType-Article-2 SourceType-Scholarly Journals-1 ObjectType-Feature-1 content type line 14 content type line 23 ObjectType-Article-1 ObjectType-Feature-2 |
