SIL talk: Chris Collins

Speaker: Chris Collins (NYU)

Title: A Merge-Based Approach to Argument Structure

Time/Location: 4-5 pm CET, Ms Teams

Abstract

This talk outlines the Merge-based approach to argument structure developed in Collins 2024 (updating, defending and extending Collins 2005). The predictions of the Merge-based theory of implicit arguments will be compared to the predictions made by non-Merge based theories, such as Bruening 2013.
