Questions: Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology What is this talk about? Questions: What are the syntactic and semantic properties of control constructions? Integration in terms of „(in)coherence“, predicate classes involved, etc. What is the proper syntactic and semantic analysis? Microtypological aspect: How do control constructions work in other German dialects? What are the „minimal units of syntactic variation“ (Kayne 1996: xiii)? Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology A short note on the empirical base Vorarlberg and the surrounding areas: Vorarlberg is the westernmost province of Austria; only part where Alemannic dialects are spoken (as opposed to the rest of Austria with Southern or Central Bavarian varieties) More speakers (≈ inhabitants) than Icelandic: 368.000 as opposed to 320.00 Very interesting region for studying (spatial) variation: Transitional zone between High Alemannic (Switzerland) and other Alemannic varieties (e.g. „Lake Alemannic“, Swabian) as well as (Austrian) Bavarian. Dialect use in Vorarlberg (cf. Jochum 1999: 40–50): medial diglossia in a somewhat weakened form.

Bucheli and Glaser (2002); Bucheli Berger (2008); Glaser (2006). 2 Questionnaires of the Wenker survey that were sent out all over Austria in the 1920s and 1930s. Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology A short note on the empirical base 3 Transcribed sound recordings of the Tonarchivs der Mundarten Vorarlbergs („sound archive of the Vorarlberg dialects“), which were started in the context of the Deutsches Spracharchiv (DSAv), but were mostly conducted to supplement the Linguistic Atlas of Vorarlberg (VALTS), cf. Ruoff (2004); Ruoff and Gabriel (1998). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Complementation types The status of zum Syntactic properties of control predicates Control predicates occur with quite different topological structures: Either fully extraposed (2) or with the so-called third construction (cf. Wöllstein-Leisten 2001), see (3). In both cases, marking with zu ‚to‘ is optional. (2) I hon vrgässa a Karta (z) koofa (VA) I have forgotten a ticket to buy (3) I hon a Karta vrgässa (z) koofa I have a ticket forgotten to buy „I have forgotten to buy a ticket.“ j The third construction and, crucially, even the fully extraposed variant shows clear signs of coherence (see in particular Reis 2007 w. r. t. drohen ‚threaten‘ and versprechen ‚promise‘). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Complementation types The status of zum Syntactic properties of control predicates Argument for mono-clausality of the third construction (among many others, see e. g. Wöllstein-Leisten 2001): long passive (4) ?weil die wichtige Brief vergesse wore sind [ti lese] because the important letters forget were are read „because they forgot to read the important letters“ (passive) (Brandner 2006: 332, ex. (90a.)) j The DP die wichtige Brief ‚the important letters‘ agrees in number with the matrix verb (which is a clear sign of case conversion). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Complementation types The status of zum Syntactic properties of control predicates Conversely, there is also a construction type with the complementizer zum, which at least projects a CP and thus must be taken as evidence for the incoherent construction: (5) I han vrgeässo zum a Karto koufo. I have forgotten COMP a ticket buy „I have forgotten to buy a ticket“ (ID 77, 69/m: Lustenau) (6) dass sie mir verbota häat zum däs Buch leasa, that she me-DAT forbidden has COMP that book read ischt scho allerhand. is quite something „It’s quite something that she has forbidden me to read this book“ (ID 38, 77/m: Hohenems) Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Complementation types The status of zum Syntactic properties of control predicates The categorial status of zum Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Complementation types The status of zum Syntactic properties of control predicates The categorial status of zum The complementizer zum (consisting of the preposition zu and a contracted form of a dative determiner dem) usually occurs with purposive clauses like (7) and thus behaves like a typical Co -element In this context, it functions more or less like SG um . . . zu. (7) a. I bruuch s Auto, zum d Lea ufa Bahnhof tua b. Ich brauche das Auto, um Lea zum Bahnhof zu bringen „I need the car to drive Lea to the railway station“ Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Complementation types The status of zum Syntactic properties of control predicates The categorial status of zum The complementizer zum (consisting of the preposition zu and a contracted form of a dative determiner dem) usually occurs with purposive clauses like (7) and thus behaves like a typical Co -element In this context, it functions more or less like SG um . . . zu. (7) a. I bruuch s Auto, zum d Lea ufa Bahnhof tua b. Ich brauche das Auto, um Lea zum Bahnhof zu bringen „I need the car to drive Lea to the railway station“ The use of zum as a complementizer must not be confused with the allomorphic variant of ’z used especially by younger speakers: (8) a. aa-zum-fanga b. ab-zum-schniida Oliver Schallert (Marburg) (lit. on-to-catch„begin“) (lit. off-to-cut „cut off“) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Complementation types The status of zum Semantic properties of control predicates Predicate classes: Semantic classification of control predicates in VA, mainly after Wurmbrand (2001) and Stiebels (2010). Class Examples aspectual aafanga ‚begin‘, uufhöra ‚stop‘, khoo ‚come‘ vrgässa „forget“, si traua ‚dare, have the guts to‘ zwinga „force“, vrbiata ‚forbid‘ probiera ‚try‘, im Sinn hoo ‚intend‘, verschschpreha ‚promise‘ implicative influence p. irrealis a Frequency of zum a 3 17, 9 7 19 n = 95 (Questionnaire 1), n = 87 (Questionnaire 2). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Predicate classes Event coherence Semantic properties of control predicates VA does not allow infinitival complements (irrespective of whether zum ist present or not) under factive and propositional verbs (a finite clause is fine, though): (9) a. *Är bereut, (zum) des Buach überhaupt gläsa hoo. „He regretted having read this book.“ b. *Sie isch stolz (druuf), (zum) ian kenna. „She is proud to know him.“ c. *Är hot behauptat, (zum) se kenna. „He claimed knowing her.“ See Brandner (2006: 211–213) for similar observations on „Lake Alemannic“. Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Predicate classes Event coherence Semantic properties of control predicates Event coherence (Stiebels 2010: 414): „integration of two subevents to a coherent event“ Easy test is to check for independent local or temporal modification in the SOA. With e. g. commissive or directive predicates like versprechen „promise“ or bitten „ask“, this property is lifted: (10) Sie hat mir gestern versprochen, heute das neue She has me-DAT yesterday promised today the new Betriebssystem zu installieren. operating system to install „Yesterday, she promised me to install the new OS today.“ (Stiebels 2010: 423, ex. (70)) Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Predicate classes Event coherence Semantic properties of control predicates Most predicates that allow embedding of an infinitive in VA need to fulfill this restriction (there are exceptions, however: e. g. verschschpreha ‚promise‘) Event coherence can be used as a conceptual argument against a functionally enriched structure of control complements (e. g. in terms of a TP). Also note that zu ‚to‘ (as already discussed by Bech 1955: 15) is a inflectional element and does not function like a To -head. The same applies to its Alemannic counterpart z. (11) a. Er versuchte gleichzeitig [ zu essen und *(zu) trinken] b. He tried to [ eat and drink at the same time] c. anzufangen; angefangen Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis Control predicates either project a CP/VP-structure (zum-variant), as is independently assumed for German (e. g. Haider 2010, Wöllstein 2008) or they are bare VP-complements (see in particular Brandner 2006 on Lake Alemannic). Semantically, the coherent variant can best be analyzed in terms of unification of θ-grids. (12) [CP I hon [VP vrgässa [CP zum [VP a Karta koofa]]]] (13) [CP I hon [VP vrgässa [VP a Karta koofa]]] Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis Unification of θ-grids Quite different implementations on the market, e. g. in Categorial Grammar (Jacobs 1992, Williams 2003), HPSG (Kiss 1995, Müller 2002) or representational variants of GB/Minimalism (Haider 1994, 2001, Sternefeld 2009: ch. 9). Often too restrictive (which is not a bad thing): Certain assumptions have to be modified: e. g. the role of zu or the strict adjacency requirement (e. g. Haider 1993: 267). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis What is necessary for unification, what isn’t? The presence of z’ ‚zu‘ is not necessary for unification, although it can appear optionally. This can be taken as evidence for its status as a redundant element (Brandner 2008) or – with regard to SG – the existence of different types of zu (Wöllstein and Rapp 2009: 173). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis What is necessary for unification, what isn’t? The presence of z’ ‚zu‘ is not necessary for unification, although it can appear optionally. This can be taken as evidence for its status as a redundant element (Brandner 2008) or – with regard to SG – the existence of different types of zu (Wöllstein and Rapp 2009: 173). Neither is strict adjacency (clustering) necessary for unification; however, there are clear directionality effects, see below.

Neither is strict adjacency (clustering) necessary for unification; however, there are clear directionality effects, see below. Unified theta grids need to correspond to the ones of a simple verb (Kiss 1995: 215 or Wöllstein-Leisten 2001: 198): yes, although there are some problems with Standard German (Müller 2002: 64–67). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis Directionality matters: The control predicate helfen ‚help‘ allows for both left- and right-branching serializations. Crucially, only with the right-branching pattern, nonverbal interveners are allowed, cf. (14)–(15). This asymmetry is well-known for uncontroversial cluster constructions (see e. g. Wurmbrand 2004, Sapp 2011: 124–128). (14) Er hot gholfa dr Mama abwäscha. He has helped the mother wash up (15) Er hot dr Mama abwäscha (*dr Mama) gholfa He has the mother wash up the mother helped „He helped his mother doing the washing up.“ Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis How to handle control? (16) Definition of obligatory control (OC) (Stiebels 2007: 13) OC applies to structures in which a predicate P1 selects an SOA-argument and requires one of its (individual) arguments to be (improperly) included in the set of referents of an argument of the embedded predicate P2 heading the SOA-argument. [Xi P1 (Yj ) [SOA Zk P2 . . . ]] with k ∩ {i, j} 6= ∅ Theory-neutral definition of control that abstracts away from the question whether the control reading is obtained either structurally or semantically/lexically. Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis Derivational approaches to control like the Movement theory of control (e. g. Boeckx and Hornstein 2004, Boeckx, Hornstein, and Nunes 2010) don’t fare that well when it comes to dealing with the Alemannic data; semantic or selectional theories of control (e. g. Sag and Pollard 1991, Jackendoff and Culicover 2003) seem to work fine. For the sake of illustration, I will mention just one empirical argument against the MTC; a more thorough discussion can be found in Kiss (2005). Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Unification Control Analysis According to the MTC, passivation of an object control predicate with a lexical dative argument should induce a control shift: (17) wel dr Klausj am Hansi vrbota hot [SOA because the Klaus the=DAT Hans forbidden has ∅i/*j (zum) des Buach läsa] COMP this book read „because Klaus forbid Hans to read the book“ (18) wel am Hansi vom Klausj vrbota because the-DAT Hans from=the-DAT Klaus forbidden wora isch, [SOA ∅i/*j (zum) des Buach läsa ] was is COMP this book read „because Klaus was forbidden (by Hans) to read this book“ Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Microtypology Typological complexity of (potential) control predicates: Orientierung ‚orientation‘ (cf. Bech 1955): Is control the only option? Is a SOA-argument even possible? If yes, how closely is it integrated? Morpho-syntactic factors: Auxiliary selection, marking of the SOA-argument Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Microtypology Typological complexity of (potential) control predicates: Orientierung ‚orientation‘ (cf. Bech 1955): Is control the only option? Is a SOA-argument even possible? If yes, how closely is it integrated? Morpho-syntactic factors: Auxiliary selection, marking of the SOA-argument. I will concentrate on this question. Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Microtypology Case study on phasals (e. g. anfangen ‚begin‘) What is interesting about this verb class is that it can show both raising (19) and control patterns (20). What is more, there are diverging positions as to whether these predicates allow the incoherent construction (e. g. Müller 2002, Reis 2007, Reis and Sternefeld 2004). (19) Ihm fing an [SOA schlecht zu werden ] Him-DAT began sick to become „He began to feel sick.“ (20) Eri fing an, [SOA ∅i seine Unterlagen zu sortieren]. He began his papers to sort „He began to sort his papers“ Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Microtypology Infinitive prominence (Mayerthaler et al. 1993; 1995: Does the respective dialect even allow embedding of an infinitive? (21) Wenn es zu schneien anfängt, . . . If it to snow begins (22) Wann-s s Schnaim an fangd, . . . If=it the snowing starts (Donhauser 1989: 90–91, Bsp.

(ID 62, 67/w: Gaißau) Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Microtypology Phasals pattern with other control verbs (see this talk) in that they allow the whole spectrum of infinitival complementation: zu-less infinitives, third construction, incoherent zum-introduced clauses The zum-variant is clear evidence against Reis’ (2007: 48–49, Fn. 28) that all phase predicates (including drohen „threaten“ and versprechen „promise“ construe obligatorily coherent! Oliver Schallert (Marburg) Control predicates in Alemannic: Syntax and Semantics Empirical base Syntax Semantics Analysis Microtypology Summary In Alemannic (and other parts of Upper German), complements of control predicates can occur without zu-marking; such predicates show clear signs of coherence (in terms of syntactic integration), although there is also an incoherent variant available (zum-introduced ICs). There are clear restrictions as to which predicates allow for an embedded infinitive (no factive and propositional verbs); event coherence also seems to play an important role. It is not clear how derivational theories of control are able to account for basic control facts in VA (e. g. passivation of object control verbs like verbiate ‚forbid‘ or zwinga ‚force‘). From a microtypological perspective, there are interesting areal contrast to be observed (and tough nuts to crack) in the (other) German dialects.
