“…In finite clauses, the adjectival predicate can appear in short or long form (6a). Much debate continues to this day surrounding both the derivational and interpretational discrepancies of the two variants, and the source of the instrumental case marking of the long form (see Chvany 1975;Nichols 1981;Babby 1985;Franks 1995;Bailyn 2001;Madariaga 2007;Pereltsvaig 2007;Matushansky 2008Matushansky , 2010Grashchenkov 2018). Analytical passive constructions employ passive participles, which appear in the short form and can be interpreted as either dynamic or stative; the long form supports only the stative interpretation of the passive construction, or signals conversion of the passive participle into an adjective (6b In infinitival clauses, adjectival and passive predicates take different forms in subjectand object-control configurations.…”

“…Long form adjectives/passive participles in predicative position have a more articulated structure. We adopt the hypothesis argued for in Bailyn (2001Bailyn ( , 2012, Madariaga (2007), Matushansky (2008Matushansky ( , 2010, Grashchenkov (2018), which identifies instrumental case assignment in adjectival predicates with the functional head Pred (which take an adjectival/participial phrase as their complement) and introduces the subject DP as the external argument. We assume Graschchenkov's (2018) approach to long forms of adjectives (and participles) as involving an additional functional layer, adjP, which introduces the unvalued uninterpretable case feature into the adjectival/participial constituent.…”

This article addresses locality conditions on Negative Concord (NC) in Russian. We examine long-distance licensing of “negative” ni-pronouns in subject- and object-control infinitives. Existing theories of negative concord rely in one way or another on the movement of negative concord items (NCI): either as a direct licensing condition, or as a prerequisite for entering a local configuration with the licensor. Consequently, theories predict that ni-pronoun movement to the matrix clause (i.e., the local domain of the matrix licensor) would increase acceptability of ni-licensing. Using experimental data, we explore various linear positions available for ni-pronouns in the matrix clause and in embedded infinitival clauses. We show that movement is not required for long-distance licensing, and that derived positions of ni-pronouns are independent of ni-licensing. We argue that although ni-licensing and movement both obey locality constraints, they differ as to the type of locality required. This article presents evidence for recent proposals that movement and agreement have different properties with respect to locality constraints.

Adjectival predicates in finite and non-finite clauses

The paper explores the distribution of various adjectival predicates (short form adjectives, long form adjectives in the nominative or instrumental case and passive participles) in Russian finite and non-finite clauses. Two factors turn out to determine the availability of adjectival predicates: (i) the type of the subject (overt DP vs. A-trace vs. PRO) and (ii) the case feature of the subject (nominative vs. other cases). Crucially, adjectival predicates differ as to the licensing factors: short form adjectives require that their subject (overt DP, A-trace or PRO) be nominative whereas nominative long form adjectives are only licit if their subject is a nominative overt DP or an A-trace of a nominative DP, but not a (nominative) PRO. Including adjectival passive into this picture gives rise to further discrepancies: the long form of the passive participle cannot form a passive predicate of a finite clause but is licit as such a predicate in non-finite clauses. The paper provides a formal analysis of the distribution of adjectival predicates, which relies on the following assumptions: (i) the categorial contrast of short and long forms; (ii) the syntactically represented opposition of control and raising; and (iii) PRO’s ability to receive the case feature via case assignment by complementizer or case transmission from the controller.
