“…Discussion of P-drop has consistently shown that there is language-specific variation with respect to these aforementioned properties. In London English (Hall 2019), for instance, the goal noun in P-drop contexts must appear without a visible determiner (4), whereas in Ormskirk English (Myler 2013), the determiner must be present on the goal noun (5). As mentioned in section 1, there are two main approaches to P-drop:…”

“…A fourth similarity between P-drop in London English and pseudo-incorporation is the well-establishedness of the goal noun. Hall (2019) shows that the set of possible goal nouns in P-drop is restricted to well-established (i.e., familiar) places ( 14). 6 (14) a.…”

( ￢ >pub; *pub > ￢ ) (Hall 2019: 8) Following Gehrke and Lekakou (2013), Hall (2019) argues that the goal noun in London English is a pseudo-incorporated nominal since it exhibits all properties of PNI objects. For Hall, pseudo-incorporation is a last-resort case-licensing mechanism that allows a structurally reduced nominal to be licensed.…”

The syntax of silent directional prepositions in Jordanian Arabic

In Jordanian Arabic (JA), the complement of some motion verbs optionally appears without a visible preposition in what is known as (P)reposition-drop (Ioannidou and den Dikken 2009). This article offers a detailed description of P-drop in JA, showing that the common properties of P-drop found in languages with P-drop hold in JA. I argue that Gehrke and Lekakou's (2013) pseudo noun incorporation approach to P-drop cannot account for the P-drop facts in JA. I show, through different diagnostics, that the prepositionless noun in JA does not exhibit the typical properties of pseudo-incorporated nouns. Instead, I argue that P-drop in JA involves a full PP–DP structure with a silent P head (Ioannidou and den Dikken 2009, Myler 2013, Biggs 2014, Bailey 2018). The findings of this article add insights to the ongoing debate regarding the underlying mechanisms involved in P-drop.
