• Morphosyntactic processing in advanced second language (L2) learners: An event-related potential investigation of the effects of L1–L2 similarity and structural distance (2014, background): “While interpretable features make a semantic contribution to the interpretation of a lexical item, uninterpretable features are purely syntactic in nature (Pesetsky and Torrego, 2007).”
• Gender and Number in Romance (2008, background): “…feature realized in more than one syntactic location, functional and lexical, also obtains between the [TENSE] feature in T and its correlate in V. Pesetsky and Torrego (2004) point out that the interpretable [TENSE] feature in T Agrees with, and is valued by, a correlated feature instance…”
• The Origin and Content of Expletives: Evidence from “Selection” (2009, positive): “(In order for two elements to agree in a feature without valuing it, we will need to employ a distinction between valuation and interpretation along the lines of Pesetsky and Torrego 2004.”
• Encoding the addressee in the syntax: evidence from English imperative subjects (2008, background): “However, differing from Pesetsky and Torrego (2007), I also assume that the person features on the target (the subject) are interprétable.”
• Agreement and DP-Internal Feature Distribution (2011, background): “Frampton & Gutmann (2006), as well as Pesetsky & Torrego (2007), argue for a view of Agree as a feature sharing operation, which uni es two feature occurrences into two instances of one shared formal object.”
