Citations in the corpus
- Restricting noun incorporation: root movement (2007, methodology): “This approach prefigures the syntactic account proposed here, and also in Massam (2001) , wherein the noun is base-generated or merged in its position as sister to the verb, and subsequently moved to another position.”
- Morphological and Abstract Case (2008, background): “(See, for example, Baker 1988 on the lack of Case on incorporated nouns and Massam 2001 on the lack of Case on pseudoincorporated NPs.) Thus, these nominals trigger agreement without bearing nominative Case or raising to Spec,T, simply on the basis of closest c-command.”
- A SEMANTICS FOR PSEUDO INCORPORATION (2003, background): “The status of this feature in incorporation is controversial, as shown by the debate between Sadock (1980, 1986) and Mithun (1984, 1986). Even though resistance to discourse anaphora is not cross-linguistically stable, it does appear to be relevant to incorporation in at least some languages that ha”
- Bare nouns, number and types of incorporation (2006, methodology): “We have argued that bare singulars in Spanish and Romanian are syntactically pseudo-incorporated ( Massam 2001 ), in the sense that they must remain within VP throughout the syntactic derivation; semantically they are interpreted as predicate modifiers.”
- Pseudo Noun Incorporation as Covert Noun Incorporation: Linearization and Crosslinguistic Variation (2014, background): “Massam (2001) shows that instrumental and means nominals sometimes undergo PNI in Niuean, but she does not go into much detail about this construction, and neither will I. Hungarian allows not only transitive subjects but even various obliques to ‘incorporate’; this is some reason for doubting that…”
