Wholesale Late Merger: Beyond the A/ Distinction (2009, background): “…have also been made to explain the facts that motivate parts of the A/A¯ contrast (see Chomsky 1995 for locality, Nissenbaum 2000 for parasitic gap licensing, Fukui 1999 and Kitahara 1997 for the Proper Binding Condition effect, and Ruys 2000 and Sauerland 1998, 2004 for weak crossover phenomena).”
Double Object Constructions Disguised as Prepositional Datives (2010, methodology): “If R-dative shift is identical to the double object construction except in linear order, hierarchical accounts of weak crossover (e.g., Koopman and Sportiche 1983, Safir 1984, 1996, Ruys 2000) would predict (41a–b) to be grammatical, because the trace of the wh-word c-commands the pronoun.”
Rightward Scrambling as Rightward Remnant Movement (2007, background): “Even with variable binding, it has been noted that the exceptions to the surface ccommand requirement have surface c-command of the bound element by a DP that contains the binder QP (see Ruys 2000). There is no such container DP in (6a) and therefore the QP must itself surface-c-command the pronoun ”
On Pied-Piping: Wh-Movement and Beyond (2008, background): “For instance, according to Ruys (2000) weak crossover effects emerge when a wh-phrase takes scope over a pronoun; the notion of scope is primarily semantic.”
