How Much Context Is Enough? Two Cases of Span-Conditioned Stem Allomorphy (2015, background): “…functional projections in the clause, including T Aspect Voice (from Rivero 1990, the first work to my knowledge to have proposed a separate VoiceP) and a separation of Voice from v (following Collins 2005, Harley 2013, Merchant 2013, Alexiadou, Anagnostopoulou, and Schäfer 2014, and many others).”
Adpositions, particles and the arguments they introduce (2007, background): “…is not originally a complement of the adposition but is an argument of the verb, with the adposition being introduced separately (cf. Kayne 2004, Cinque 2002, Collins 2004, where certain Ps are introduced outside VP; or Pesetsky and Torrego 2004, in which certain Ps are introduced inside DP).”
Antisymmetry and the lexicon (2009, background): “Just as agents are sometimes obligatory, e.g. with destroy (on passives, see Collins (2005)), so, sometimes, are possessors, e.g. with for John’s sake, as discussed by Barker (2005), despite John not being either complement or specifier (cf. (21)) of sake.”

Linguistic Analysis of Pretrained Sentence Encoders with Acceptability Judgments (2019, unknown): “175-190), Collins (2005), and Sag et al.”
On Multidominance and Linearization (2009, background): “Apart from that, there are many documented exceptions to the Freezing principle, such as Dutch/German wat voor/was für-splits, wh-movement from a scrambled constituent, or ‘smuggling’ in English (for discussion, see Corver 1990, Müller 1998, and Collins 2005, among others).”
Tough-Constructions and Their Derivation (2009, background): “For raising constructions, though the derivation is more complex (involving remnant movement to derive the correct surface order), Collins (2005a) proposes that the subject is once again moved within the VP containing it, into Spec,vP of the raising verb.”
