Two structures for numeral-noun constructions (2012, background): “…emerged: according to one view (see e.g., Franks, 1994; Giusti, 1997, 2002; Kayne, 2010), numerals are specifiers of a functional projection dominating NP, an approach adopted and elaborated on in much of the work on the cartography of functional projections within the noun phrase (Cinque, 2005).”
Restricting noun incorporation: root movement (2007, background): “This inverse property, which Svenonius (2007) calls 321 (as opposed to first merge 123), is a topic of much current debate and discussion ( Cinque 1999, 2005, Rackowski and Travis 2000, Svenonius (2007), Massam 2006, Compton and Pittman 2006).”
The Cartography of Syntactic Structures (2009, background): “2007, Frascarelli and Puglielli to appear, among others), of the core functional structure of the clause (Cinque 1999, 2006; Shlonsky 1997, 2000; Sigurðsson 2000; Cardinaletti 2004; Schweikert 2005; Bianchi 2006; and, for its relevance for computational linguistics, Chesi 2005), of the DP (Cinque…”
Verb Clusters, Verb Raising, and Restructuring (2007, background): “For a comparison of the two types of parasitic participle constructions see Wurmbrand (2010, 2012a, b). allel to Abels and Neeleman’s (2012) recasting of Cinque (2005) theory of Greenberg's Universal 20.”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, result): “[DPM] Cinque, G. (2013) Cognition, universal grammar, and typological generalizations.”
Delayed Valuation: A Reanalysis of Goal Features, “Upward” Complementizer Agreement, and the Mechanics of Case (2016, background): “See Cinque 2005 and Shlonsky 2004 for an alternative view, and Carstens 2011b for a rejoinder, analyzing adnominal modifiers as XPs. Note also the absence of “deactivation” since agreement here does not involve Case features; see §3.6.4 and Carstens 2010, 2011a. 2010, 2011 I propose that concord is…”
DP-internal semantic agreement: A configurational analysis (2016, background): “Some terminological confusion is caused by the fact that studies of Greenberg’s Universal 20 routinely refer to the projection of cardinals as NumP (e.g., Cinque 2005, Steddy and Vieri 2011, Abels and Neeleman 2012).”
Gender and Number in Romance (2008, background): “To do so, the syntactic object c must merge with number, hosted in a superordinate functional projection (see section 4) and, subsequently, with a phonologically null or an overt Determiner, among other possible functional elements (see Cinque, 2005).”
