Syntax for lu #22

Open lynn opened 2 years ago

lynn commented 2 years ago

Here is some current output for "lu hıo hóa súq ky jí ka":

Some thoughts:

I don't think the labeling around lu … ky is right (should V at the top of the moved subtree be V', VP?).
Currently lu wraps a CP, and in fact zugaı permits "lu la hıo hóa…" with non-null C — how do we feel about this? (I think it might be OK)
I should coindex hóa with the subject of the lu verb (here jí).

If ky is a head (https://github.com/toaq/zugai/issues/10), then the moved constituent should be labeled kyP aka V_FP.

Allowing lu la feels off to me. I would prefer any of the following: 1) say that C must be the null allomorph when next to lu (some kind of agreement). I believe you suggested this the other day. 2) find a different explanation which puts lu in C 3) delete lu
