De Vries (2006 et seq.) addition of par-Merge to the |
|
extant Merger operations utilized by the narrow syntax |
|
provides a means by which to model parataxis and yet |
|
maintain that paratactic constituents (i.e. |
|
parentheticals) are concatenated with their host in the |
|
narrow syntax in the structural position in which they |
|
are observed. A principal ingredient of the par-Merge |
|
approach to parataxis is the functional head Par, which |
|
triggers par-Merge. While Par is often morphologically |
|
realized as a coordinator in English, in certain |
|
parentheticals itis never realized. Its absence lends |
|
credence to par-Merge s alternatives, which demand that |
|
parataxis be modelled semantically rather than |
|
syntactically. In this paper, we provide indirect support |
|
for the par-Merge approach by demonstrating that, in the |
|
Turkish counterparts to those English parentheticals that |
|
never realize Par, Par is realized as the lexeme ki. If |
|
ki is indeed Par s realization in Turkish, one may |
|
stipulate that Par s morphological absence in certain |
|
English constructions does not indicate that par-Merge |
|
must be discarded or even that its |
|
universalityformodellingparataxismustbediminished |
|
itsabsenceindicatesonlythatsomelanguage-specific |
|
constraint prevents Par s realization in certain English |
|
parentheticals. |
