Clarification on HW3

On homework #3, this is what I mentioned in the class, but here’s what I had in mind.

This is again kind of a “reading assignment” homework. Read the first part of the Vallduví article that I gave out (what I had in mind is reading up to the end of section 3, p. 133, though you can read sec. 4 about English, or, heck, the rest of the article if you want).

The part to write up is a comparison of the discussion of (15) in Vallduví’s article (p. 129) and the facts about rightward movement discussed on section 2.4 of Thursday’s handout (53-56) in Basque. To do this, you might also look again at section 2.3 of Thursday’s homework about movement to the left in Basque, too. The idea is basically to see what Vallduví was doing in (15) and discuss what this might lead us to expect (or at least check) for Basque examples like those in section 2.4 of the handout.

It doesn’t need to be a long writeup, something like a page.
