In this paper, I propose that Croatian relative clauses (RCs) introduced by the complementizer to 'what/that' do not form a homogeneous class with respect to their derivation: some are derived by movement, and some are derived by a non-movement strategy. Unless the relativized element is the subject, sto-RCs normally require a resumptive pronoun to appear in the site of relativization. However, this requirement is removed under morphological case matching between the head of the RC and the resumptive pronoun: the resumptive pronoun, may be omitted if the pronounced head of the RC, case-marked in the matrix clause, appears in the morpho-phonological form that it would have if it were case-marked by the embedded predicate. I argue that the absence of a resumptive pronoun in a sto-RC indicates that the RC is derived by movement. I propose that the matching analysis of RCs (Bhatt 2002; Citko 2001; Hulsey and Sauerland 2006; Sauerland 1998, 2002), coupled with a version of the Inverse Case Filter (Boskovic 1997, 2002; Martin 1999) and a particular view of inverse (case) attraction offers a natural explanation for why such sto-RCs may receive a movement analysis only if the matching requirement is satisfied.

The use of verbal morphology in Turkish as a third language: The case of Russian-English-Turkish trilinguals
Antonova-Unlu, Elena; Sağın Şimşek, Sultan Çiğdem (SAGE Publications, 2015-06-01)
Aims and Objectives: Several studies suggest that third language acquisition (TLA) is marked with complex patterns of language interaction. However, it is not clear yet to what extent multilinguals activate each of their background languages in TLA, as various factors may trigger the activation of one of the previously learnt languages. This study aims to contribute to the discussion by examining the use of verbal morphology in third language (L3) Turkish of Russian-English-Turkish trilinguals. We investiga...
Morphosyntax of movement dependencies in Haitian Creole
Takahashi, Shoichi; Gracanın Yüksek, Martına (Wiley, 2008-08-01)
In Haitian Creole the lexical item ki shows up when a subject (but not an object) undergoes operator movement in wh‐questions, clefts, and relative clauses. We argue that ki is a phonological reflex of agreement between the complementizer and a wh‐phrase. More specifically, the complementizer is spelled out as ki if all its features are checked off by a single goal. We demonstrate that this is accomplished only when the operator is a subject.
CLITICS THAT DON'T CLIMB
Gracanın Yüksek, Martına (Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics, 2019-01-01)
In this article the behavior of clitics in subject- versus object-control infinitival constructions is explained by arguing that the two constructions have different structures. I argue that object-control infinitival constructions arc CPs, and are therefore structurally richer than subject-control infinitival constructions, which are TPs and do not involve a CP projection. This results in different behavior of the clititcs in the two configurations.
An inter-annotator agreement measurement methodology for the Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB)
Yalçınkaya, Şaban İhsan; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2010)
In the TDB[1]-like corpora annotation efforts, which are constructed by the intuitions of the annotators, the reliability of the corpus can only be determined via correct interannotator agreement measurement methodology (Artstein, & Poesio, 2008). In this thesis, a methodology was defined to measure the inter-annotator agreement among the TDB annotators. The statistical tests and the agreement coefficients that are widely used in scientific communities, including Cochran’s Q test (1950), Fleiss’ Kappa (1971...
On decoding interleaved reed-solomon codes
Yayla, Oğuz; Özbudak, Ferruh; Department of Cryptography (2011)
Probabilistic simultaneous polynomial reconstruction algorithm of Bleichenbacher-Kiayias-Yung is extended to the polynomials whose degrees are allowed to be distinct. Furthermore, it is observed that probability of the algorithm can be increased. Specifically, for a finite field $\F$, we present a probabilistic algorithm which can recover polynomials $p_1,\ldots, p_r \in \F[x]$ of degree less than $k_1,k_2,\ldots,k_r$, respectively with given field evaluations $p_l(z_i) = y_{i,l}$ for all $i \in I$, $
