This paper aims to understand the syntax of causative constructions in Sason Arabic. We show that in geminate causatives and ‘give’-causatives, the causee is introduced in CauseeP, unlike the embedded agent in ‘make’-causatives, which embed a thematic VoiceP. Despite differing from Voice0 in several respects, Causee0 also exhibits an active-passive-like alternation, providing independent evidence for Legate’s (2014) analysis of the passive. We further distinguish between geminates and ‘give’-causatives on the basis of the (in)compatibility of the causee with an applicative argument. In geminates, Causee and Appl are bundled, and the same argument bears two T-roles, whereas in other causative constructions, Causee and Appl remain separate.

Patient-voice clauses within the symmetric voice sys-tem of Balinese disallow any extraction from the external-argument position, while definite external arguments are blocked from occurring altogether. The former fact is traditionally taken as evidence for syntactic ergativity in Austronesian. The latter fact has recently been argued to provide evidence for postsyn-tactic case licensing via adjacency with the verb. In this article, we offer a simple alternative explanation for the in-situ properties of patient-voice agents in Balinese—one that does not make reference to case. We argue that patient-voice heads come with a feature that triggers removal of the external argument’s DP shell, resulting in the loss of a determiner and a category-D feature that would otherwise enable extraction.

SCOPE FREEZING AND OBJECT SHIFT IN UKRAINIAN: DOES SUPERIORITY MATTER? Svitlana Antonyuk & Roksolana Mykhaylyk This remark presents novel evidence on Ukrainian Specificity-inducing Object Shift in its interaction with Quantifier Scope, which suggests a generalization that whatever scope interpretations are established in the postverbal field will carry over into the preverbal field. We point out that the data present a serious challenge to the Superiority account of scope freezing (Bruening 2001) since it predicts that Object Shift of a QP will always freeze scope with respect to another object QP, contrary to fact. Furthermore, while Ukrainian OS does not obey Holmberg’s Generalization (Holmberg 1986), we argue that it is nevertheless fully comparable to Scandinavian OS. We propose to account for the data with a modified version of Fox and Pesetsky’s (2005) Cyclic Linearization, which accounts for the cross-linguistic differences with respect to OS as well as derives the peculiar OS QP scope interaction patterns we observe, which remain obscure on the Superiority account of scope freezing.
