Of specific curiosity to morphologists and syntacticians Issues in Morphosyntax goals to give a contribution to the dialogue at the query even if there exists a separate morphological module within the grammar, specified from the opposite modules, with specified specialize in the relationship of morphology with syntax. The view that's defended is that morphological operations don't happen in syntax, yet that they're ruled by way of an analogous rules that govern syntax. There are morphological different types exact from syntactic different types, which seem of their personal area, lower than the 0 X-bar point, so during this experience there's a morphological module. in spite of the fact that, this module isn't really special from the syntactic one, within the experience that an analogous ideas observe both to the morphological and the syntactic area. particular issues of dialogue contain Noun Incorporation, earlier participle buildings in Germanic (passives, perfects, and auxiliary choice) and Lexical Integrity results.

This type of NI will henceforth be referred to as argument NI. 11'12 32 ISSUES IN MORPHOSYNTAX If the difference between argument NI and modifier NI is just a difference in the structural position in which the noun is generated, there is no reason to expect a language to allow only one type or the other. 4 below), I will argue in chapter 5 that in Dutch, indeed, the noun can either be the verb's internal argument or be a modifier (compare also the discussion on the interpretation of the noun in English synthetic compounds in Lieber 1983:268-269, Spencer 1991:324 ff.
The head movement analysis for NI provides such an explanation in an elegant and principled way. It is a well-known fact that there are asymmetries with respect to the acceptabil ity of extraction out of direct objects on the one hand and out of subjects and adjuncts on the other (cf. Huang's (1982) Condition on Extraction Domains). Thus, if an incorporated noun is moved out of the NP with which it is associated, incorporated nouns linked to subjects or adjuncts are not expected to be found, as extraction out of such constituents is barred.
This is not so with merger. Merger does not result in the saturation of any of the 0- NOUN INCORPORATION 51 roles involved. All Θ-roles of the constituent predicates of a complex predicate must be assigned, whether they are merged or not (cf. also Neeleman 1994:114). In the remainder of this section I will argue that these ©-theoretic principles explain the locality of NI, given the morphological analysis for NI outlined above. In the next chapter it will be shown that the same principles also play an important role in some different morphosyntactic constructions.
