The Department of Linguistics proudly presents Dr. Chris Collins, Professor at the New York University.  Dr. Collins will speak on "A Merge-Based Approach to Argument Structure".

This talk outlines the Merge-based approach to argument structure developed in Collins 2024 (updating, defending and extending Collins 2005).  The predictions of the Merge-based theory of implicit arguments will be compared to the predictions made by non-Merge based theories.
