It is argued that both ще and да are modal particles marking specific types of verbal mood. They are connected with the verb in a zone between morphology (lexicon) and syntax, namely through the process of VCF. This also holds for the clitic auxiliaries within perfect tense formation. Furthermore, the Complementizer Phrase (CP) is assumed to be the place where existential quantification of the predicate’s event variable is marked in syntax (going hand in hand with existential presupposition). Да-expressions are analyzed as Modal Phrases (ModPs) lacking a CP layer, from which it can be concluded that there is no existential presupposition. It is assumed that the latter takes place only on the level of Conceptual Structure due to extragrammatical factors such as the speaker’s world knowledge. This approach can explain the interpretational differences between че-sentences and да-expressions. Also, a lexicalist way of accounting for the different selectional properties of matrix predicates is presented."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s11185-010-9059-2"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7637"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/60431"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1572-8714"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Seminar für Slavische Philologie"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","100"],["dc.title","Complex verbs between syntax and morphology in Bulgarian"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The point of departure is the observation – in German and Slavic languages – that there exists an asymmetry in the complexity of subordinating elements in complement and adverbial clauses: While the former feature simplex complementizers, i.e. heads, the latter to a large extent feature complex prepositional phrases in addition to the adverbial CP. Sense can be made of this observation if adverbial clauses exhibit a structure {PP, CP} in the specifier-less framework of Chomsky (2013). The labeling algorithm suggested in that work delivers no result, i.e. structure remains exocentric in line with the spirit of suggestions regarding adjuncts more generally (Hornstein & Nunes 2008). The underlying reason for the asymmetry is thus that C-elements must be simplex to ensure that the selected complement clause is properly endowed with a syntactic category. There is no corresponding need for this in (unselected) adverbial clauses, and hence no derivational problem for Merging PP with CP which suppresses the application of the labeling algorithm."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.5334/gjgl.600"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16082"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59904"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Seminar für Slavische Philologie"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","100"],["dc.title","Adverbial clauses: Internally rich, externally null"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
