A timing approach to escape-hatch dependencies

Key Points

• This research aims to derive minimality and locality effects through an alternative modeling of syntactic structure.
• Model syntactic structure as asymmetric relations between atomic objects in a memory stack.
• Reformulate constraints like Relativized Minimality and Condition on Extraction Domain within this new framework.
• Achieve broader empirical coverage in linguistic phenomena.
• Demonstrates a natural reformulation of key syntactic constraints within the proposed model.
• Achieves broader empirical coverage compared to traditional recursive structures.
• Shows that hierarchy serves as an organizing principle of syntax more effectively.
