Understanding p Nodes vs. Roots by Johnson is a document available to read on EtoBox.
What is Understanding p Nodes vs. Roots about?
- The document discusses the difference between syntactic nodes (p) and morphological roots. - It argues that current approaches that differentiate roots in syntax are sub-optimal and proposes an alternative theory based on a single syntactic node (p) combined with phrasal spellout. - This allows roots to spell out multiple syntactic nodes, distinguishing them from roots in narrow syntax (p) and addressing issues with root suppletion while maintaining a single p theory.
