Horizons

import Linglib.Syntax.Minimalist.Locality.Horizon · namespace Minimalist

A probe's search stops at a head of its horizon category: what that head c-commands, its complement, is beyond the probe's reach. A horizon is thus the cut Transfer makes, the complements of a set of heads, indexed by the probe and its category rather than by the stage of the derivation.

Main definitions

  • Minimalist.horizon: the positions behind the horizon of a category for the probe at a position.

Main results

  • Minimalist.horizon_eq_sealed: a horizon is the cut of the complements of the horizon heads the probe c-commands, transferred at every stage.
