I’m off to “SALT”:http://ling.northwestern.edu/~salt14/program.html in a couple of hours. I will be presenting joint work with Sabine Iatridou on a previously unnoticed construction:

• To get good ice-cream, you only have to go down to the corner store.

We plan to write up the paper over the summer. For now, there are two handouts: the “SALT handout”:http://web.mit.edu/fintel/www/salt04.pdf, which focuses on the compositional structure of this construction and the “GLOW handout”:http://web.mit.edu/fintel/www/glow04.pdf, which has more cross-linguistic facts and syntactic discussion.
