%0 Conference Proceedings %B West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics %D 2018 %T A Dual Theory of Roots: Evidence from Gender-marking Languages %A Ivona Kučerová %A Adam Szczegielniak %X We propose that roots are not homogeneous when it gets to their syntactic features. While some roots don't have any syntactic features from the lexicon, other roots do. This distinction has consequences for derivational timing and properties of the extended functional domain. We argue that it also has consequences for our typology of features. %B West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics %I Cascadilla Press %C Calgary, Alberta %P 232-241 %G eng %U http://www.lingref.com/cpp/wccfl/35/abstract3394.html
