East Cree Relative Root Complements as Criterial Sisters (with Julie Brittain)

A recent draft of a paper on where Algonquian relative root complements appear in a clause, how this is ensured by the labelling theory, and how this patterns with quotative inversion.

Macroparameter Learnability: An Algonquian Case Study

This is an early draft of a paper which has now turned into something considerably larger, i.e. a book on multiple head-movement which appeared in 2023. Much has changed in my theoretical analysis of these constructions in the meantime. I am keeping it available here because people have cited it in this earlier incarnation.
