Additional information
This is a revised and expanded version of McCloskey and Hale (1983). Much of the work reported on here was done while McCloskey was a Visiting Scientist in the Centre for Cognitive Science at MIT. We had the opportunity of discussing the material in a seminar on the syntax of Irish held at MIT in the Fall of 1982, at the NELS Meeting in Montréal in November of 1982, and at the University of Texas in December of 1982. Thanks to all these audiences for their criticisms and help. We have also had the benefit of comments from Steve Harlow, from Breandán Ó Buachalla and from a number of reviewers. We owe a particular debt of gratitude to John Armstrong. Mistakes and shortcomings remain, of course, our own responsibility.
