This dissertation investigates nominal and clausal structure in Ch'ol, a Mayan language of southern Mexico. I take as an empirical basis the interpretation of bare nouns and extraction asymmetries in Ch'ol to argue for a base-generated account of verb-initial syntax. I propose that (in)definiteness is reflected structurally, demonstrating that only bare nominals within the VP may receive an indefinite interpretation. Any nominals generated or moved outside of the VP must be definite or take wide scope. I capture this empirical generalization by linking semantic interpretation to syntactic structure. Data on elements which can or cannot be displaced from nominal expressions also bears on underlying syntactic structure. I argue that the islandhood of nominals provides evidence for whether they are contained in a moved constituent. When extraction of an element is possible, it is not in a movement-derived position-having implications for the underlying structure of verb-initial word order. With these conclusions in mind, I support a syntax for VOS word order which is base-generated in Ch'ol. VSO is derived from VOS by moving the object. This analysis offers a straightforward account of the observed semantic properties of nominal arguments and extraction asymmetries. I model how a base-generated account of VOS is derived through linearization rules in the narrow syntax. The syntactic structure argued for here results in testable predictions about the semantic and syntactic properties of nominal arguments in other languages. I conclude that verb-initial languages do not constitute a uniform syntactic class and further investigation into structural dependencies of nominal and clausal syntax can provide us with a window into underlying similarities and differences across languages.

520 $a En esta tesis se investiga la estructura nominal y clausal en ch'ol, una lengua mayense del sur de Mexico, perteneciente a la rama cholana-tseltalana. La interpretacion de los sustantivos escuetos y las asimetrias de extraccion en ch'ol, forman la base empirica para desarrollar un analisis generado por la base (base-generated) de dichos datos hacia una sintaxis de verbo-inicial. Se propone que la (in)definitud esta reflejada en la estructura sintactica, lo cual demuestra que solo los nominales escuetos que estan dentro de la frase verbal pueden tener una interpretacion indefinida. Cualquier nominal generado o desplazado fuera de la frase verbal tiene que ser definido, o bien, puede tomar un alcance amplio con respecto a otros elementos cuantificacionales. Se captura esta generalizacion empirica al conectar la interpretacion semantica con la estructura sintactica. Los datos acerca de los elementos que pueden o no ser desplazados de las expresiones nominales, proporcionan evidencia que apoya la propuesta de la estructura sintactica subyacente presentada en este trabajo. Se sostiene que los nominales que son islas sintacticas, proveen pruebas de que estan contenidos dentro de un constituyente desplazado---cuando se puede extraer un elemento de una frase nominal, la frase nominal no esta en una posicion derivada por el movimiento, lo cual tiene implicaciones con respecto a la estructura del orden verbo-inicial.Ante estas conclusiones, se propone un analisis sintactico del orden VOS, el cual esta generado por la base de dichos datos en ch'ol. El orden VSO se deriva del orden VOS al mover el objeto. Dicho analisis proporciona una manera sencilla y directa de capturar las propiedades observadas en los argumentos nominales y en las asimetrias sintacticas. Se proponen reglas de linearizacion que permiten formalizar el analisis de VOS dentro de la sintaxis estrecha (narrow syntax). La estructura sintactica propuesta en esta tesis brinda predicciones comprobables acerca de las propiedades semanticas y sintacticas de los argumentos nominales en otras lenguas. Se concluye que las lenguas de verbo-inicial no forman una categoria homogenea, por lo que una investigacion adicional con respecto a las dependencias estructurales de la sintaxis nominal y clausal, nos permitira indagar mas a fondo las similitudes y diferencias subyacentes en las lenguas del mundo.
