This dissertation describes and analyzes the syntactic properties of three inter-related structures in both standard and non-standard varieties of Mandarin: yes-no question, unconditional adverbial clauses, and verb echo answers to yes-no questions.All human languages have ways to ask a yes-no question, but cross-linguistically they differ from each other in the exact strategies used. I systematically look at a type of sentence-internal question particle that is only used in forming yes-no questions in Jianghuai Mandarin, providing cross-linguistic evidence for Bhatt & Dayal's (2020) proposal about the existence of a class of dedicated yes-no question particles in human languages. I further compare three types of yes-no questions formed with a sentence-internal question particle ha/a or/and an A-not-A string in two mutually intelligible varieties of Jianghuai Mandarin spoken in Wuhu and Nanjing. The distributional differences between ha/a and A-not-A string are understandable if they are within two separate functional projections, QuP and PolP respectively. Meanwhile, the parallel behaviors of all three types of yes-no questions are taken as evidence that they all share the same underlying structure that involve both QuP and PolP, and the variation in their surface forms is reduced to the lexicon. Building on Holmberg's (2016) analysis of yes-no questions, I argue that the syntax of yes-no questions in Jianghuai Mandarin not only involves a PolP headed by an open-valued polarity variable [ Pol], but a QuP headed by a dedicated yes-no question particle must also be present. Furthermore, I discuss another structure where a yes-no question seems to be allowed, unconditional adverbial clauses, which have not attracted much attention in the literature on Mandarin syntax Unlike the traditional assumption, I show that there exist two distinct types of unconditional adverbial clauses in Mandarin: Headed antecedents and bare antecedents consistently differ from each other in both their internal and external syntax. Regarding the internal syntax, bare antecedents involve an impoverished structure: They are TPs without a left periphery; whereas headed antecedents involve a full-fledged CP-domain. I argue that only headed but not bare antecedents involve an embedded interrogative. In terms of the external syntax, bare antecedents are base generated at Spec douP within the consequent and then overtly move to their canonical pre-consequent position, hence they all fall under the category of central adverbial clauses. In contrast, the merger of headed antecedents is independent from dou, and hence they exhibit more flexibility in their attachment sites and varying degrees of integration with the consequent. It is argued that they can realize as any of the three types of adverbial clauses: central adverbial clauses, peripheral adverbial clauses, and overarching speech-act modifiers, each of which show distinct properties in their external syntax (and internal syntax). This provides cross-linguistic evidence for the three-way division in adverbial clauses recently proposed by Frey (2020) and Badan & Haegeman (2022). Neutral yes-no questions are typically answered by repeating the verb in the question (i.e. "verb echo answers" or VEA) in Mandarin, which is the third structure I investigate in this dissertation. Building on existing studies (Liu 2014, Simpson 2015, Holmberg 2016, Wei 2019, a.o.), I provide converging empirical evidence showing that VEAs must not only involve a base-generated verb or a VP, and there must be an underlying sentential structure. I show that Mandarin VEAs do not involve pro-drop and analyses involving pro-drop face two kinds of empirical challenges: Elements that cannot be pro-dropped are nevertheless omitted from VEAs; whereas elements that can be dropped still allow elements extracted from them to surface in VEAs. Meanwhile, I argue that a head movement approach cannot account for (i) variations in VEAs, especially various kinds of phrasal elements occurring in VEAs; and (ii) VEAs to embedded yes-no questions with matrix scope. I instead propose that Mandarin VEAs are derived through (remnant) PolP movement followed by TP ellipsis.

Leading gestalt therapist Michael Kriegsfeld led therapy groups around the world. Gestalt therapy focuses on conflicts between aspects of the self, and the attempt by patients to avoid responsibility for their choices and behavior. When Kriegsfeld died suddenly in 1992, he left 170 three-hour-long videotapes of his work with groups in the United States and Europe. Through excerpts from these tapes, author Lee Kassan provides examples of Kriegsfeld's methods that will be of use to every therapist regardless of his or her field. Divided into five main sections, Who Could We Ask? The Gestalt Therapy of Michael Kriegsfeld delivers a revealing, personal portrait of Kriegsfeld. Kassan explains Kriegsfeld's theory of the gestalt model as an alternative to the medical model that dominates the therapy field today. Kassan brilliantly illustrates and explains the procedures that Kriegsfeld used in gestalt therapy. Informative and intimate, Who Could We Ask? is a rare glimpse of a master therapist at work.

The Kid. The Splendid Splinter. Teddy Ballgame. One of the greatest figures of his generation, and arguably the greatest baseball hitter of all time. But what made Ted Williams a legend – and a lightning rod for controversy in life and in death? Still a gangly teenager when he stepped into a Boston Red Sox uniform in 1939, Williams’s boisterous personality and penchant for towering home runs earned him adoring admirers and venomous critics. In 1941, the entire country followed Williams's stunning .406 season, a record that has not been touched in over six decades. Then at the pinnacle of his prime, Williams left Boston to train and serve as a fighter pilot in World War II, missing three full years of baseball, making his achievements all the more remarkable. Ted Willams's personal life was equally colorful. His attraction to women (and their attraction to him) was a constant. He was married and divorced three times and he fathered two daughters and a son. He was one of corporate America's first modern spokesmen, and he remained, nearly into his eighties, a fiercely devoted fisherman. With his son, John Henry Williams, he devoted his final years to the sports memorabilia business, even as illness overtook him. And in death, controversy and public outcry followed Williams and the disagreements between his children over the decision to have his body preserved for future resuscitation in a cryonics facility--a fate, many argue, Williams never wanted. With unmatched verve and passion, and drawing upon hundreds of interviews, acclaimed best-selling author Leigh Montville brings to life Ted Williams's superb triumphs, lonely tragedies, and intensely colorful personality, in a biography that is fitting of an American hero and legend.
