Though such multiple workspaces get to be resolved into a single – matrix – workspace, the issue of timing– i.e. the point when multiple workspaces must resolve to a single derivational space has not been addressed in the literature. I argue that not only the direction, but also the timing of syntactic computations is guided by a more general requirement to reduce the computational complexity and I propose <em>Multiple Workspaces Earliness Hypothesis </em>to address this issue<em>. </em>On the empirical side, the technical apparatus and the analysis I propose allow me to capture the seemingly contradictory binding facts involving locative PPs as well as to treat adjuncts as relation, rather than absolute notions.</p> UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/studies-in-polish-linguistics/article/timing-is-everything-on-derivational-complexity-and-multiple-workspaces
