One of the fundamental properties of human language is movement,
where a constituent moves from one position in a sentence to
another position. Syntactic theory has long been concerned with
properties of movement, including locality restrictions. Smuggling
in Syntax investigates how different movement operations interact
with one another, focusing on the special case of smuggling. First
introduced by volume editor Chris Collins in 2005, the term
'smuggling' refers to a specific type of movement interaction. The
contributions in this volume each describe different areas where
smuggling derivations play a role, including passives, causatives,
adverb placement, the dative alternation, the placement of measure
phrases, wh-in-situ, and word order in ergative languages. The
volume also addresses issues like the freezing constraint on
movement and the acquisition of smuggling derivations by children.
In this work, Adriana Belletti and Chris Collins bring together
leading syntacticians to present a range of contributions on
different aspects of smuggling. Tackling fundamental theoretical
questions with empirical consequences, this volume explores one of
the least understood types of movement and points the way toward
new research.
