This book assembles a collection of papers in two different
domains: formal syntax and neurolinguistics. Here Moro provides
evidence that the two fields are becoming more and more
interconnected and that the new fascinating empirical questions and
results in the latter field cannot be obtained without the
theoretical base provided by the former. The book is organized in
two parts: Part 1 focuses on theoretical and empirical issues in a
comparative perspective (including the nature of syntactic
movement, the theory of locality and a far reaching and influential
theory of copular sentences). Part 2 provides the original sources
of some innovative and pioneering experiments based on neuroimaging
techniques (focusing on the biological nature of recursion and the
interpretation of negative sentences). Moro concludes with an
assessment of the impact of these perspectives on the theory of the
evolution of language. The leading and pervasive idea unifying all
the arguments developed here is the role of symmetry (breaking) in
syntax and in the relationship between language and the human
brain.
