Syntactic complexity has always been a matter of intense
investigation in formal linguistics. Since complex syntax is
clearly evidenced by sentential embedding and since embedding of
one clause/phrase in another is taken to signal recursivity of the
grammar, the capacity of computing syntactic complexity is of
central interest to the recent hypothesis that syntactic recursion
is the defining property of natural language. In the light of more
recent claims according to which complex syntax is not a universal
property of all living languages, the issue of how to detect and
define syntactic complexity has been revived with a combination of
classical and new arguments. This volume contains contributions
about the formal complexity of natural language, about specific
issues of clausal embedding, and about syntactic complexity in
terms of grammar-external interfaces in the domain of language
acquisition.
