The phenomenon of the syntactic 'island' - a clause or structure
from which a word cannot be moved - is central to research and
study in syntactic theory. This book provides a comprehensive
overview of syntactic islands. What are they? How do they arise?
Why do they exist? Cedric Boeckx discusses the pros and cons of all
the major generative accounts of island effects, and focuses the
discussion on whether islands are narrowly syntactic effects, are
due to interface factors or are 'merely' performance effects.
Thanks to the diversity of island effects, readers are given a
unique opportunity to familiarize themselves with all the major
research styles and types of analysis in theoretical linguistics
and have the chance to reflect on the theoretical implications of
concrete natural language examples, allowing them to develop their
own synthesis.
