This book investigates a set of marginal syntactic structures which
have been singularly influential in the development of generative
theory, spotlighting lesser-studied languages of the Indic family
while emphasizing implications for linguistic theory more broadly.
After first defining what constitutes a marginal syntactic
structure, this book then undertakes a micro-comparative approach
to the rigorous exploration of fundamental properties of human
language, including displacement, ellipsis, unbounded dependencies,
and the role of clausal peripheries in such languages as Kashmiri
and Romani. In so doing, Manetta interrogates and ultimately
affirms the relevance of marked and marginal strings which have
proven to be crucial to generative syntax while simultaneously
advocating for the role of lesser-studied languages to the study of
such properties. This book is key reading for graduate students and
researchers in linguistics and syntax more specifically, as well as
those interested in the study of Indic languages.
