Locality is a key concept not only in linguistic theorizing, but in
explaining pattern of acquisition and patterns of recovery in
garden path sentences, as well. If syntax relates sound and meaning
over an infinite domain, syntactic dependencies and operations must
be restricted in such a way to apply over limited, finite domains
in order to be detectable at all (although of course they may be
allowed to iterate indefinitely). The theory of what these finite
domains are and how they relate to the fundamentally unbounded
nature of syntax is the theory of locality. The papers in this
collection all deal with the concept of locality in syntactic
theory, and, more specifically, describe and analyze the various
contributions Luigi Rizzi has made to this area over the past three
and a half decades. The authors are all eminent linguists in
generative syntax who have collaborated with Rizzi closely, and in
eleven chapters, they explore locality in both pure syntax and
psycholinguistics. This collection is essential reading for
students and scholars of linguistic theory, generative syntax, and
comparative syntax.
