San Lucas Quiavin Zapotec, an endangered and little-examined
indigenous language of Mexico, shows a range of syntactic and
morphological phenomena incompatible with standard Minimalist
accounts of verb movement. This work proposes a VP-remnant raising
account for these phenomena, motivated by Kayne 's (1992)
antisymmetry program. The book also examines the consequences of
phrasal remnant movement for negation constructions, and the
interpretation of tense, aspect, and mood.
