This book reflects on key questions of enduring interest on the
nature of syntax, bringing together Grant Goodall's previous
publications and new work exploring how syntactic representations
are structured and the affordances of experimental techniques in
studying them. The volume sheds light on central issues in the
theory of syntax while also elucidating the methods of data
collection which inform them. Featuring Goodall's previous studies
of linguistic phenomena in English, Spanish, and Chinese, and
complemented by a new introduction and material specific to this
volume, the book is divided into four sections around fundamental
strands of syntactic theory. The four parts explore the
dimensionality of syntactic representations; the relationship
between syntactic structure and predicate-argument structure;
interactions between subjects and wh-phrases in questions; and more
detailed investigations of wh-dependencies but from a more overtly
experimental perspective. Taken together, the volume reinforces the
connections between these different aspects of syntax by
highlighting their respective roles in defining what syntactic
objects look like and how the grammar operates on them. This book
will be a valuable resource for scholars in linguistics,
particularly those with an interest in syntax, psycholinguistics,
and Romance linguistics.
