This work is the culmination of an eighteen-year collaboration
between Ken Hale and Samuel Jay Keyser on the study of the syntax
of lexical items. It examines the hypothesis that the behavior of
lexical items may be explained in terms of a very small number of
very simple principles. In particular, a lexical item is assumed to
project a syntactic configuration defined over just two relations,
complement and specifier, where these configurations are
constrained to preclude iteration and to permit only binary
branching. The work examines this hypothesis by methodically
looking at a variety of constructions in English and other
languages.
