This is the first volume dedicated to the study of formal features
and the expression of arguments within Phase Theory, the latest
model of syntactic theorizing within the Minimalist Program. The
collection addresses the nature of formal features and their role
in the syntactic computation as well as checking mechanisms and
configurations. It also investigates theoretical issues underlying
the nature of syntactic arguments and their licensing (argument
structure at large) and specific grammatical operations involving
arguments (abstract and morphological case, empty elements,
passivization, negation, and aspect). The chapters presented in
this volume provide case studies from several, typologically
unrelated languages. Apart from novel analyses of new as well as
well-known facts, the contributions also provide interesting
aspects of and challenges for Phase Theory in general, by
critically exploring a number of theoretical extensions, proposing
new syntactic mechanisms, and sharpening our tools for linguistic
analysis.
