Over the past decade, many issues leading towards refining the
model have been identified for a theory of syntax under minimalist
assumptions. One of the central questions within the current
theoretical model, Phase Theory, is architectural in nature:
Assuming a minimal structure of the grammar, how does the
computational system manipulate the grammar to construct a
well-formed derivation that takes items from the mental lexicon to
the interpretive interfaces? This collection addresses this issue
by exploring the design of the grammar and the tools of the theory
in order to shed light on the nature of the interpretive
interfaces, Logical Form and Phonetic Form, and their role in the
syntactic computation. The chapters in this volume collectively
contribute to a better understanding of the mapping from syntax to
PF on the one hand, especially issues concerning prosody and
Spell-Out, and semantic interpretation at LF on the other,
including interpretive and architectural issues of more conceptual
nature. Apart from careful case studies and specific data analysis
for a number of languages, the material contained here also has
repercussions for Phase Theory in general, theoretical
underpinnings as well as modifications of syntactic mechanisms.
