Exploring Nanosyntax provides the first in-depth introduction to
the framework of nanosyntax, which originated in the early 2000s as
a formal theory of language within Principles and Parameters
framework. Deploying a radical implementation of the cartographic
"one feature - one head" maxim, the framework provides a
fine-grained decomposition of morphosyntactic structure, laying
bare the building blocks of the universal functional sequence. This
volume makes three contributions: First, it presents the
framework's constitutive tools and principles, and explains how
nanosyntax relates to cartography and to Distributed Morphology.
Second, it illustrates how nanosyntactic tools and principles can
be applied to a range of empirical domains of natural language. In
doing so, the volume provides a range of detailed crosslinguistic
investigations which uncover novel empirical data and which
contribute to a better understanding of the functional sequence.
Third, specific problems are raised and discussed and new
theoretical strands internal to the nanosyntactic framework are
explored. Bringing together original contributions by senior and
junior researchers in the field, Exploring Nanosyntax offers the
first all-encompassing view of this promising framework, making its
methodology and exciting results accessible to a wide audience.
