Recursion and self-embedding are at the heart of our ability to
formulate our thoughts, articulate our imagination and share with
other human beings. Nonetheless, controversy exists over the extent
to which recursion is shared across all domains of syntax. A
collection of 18 studies are presented here on the central
linguistic property of recursion, examining a range of
constructions in over a dozen languages representing great areal,
typological and genetic diversity and spanning wide latitudes. The
volume expands the topic to include prepositional phrases,
possessives, adjectives, and relative clauses - our many vehicles
to express creative thought - to provide a critical perspective on
claims about how recursion connects to broader aspects of the mind.
Parallel explorations across language families, literate and
non-literate societies, children and adults are investigated and
constitutes a new step in the generative tradition by
simultaneously focusing on formal theory, acquisition and
experimentation, and ecologically-sensitive fieldwork, and
initiates a new community where these diverse experts collaborate.
