This book investigates the concept of phase, aiming at a structural
definition of the three domains that are assumed as the syntactic
loci for interface interpretation, namely vP, CP and DP. In
particular, three basic issues are addressed, that represent major
questions of syntactic research within the Minimalist Program in
the last decade. A) How is the set of minimally necessary syntactic
operations to be characterised (including questions about the exact
nature of copy and merge, the status of remnant movement, the role
of head movement in the grammar), B) How is the set of minimally
necessary functional heads to be characterised that determine the
built-up and the interpretation of syntactic objects and C) How do
these syntactic operations and objects interact with principles and
requirements that are thought to hold at the two interfaces. The
concept of phase has also implications for the research on the
functional make-up of syntactic objects, implying that functional
projections not only apply in a (universally given) hierarchy but
split up in various phases pertaining to the head they are related
to. This volume provides major contributions to this ongoing
discussion, investigating these issues in a variety of languages
(Berber, Dutch, English, German, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Italian,
Norwegian and West Flemish) and combining the analysis of empirical
data with the theoretical insights of the last years.
