The direction in which the structure of sentences and filler-gap
dependencies are built is a topic of fundamental importance to
linguistic theory and its applications. This book develops an
integrated understanding of structure building, movement and
locality embedded in a syntactic theory that argues for a 'top
down' approach, presenting an explicit counterweight to the
bottom-up derivations pervading the Chomskian mainstream. It
combines a compact and comprehensive historical perspective on
structure building, the cycle, and movement, with detailed
discussions of island effects, the typology of long-distance
filler-gap dependencies, and the special problems posed by the
subject in clausal syntax. Providing introductions to the main
issues, reviewing extant arguments for bottom-up and top-down
approaches, and presenting several case studies in its development
of a new theory, this book should be of interest to all students
and scholars of language interested in syntactic structures and the
dependencies inside them.
