This volume addresses some of the most important approaches to the
following key questions in contemporary generative syntactic
theory: What are the operations available for (syntactic)
structure-building in natural languages? What are the triggers
behind them? and Which constraints are involved in the operations?
Internationally recognised scholars and young researchers propose
new answers on the basis of detailed discussions of a wide range of
phenomena (Gapping, Right-Node-Raising, Comparative Deletion,
Across-The-Board movement, Tough-constructions, Nominalizations,
Scope interactions, Wh-movement, A-movement, Case and Agreement
relations, among others). Their discussions draw on evidence from a
rich variety of languages, including Brazilian Portuguese,
Bulgarian, Croatian, English, German, Icelandic, Japanese, Spanish,
Vata, and Vietnamese. The proposals presented illustrate the shift
in the locus of the explanation of linguistic phenomena that
characterizes contemporary linguistic theory: a shift, in many
cases, from a model which relies on properties of systems external
to narrow syntax (such as the Lexicon or the Phonetic Form
component) to one which relies on properties of the
structure-building mechanisms themselves. The volume will interest
researchers and students of theoretical linguistics from advanced
undergraduate and above.
