The work collected in this book represents the results of some
intensive recent work on the syntax of natural languages. The
authors' differing viewpoints have in common the program of
revising current conceptions of syntactic representation so that
the role of transformational derivations is reduced or eliminated.
The fact that the papers cross-refer to each other a good deal, and
that authors assuming quite different fram{: works are aware of
each other's results and address themselves to shared problems, is
partly the result of a conference on the nature of syntactic
representation that was held at Brown University in May 1979 with
the express purpose of bringing together different lines of
research in syntax. The papers in this volume mostly arise out of
work that was presented in preliminary form at that conference,
though much rewriting and further research has been done in the
interim period. Two papers are included because although they were
not given even in preliminary form at the conference, it has become
clear since then that they interrelate with the work of the
conference so much that they cannot reasonably be left out: Gerald
Gazdar's statement of his program for phrase structure description
of natural language forms the theoretical basis that is assumed by
Maling and Zaenen and by Sag, and David Dowty's paper represents a
bridge between the relational grammar exemplified here in the
papers by Perlmutter and Postal on the one hand and the Montague"
