This book brings together many of Peter Culicover's most
significant observations on the nature of syntax and its place
within the architecture of human language. Over four decades he has
sought to understand the cognitive foundations of linguistic theory
and the place of syntactic theory in explaining how language works.
This has led him to specific proposals regarding the proper scope
of syntactic theory and to a re-examination of the empirical basis
of syntactic analyses, which reflect judgements reflecting not only
linguistic competence but the complexity of the computations
involved in acquiring and using language. After a brief a
retrospective the author opens the book with the Simpler Syntax
Hypothesis, an article written with Ray Jackendoff, that proposes
significant restrictions on the scope of the syntactic component of
the grammar. The work is then divided into parts concerned broadly
with representations, structures, and computation. The chapters are
provided with contextual headnotes and footnote references to
subsequent work, but are otherwise printed essentially as they
first appeared. Peter Culicover's lively and original perspectives
on syntax and grammar will appeal to all theoretical linguists and
their advanced students.
