This groundbreaking book offers a new and compelling perspective on
the structure of human language. The fundamental issue it addresses
is the proper balance between syntax and semantics, between
structure and derivation, and between rule systems and lexicon. It
argues that the balance struck by mainstream generative grammar is
wrong. It puts forward a new basis for syntactic theory, drawing on
a wide range of frameworks, and charts new directions for research.
In the past four decades, theories of syntactic structure have
become more abstract, and syntactic derivations have become ever
more complex. Peter Culicover and Ray Jackendoff trace this
development through the history of contemporary syntactic theory,
showing how much it has been driven by theory-internal rather than
empirical considerations. They develop an alternative that is
responsive to linguistic, cognitive, computational, and biological
concerns. Simpler Syntax is addressed to linguists of all
persuasions. It will also be of central interest to those concerned
with language in psychology, human biology, evolution,
computational science, and artificial intelligence.
