The articles in this volume grew from papers presented at the
workshop on control held at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, March 1989. The work of the various authors comes at a
moment in linguistic theory that is notable for two developments.
First, there has been increasing involvement of syntactic theory in
semantics and of semantic theory in syntax, with the result that
the sorting of facts into syntactic and semantic has become a more
complex and theory-laden affair. Second, there has been an enormous
growth both in the breadth and depth of studies in languages other
than English. Both of these develop ments have left their mark on
the authors, directly and indirectly. They have also been
responsible for the shifts that have given the key terminology its
present range of application. In this introduction we discuss the
background to the issues that were particularly prominent both at
the workshop and in the authors' final drafts. We also com ment on
the spirit of inquiry that they represent. Our goal is to provide
some orientation to the specific contents of the essays and to
supply material for reflection on a set of problems that will
doubtless develop and deepen as rapidly in the foreseeable future
as they have in the recent past."
