In this book, leading linguists explore the empirical scope of
syntactic theory, by concentrating on a set of phenomena for which
both syntactic and nonsyntactic analyses initially appear
plausible. Exploring the nature of such phenomena permits a deeper
understanding of the nature of syntax and of neighbouring modules
and their interaction. The book contributes to both traditional
work in generative syntax and to the recent emphasis placed on
questions related to the interfaces. The major topics covered
include areas of current intensive research within the Minimalist
Program and syntactic theory more generally, such as constraints on
scope and binding relations, information-structural effects on
syntactic structure, the structure of words and idioms, argument-
and event-structural alternations, and the nature of the relations
between syntactic, semantic, and phonological representations.
After the editors' introduction, the volume is organized into four
thematic sections: architectures; syntax and information structure;
syntax and the lexicon; and lexical items at the interfaces. The
volume is of interest to syntactic theorists, as well as linguists
and cognitive scientists working in neighbouring disciplines such
as lexical and compositional semantics, pragmatics and discourse
structure, and morphophonology, and anyone with an interest in the
modular architecture of the language faculty.
