This volume collects together core papers by Richard K. Larson
developing what has since come to be known as the "VP Shell" or
"Split VP" analysis of sentential structure. The volume includes
five previously published papers together with two major
unpublished works from the same period: "Light Predicate Raising"
(1989), which explores the interesting consequences of a leftward
raising analysis of "NP Shift" phenomena, and "The Projection of DP
(and DegP)" (1991), which extends the shell approach to the
projection of nominal and adjectival structure, showing how
projection can be handled in a uniform way. In addition to
published, unpublished and limited distribution work, the volume
includes extensive new introductory material. The general
introduction traces the conceptual roots of VP Shells and its
problems in the face of subsequent developments in theory, and
offers an updated form compatible with modern Minimalist syntactic
analysis. The section introductions to the material on datives,
complex predicates and nominals show how the updated form of shell
theory applies in the empirical domains where it was originally
developed.
