Syntax (Hardcover)

This collection covers the fundamental concepts and analytic tools of generative syntax of the last fifty years, from Chomsky's Morphophonemics of Modern Hebrew (1951) to the present day. It makes available, in one place, key published material on each of the following areas: * Phrase structure: This first volume includes articles on the phrase structure of linguistic expressions: how it is represented and the grammatical mechanisms that create it--in short, the foundations of syntactic theory. * Transformations: (2 volumes) These volumes cover the development of the major mechanisms accounting for displacement and deletion phenomena, including verbal morphology, NP-movement, wh-movement, extraposition, VP-deletion and gapping. * Conditions on Rules and Representations: (2 volumes) These volumes cover the major constraints on the application of transformations and the representations they create, including the cycle, Case theory, binding theory, government, locality, theta theory, the projection principle, and the extended projection principle. Bresnan, Chomsky, Freidin, Stowell, Hale, Huang, Jackendoff, Kayne, Lasnik, McCawley, Pollock, Postal, Reinhart, Rizzi, Ross, Stowell, Torrego, Travis, Vergnaud, and Williams--among many others. Each volume contains a general introduction by the editors and a full index.
