This volume features cutting-edge research from leading authorities
on the nature and structure of the verbal domain and the complexity
of the Verb Phrase (VP). The book is divided into three parts,
representing the areas in which contemporary debate on the verbal
domain is most active. The first part focuses on the V head, and
includes four chapters discussing the setup of verbal roots, their
syntax, and their interaction with other functional heads such as
Voice and v. Chapters in the second part discuss the need to
postulate a Voice head in the structure of a clause, and whether
Voice is different from v. Voice was originally intended as the
head hosting the external argument in its specifier, as well as
transitivity. This section explores its relationship with
"syntactic" voice, i.e. the alternation between actives and
passives. Part three is dedicated to event structure, inner aspect,
and Aktionsart. It tackles issues such as the one-to-one relation
between argument structure and event structure, and whether there
can be minimal structural units at the basis of the derivation of
any sort of XP, including the VP.
