Cartography is a research program within syntactic theory that
studies the syntactic structures of a particular language in order
to better understand the semantic issues at play in that language.
The approach arranges a language's morpho-syntactic features in a
rigid universal hierarchy, and its research agenda is to describe
this hierarchy - that is, to draw maps of syntactic configurations.
Current work in cartography is both empirical - extending the
approach to new languages and new structures - and theoretical. The
16 articles in this collection will advance both dimensions. They
arise from presentations made at the Syntactic Cartography: Where
do we go from here? colloquium held at the University of Geneva in
June of 2012 and address three questions at the core of research in
syntactic cartography: 1. Where do the contents of functional
structure come from? 2. What explains the particular order or
hierarchy in which they appear? 3. What are the computational
restrictions on the activation of functional categories? Grouped
thematically into four sections, the articles address these
questions through comparative studies across various languages,
such as Italian, Old Italian, Hungarian, English, Jamaican Creole,
Japanese, and Chinese, among others.
