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.
Professor Howard Lasnik is one of the world's leading theoretical linguists. He has produced influential and important work in areas such as syntactic theory, logical form, and learnability. This collection of essays draws together some of his best work from his substantial contribution to linguistic theory.
with Marcela Depiante and Arthur Stepanov This book provides an introduction to some classic ideas and analyses of transformational generative grammar, viewed both on their own terms and from a more modern, or minimalist perspective. The major focus is on the set of analyses treating English verbal morphology. The book shows how the analyses in Chomsky's classic "Syntactic Structures" actually work, filling in underlying assumptions and often unstated formal particulars. From there the book moves to successive theoretical developments and revisions -- both in general and in particular as they pertain to inflectional verbal morphology. After comparing Chomsky's economy-based account with his later minimalist approach, the book concludes with a hybrid theory of English verbal morphology that includes elements of both "Syntactic Structures" and "A Minimalist Program for Linguistic Theory."
