Parameters have lain at the core of linguistic research in the
generative tradition for decades. The theoretical questions they
have raised are deep and broad: this reference text investigates
how contemporary linguistics has best tried to answer them. This
book looks at how parameters might be properly defined and what
their locus might be :lexical information, functional heads, the
computational system, the phonological branch of the grammar. What
kind of data forms trigger acquisition of a parameter? Are
parameters necessary or can we study languages without making
reference to them? The questions looked at are not just
theoretical: how can a theory of parameters be used to help
understand second language acquisition, and what contributions can
it make to the study of language typology? This is the right time
to gather all this information, dispersed in many different kinds
of publications by single authors and groups, into one
comprehensive volume.
