The subject of this study, first published in 1979, is the role of
the complementizer in English syntax and its implications for
syntactic theory. It is argued that the familiar transformational
treatment of complementizers is inadequate, and that they must be
specified in deep structure by means of a Phrase Structure rule.
This title will be of interest to students of language and
linguistics.

Complex predicates can be defined as predicates which are composed
of more than one grammatical element (either morphemes or words),
each of which contributes a non-trivial part of the information of
the complex predicate. The papers collected in this volume, which
were presented at a workshop at Stanford in 1993, represent a
variety of approaches to the question of the range and nature of
complex predicates, and draw on data from a wide spectrum of
languages. This collection develops a better understanding of the
range of phenomena that a general theory of complex predicates
would have to account for, and to see what kinds of linguistic
ideas and methodologies would be necessary for such a task.
This volume of working papers emerged from a workshop on
Morphology/Syntax/Discourse Interactions held in the summer of 1985
at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, Stanford
University. The central objective of the workshop was to discover
how the overall linguistics architecture must be structured to
explain the kinds of interactions between morphological, syntactic,
and discourse phenomena that are empirically found to occur. The
papers included in the volume are refined and augmented versions of
the material originally presented in the workshop and deal with
different aspects of interactions between syntax and other
subsystems of the grammar.
