The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the
main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This
branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is
concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of
linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into
the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high
quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues.
The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from
syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to
studies of the lexicon. To discuss your book idea or submit a

The distinction between functional categories and lexical
categories is at the heart of present-day grammatical theory, in
theories on language acquisition, code-switching and aphasia. At
the same time, it has become clear, however, that there are many
lexical items for which it is less easy to decide whether they side
with the lexical categories or the functional ones. This book deals
with the grammatical behavior of such in- between-categories, which
are referred to here as "semi-lexical categories."
Diagnosis is an essential part of scientific research. It refers to
the process of identifying a phenomenon, property, or condition on
the basis of certain signs and by the use of various diagnostic
procedures. This book is the first ever to consider the use of
diagnostics in syntactic research and focuses on the five core
domains of natural language syntax - ellipsis, agreement, anaphora,
phrasal movement, and head movement. Each empirical domain is
considered in turn from the perspectives of syntax, syntax at the
interfaces, neuropsycholinguistics, and language diversity. Drawing
on the expertise of 20 leading scholars and their empirically rich
data, the book presents current thoughts on, and practical answers
to, the question: What are the diagnostic signs, techniques and
procedures that can be used to analyse natural language syntax? It
will interest linguists, including formalists, typologists,
psycholinguists and neurolinguists.
