In this book, leading linguists explore the empirical scope of syntactic theory, by concentrating on a set of phenomena for which both syntactic and nonsyntactic analyses initially appear plausible. Exploring the nature of such phenomena permits a deeper understanding of the nature of syntax and of neighbouring modules and their interaction. The book contributes to both traditional work in generative syntax and to the recent emphasis placed on questions related to the interfaces. The major topics covered include areas of current intensive research within the Minimalist Program and syntactic theory more generally, such as constraints on scope and binding relations, information-structural effects on syntactic structure, the structure of words and idioms, argument- and event-structural alternations, and the nature of the relations between syntactic, semantic, and phonological representations. After the editors' introduction, the volume is organized into four thematic sections: architectures; syntax and information structure; syntax and the lexicon; and lexical items at the interfaces. The volume is of interest to syntactic theorists, as well as linguists and cognitive scientists working in neighbouring disciplines such as lexical and compositional semantics, pragmatics and discourse structure, and morphophonology, and anyone with an interest in the modular architecture of the language faculty.
This book explores the interaction of grammatical components in a
wide variety of languages, and presents and exemplifies new
experimental and analytic techniques for studying linguistic
interfaces. Speaking a language requires access to the different
aspects of its grammar -- semantic, syntactic, phonological,
pragmatic, morphological, and phonetic. Knowing how these interact
is crucial to understanding the operations of any specific language
and to the explanation of how language in general operates in the
mind. The new research presented here combines theoretical and
experimental perspectives on one of the most productive fields in
contemporary linguistics.
