In Essays in Honor of Christopher Hogwood: The Maestro's Direction,
Thomas Donahue has collected several essays from authors who have
been motivated and inspired by the distinguished keyboard player,
music editor, writer, and conductor, Christopher Hogwood, in honor
of his 70th birthday in 2011. As is clearly shown in the assembled
articles, Hogwood has had considerable influence in the latter half
of the 20th century in advocating the historically informed
performance of early music. Contributions from such scholars as Yo
Tomita, Richard Troeger, Sabine K. Klaus, Bridget Cunningham, and
Annette Richards pay tribute to this major musician of the 20th
century, one of the strongest advocates for the performance of
early music. The volume begins with a foreword by Bernard Brauchli,
followed by a chronology of Hogwood's education and career,
including his publications and awards. The succeeding essays cover
a variety of subjects associated with Hogwood's approach to early
music, including the interpretation of composers' notations,
discussions of musical instrument construction and use, elucidation
of performance traditions and conventions of the past, and analysis
of the music itself. The essays provide insights on the music of
Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and J.S. and C.P.E. Bach and
consider various keyboard instruments such as the clavichord,
square piano, spinet, and claviorgan. An afterword by Hogwood
himself completes this well rounded collection.
This book explores a wide variety of theoretically central issues
in the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), a
major theory of syntactic representation, particularly in the
domain of natural language computation. HPSG is a strongly
lexicon-driven theory, like several others on the scene, but unlike
the others it also relies heavily on an explicit assignment of
linguistic objects to membership in a hierarchically organised
network of types, where constraints associated with any given type
are inherited by all of its subtypes. This theoretical architecture
allows HPSG considerable flexibility within the confines of a
highly restrictive, mathematically explicit formalism, requiring no
derivational machinery and invoking only a single level of
syntactic representation. The separate chapters consider a variety
of problematic phenomena in German, Japanese and English and
suggest important extensions of, and revisions to, the picture of
HPSG.

How do languages transmit information about the properties of
phrases over large structural distances? This is the difficult
question raised by the phenomenon of extraction, and while
extraction has driven the development of syntactic theory for
decades, there is still no consensus on what form the connectivity
mechanism should take. A number of recent theoretical approaches
share the view that extraction is not a unitary phenomenon, but
this monograph offers data that radically undercuts this view. The
grammar of extraction connectivity, the authors conclude, is
relatively simple, homogenous in construction type, and uniform in
the position of the extractee.
