Opis

This collection of seven papers studies important aspects of the syntax of Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, and Rumanian from a comparative perspective based on current linguistic frameworks, including the Minimalist Program. Topics addressed include control, raising, and obviation, negation, noun phrase structure, clitic pronouns, and verb movement.

Recenzje

... not a survey of Balkan syntax but a fascinating snapshot of several important issues, especially the properties of the infinitive-replacing 'subjunctive' construction and the proper treatment of various types of functional heads within the minimalist framework.
