Opis

This book proposes that the fundamental building blocks of syntax are relations between words rather than constituents formed from words.

Recenzje

'This book challenges assumptions that have gone unquestioned for too long, while hewing to the core principles of the Minimalist Program. It will be useful and thought-provoking to generative syntacticians of all theoretical persuasions.' Elizabeth Cowper, University of Toronto
