Opis

This volume makes a case for a critical reassessment of the wide-spread view that syntax can be reduced to tree structures, arguing for concepts that are defined in terms of linear order. By connecting the descriptive tools of modern phrase-structure grammar with traditional descriptive scholarship, Andreas Kathol offers a new perspective on many long-standing problems in syntactic theory.

Recenzje

Review from previous edition 'An important contribution to the exploration of Germanic syntax within the theoretical assumptions of HPSG (Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar) ... the book builds a bridge of communication between different research camps and gives linguists without a Germanic background access to the classical insights of topological theory, whose merits, as we see, have come an exceptionally long way.'
