ISBN: 9780198237952 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Movement in Language: Interactions and Architectures
ISBN: 9780198241171 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text is a comprehensive, integrated explanatory account of the properties of question formations and their variation across languages. The book contributes to the debate over whether syntax should be understood derivationally, arguing that the best model of language is one in which sentences are constructed in a series of operations that precede, or follow each other in time. The central problem addressed is the nature of the difference between languages in which all words move overtly to a clause-initial position (exemplified by Bulgarian); languages in which one phrase moves per clause...
