• An introduction to the logic of the minimalist program - arguably the most important branch of syntax
  
• Proposes a new theory of how long-distance dependencies are formed, with implications for theories of locality, and the minimalist program as a whole
  
• Introduces the logic of the minimalist program by analyzing well-known descriptive generalizations about...

The distinction between functional categories and lexical categories is at the heart of present-day grammatical theory, in theories on language acquisition, code-switching and aphasia. At the same time, it has become clear, however, that there are many lexical items for which it is less easy to decide whether they side with the lexical categories or the functional ones. This book deals with the grammatical behavior of such in- between-categories, which are referred to here as "semi-lexical categories."

Die Arbeit enthalt sprachtheoretische und methodische Grunduberlegungen zur Grammatikographie, insbesondere fur den Bereich der Prapositionen und der Substantivvalenz, sowie grundlegende Analysen zu den Aufbauprinzipien der Prapositionalattributskonstruktion des Deutschen. Es wird eine speziell auf die behandelte Thematik zugeschnittene Terminologie entwickelt, und es werden die Abgrenzungskriterien und Testverfahren gegenuber konkurrierenden syntaktischen Konstruktionen unter Berucksichtigung umfangreichen Corpusmaterials formuliert. Die Binnenstruktur von...

Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies...

Die Studie untersucht - ausgehend von einem umfangreichen Korpus - die Vergleichsstrukturen des Deutschen. Im Zentrum stehen die verschiedenen Typen der Aquativvergleiche (Vergleiche mit wie), die komparativischen und die superlativischen Vergleiche. Ausgangspunkt fur die Analyse ist die Annahme, da Vergleiche typischerweise vergleichsauslosende operative Mittel, den Vergleichsaspekt und die beiden "Vergleichsglieder" aufweisen. Alle diese Bestandteile werden eingehend in formaler und funktionaler Hinsicht analysiert. Die vergleichsauslosenden Mittel (wie etwa wie, als...

The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to...

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science.

TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as...

The Glot International State-of-the-Article books constitute the ideal solution for everyone who wants to have a good idea of what the others are doing but does not have time to follow the developments in all other parts of the field on a day to day basis. All articles were previously published in Glot International and have been revised and updated, and special attention was given to the extensive bibliography, which constitutes an important part of each overview article.

Among the essays in the first volume are overview articles dealing with VP ellipsis (by Kyle...

The present monograph deals with lexical representation and linking within the framework of Functional Grammar. The notion of predicate frame as originally proposed in 1978 and subsequent refinements of the theory are challenged in that a new format of representing argument taking properties is formulated. This new format opens new lines of research towards the design of a new linking algorithm in Functional Grammar.

Spanning more than two decades of thinking about generative approaches to Universal Grammar, the two interviews with Noam Chomsky in this book permit a rare and illuminating insight into his views on numerous issues in linguistics and beyond. The first discussion dates from the early days of the so-called Government Binding Theory, the second one took place after a decade of Minimalism. Thereby the evolution and the dynamics in linguistic theorizing are dramatically revealed. Scholars of grammar, cognitive scientists, philosophers will profit by reading this book, but anyone with an ardent...

Die Satzgliedanalyse gehort zu den grundlegenden Kompetenzen angehender Germanisten und ist darum ein verbindlicher Teil der universitaren Lehre. Das Studienbuch bietet erstmalig einen detaillierten Uberblick uber theoretische Konzepte und Termini der Satzgliedanalyse, die durch zahlreiche praktische Beispiele und Musteranalysen anschaulich erlautert und durch Ubungsaufgaben und ein Register erganzt werden. Das Buch bietet so ein universell einsetzbares Instrumentarium zur sicheren Bestimmung einzelner Satzglieder (Hauptsatz, Nebensatz, Subjekt, Objekt, Pradikat, Attribut usw.), das auch...
