This Handbook represents the development of research and the current level of knowledge in the fields of syntactic theory and syntax analysis. Syntax can look back to a long tradition. Especially in the last 50 years, however, the interaction between syntactic theory and syntactic analysis has led to a rapid increase in analyses and theoretical suggestions. This second edition of the Handbook on Syntax adopts a unifying perspective and therefore does not place the division of syntactic theory into several schools to the fore, but the increase in knowledge resulting from the fruitful...

In this book, Cinque takes a generative perspective on typological questions relating to word order and to the syntax of relative clauses. In particular, Cinque looks at: the position of the Head vis a vis the relative clause in relation to the position of the verb vis a vis his object; a general cross-linguistic analysis of correlatives; the need to distinguish a sentence-grammar, from a discourse-grammar, type of non-restrictives (with languages differing as to whether they possess both, one, the other, or neither); a selective type of extraction from relative clauses; and a tentative...

This book addresses two crucial problems associated with the phenomenon of Remnant Movement: First, what evidence can be brought to bear in favor or, or opposing to Remnant Movement analyses of linguistic phenomena? Secondly, what does the presence or absence of Remnant Movement in the syntax tell us about constraints imposed by Universal Grammar on syntactic operations?

This book covers anaphora resolution for the English language from a linguistic and computational point of view.
First, a definition of anaphors that applies to linguistics as well as information technology is given. On this foundation, all types of anaphors and their characteristics for English are outlined. To examine how frequent each type of anaphor is, a corpus of different hypertexts has been established and analysed with regard to anaphors. The most frequent type are non-finite clause anaphors - a type which has never been investigated so far. Therefore, the potential of...

The interplay between the interpretation of pronouns (e.g. bound/referential) and their form (e.g. null/overt) is still ill-understood. This volume has a cross-linguistic orientation with in-depth investigations of more than 10 different languages. It unites researchers from the linguistic subfields of syntax, semantics, and psycholinguistics, thus furthering dialogue with the goal of shedding new light on the form/interpretation connection.

Este volumen recoge diversos estudios sobre la subordinacion adverbial en espanol. Este fenomeno comprende una multiplicidad de estructuras sintacticas en las que intervienen categorias gramaticales como las preposiciones, conjunciones y adverbios, que, en comparacion con otras, han recibido poca atencion desde el punto de vista de la sintaxis formal. Los fenomenos se analizan teniendo en cuenta el panorama linguistico actual, por lo que se exponen explicaciones y generalizaciones cuyo alcance va mas alla de la gramatica de una lengua particular.

El volumen esta dividido en dos...

Im Vergleich zum Vorfeld und zu Einheiten am linken Rand wurde die rechte Peripherie des deutschen Satzes bislang wenig untersucht. Der Sammelband widmet sich erstmals ausschlielich nicht-sententialen Besetzungsformen des Nachfelds. Die 16 Beitrage greifen das Thema aus unterschiedlichen methodischen Perspektiven auf, sodass - erstmals in der Nachfeld-Forschung - syntaktisch-funktional, generativ und pragmatisch-stilistisch ausgerichtete Herangehensweisen sowie die Spracherwerbsperspektive zusammentreffen und ihren Fragestellungen unter Berucksichtigung sprachhistorischer sowie...

The purpose of Point of View, first published in 1990, is twofold: from the perspective of linguistics, to analyse the discourse structure of texts; from the perspective of literary studies, to explain certain non-linguistic aspects of the texts in terms of linguistic form. This study therefore aims to provide a balanced and sufficiently comprehensive account of the relationship between linguistic form and point of view. It will be of particular value to literature students with an interest in linguistics, and literary style.
