    A novel, systematic theory of adjunct control, explaining how and why adjuncts shift between obligatory and nonobligatory control.Control in adjuncts involves a complex interaction of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, which so far has resisted systematic analysis. In this book, Idan Landau offers the first comprehensive account of adjunct control. Extending the framework developed in his earlier book, A Two-Tiered Theory of Control, Landau analyzes ten different types of adjuncts and shows that they fall into two categories: those displaying strict obligatory control (OC) and those alternating between OC and nonobligatory control (NOC). He explains how and why adjuncts shift between OC and NOC, unifying their syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties.Landau shows that the split between the two types of adjuncts reflects a fundamental distinction in the semantic type of the adjunct: property (OC) or proposition (NOC), a distinction independently detectable by the adjunct''s tolerance to a lexical subject. After presenting a fully compositional account of controlled adjuncts, Landau tests and confirms the specific configurational predictions for each type of adjunct. He describes the interplay between OC and NOC in terms of general principles of competition--both within the grammar and outside of it, in the pragmatics and in the processing module--shedding new light on classical puzzles in the acquisition of adjunct control by children. Along the way, he addresses a range of empirical phenomena, including implicit arguments, event control, logophoricity, and topicality.

  • - From the Inventory of Persons to Their Morphological Realization
    av Peter (Professor Ackema
    744,-

    A proposal that person features do not have inherent content but are used to navigate a "person space" at the heart of every pronominal expression.

  • - A Syntactic Universal
    av Anders (Professor in Theoretical Linguistics, Theresa (Senior Research Associate, University of Cambridge) Biberauer, m.fl.
    744,-

    An examination of the evidence for and the theoretical implications of a universal word order constraint, with data from a wide range of languages.

  • av Daniel (Queen Mary & University of London) Harbour
    631,-

    A groundbreaking, comprehensive formal theory of grammatical person that recasts its empirical foundations and re-envisions its theoretical core.

  • - At the Syntax-Lexical Semantics Interface
    av Beth (Stanford University) Levin
    1 015,-

  • av Idan (Associate Professor & Ben Gurion University) Landau
    410,-

    A theory of control, equally grounded in syntax and semantics, that argues that obligatory control is achieved either through predication or through logophoric anchoring.

  • - A Comparative Study
    av Guglielmo (Professor & Universita Ca' Foscari di Venezia) Cinque
    608,-

    A new analysis of adjectives, supported by comparative evidence.

  • av Richard S. Kayne
    608,-

    It is standardly assumed that Universal Grammar (UG) allows a given hierarchical representation to be associated with more than one linear order. This book proposes a restrictive theory of word order and phrase structure that denies this assumption. According to this theory, phrase structure always completely determines linear order, so that if two phrases differ in linear order, they must also differ in hierarchical structure.

  • av Shigeru (Professor of Linguistics & Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Miyagawa
    435,-

    An argument that agreement and agreementless languages are unified under an expanded view of grammatical features including both phi-features and certain discourse configurational features.

  • av Norvin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Richards
    492,-

    An argument that the word order of a given language is largely predictable from independently observable facts about its phonology and morphology.

  • - Scrambling, Choice Functions, and Differential Marking
    av Luis (University of Illinois at Chicago) Lopez
    631,-

    A novel view of the syntax-semantics interface that analyzes the behavior of indefinite objects.

  • av Jane (Rutgers University) Grimshaw
    608,-

    Argument Structure is a contribution to linguistics at the interface between lexical syntax and lexical semantics.

  • av Stefan (University of Southern California) Keine
    760,-

    A comprehensive theory of selective opacity effects-configurations in which syntactic domains are opaque to some processes but transparent to others-within a Minimalist framework.

  • - Lessons from Acehnese
    av Julie Anne (University of Pennsylvania) Legate
    744,-

    An investigation of the syntactic structure of voice and v, using Acehnese (Malayo-Polynesian) as the empirical starting point.

  • av Hadas (Lecturer in Semantics & Yale University) Kotek
    395,-

    An investigation of the syntax and semantics of wh-questions through the lens of intervention effects, offering a new proposal on overt and covert wh-movement.

  • av Molly Diesing
    404,-

    Investigates the relationship between the syntactic and semantic representations of sentences within the framework of generative grammar. Diesing also considers the problem of deriving logical representations from syntactic representations of sentences.
