Main description:
The articles of the present volume consist of generative analyses dealing with several current topics of discussion and debate in syntactic theory, such as clitics, word order, scrambling, directionality, movement. The data in the volume are drawn from a number of typologically diverse languages (e.g. Arabic, Berber, Dutch, Gaelic, Greek, Malagasy).
Table of contents:
- Introduction
- Typological Implications of a directionality constraint on projections
- Universal Grammar and the Typology of Ergative Languages
- Some Properties of Ellipsis in Coordination
- Deriving the Parametrisation of the Mapping Hypothesis
- Syntactic Dependencies and their properties: weak islands
- On Extraction, argument binding and voice morphology in Malagasy
- Universals and Minimalist Features
- Genitive Subjects and the VSO Order
- Some Properties of Clitics (with special reference to Modern Greek)
