Explorations of Phase Theory: Features and Arguments

Edited by Kleanthes K. Grohmann. This volume collects current research of scholars who investigate the role of formal features in the grammar, address licensing of grammatical properties in the theoretical model, and critically inspect particular aspects of the expression of arguments within Phase Theory.The chapters presented in this volume provide case studies from several, typologically unrelated languages. Apart from novel analyses of new as well as well-known facts, the contributions also provide interesting aspects of and challenges for Phase Theory in general, by critically exploring a number of theoretical extensions, proposing new syntactic mechanisms, and sharpening our tools for linguistic analysis. 314 Seiten, gebunden (Interface explorations; Vol. 18/Mouton de Gruyter 2009) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
