    £23.99

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

    £7.99

    A new theory of labeling that sheds light on such syntactic phenomena as relativization, successive cyclicity, island phenomena, and Minimality effects.

  • by Andrew (University College London) Nevins
    £7.99

    A view of the locality conditions on vowel harmony, aligning empirical phenomena within phonology with the principles of the Minimalist program.

  • by David Lebeaux

  • by Molly Diesing

  • by Shigeru (Professor of Linguistics & Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Miyagawa

  • by Andrea Moro
    £26.49

    The central idea of this book is that movement and phrase structure are not independent properties of grammar; instead, movement is triggered by the geometry of phrase structure. Using this idea of "Dynamic antisymmetry", the book analyzes the consequences for the design of grammar.

  • by William A. Ladusaw & Sandra (University of California Santa Cruz) Chung
    £29.99

    A study of indefinites in Maori and Chamorro and their relevance to the interaction of compositional semantic interpretation and syntactic structure.
