The First Glot International State-of-the-Article Book: The Latest in Linguistics (Studies in Generative Grammar, 48) (Studies in Generative Grammar [Sgg])

The Glot International State-of-the-Article books constitute the ideal solution for everyone who wants to have a good idea of what the others are doing but does not have time to follow the developments in all other parts of the field on a day to day basis. All articles were previously published in Glot International and have been revised and updated, and special attention was given to the extensive bibliography, which constitutes an important part of each overview article. Among the essays in the first volume are overview articles dealing with VP ellipsis (by Kyle Johnson), Ergativity (by Alana Johns), tone (by San Duanmu), acquisition of phonology (by Paula Fikkert), and semantic change (by Elizabeth Closs Traugott). The second volume offers articles on subjects ranging from the development of grammars (by David Lightfoot) and markedness in phonology (by Keren Rice) to the syntactic representation of linguistic events (by Sara Thomas Rosen), optionality in Optimality syntax (by Gereon Muller) and the nature of coordination (by Ljiljana Progovac). 1......Page 1 2......Page 7 3......Page 9 4......Page 11 5......Page 37 6......Page 57 7......Page 85 8......Page 115 9......Page 141 10......Page 181 11......Page 209 12......Page 231 13......Page 261 14......Page 297 15......Page 317 16......Page 339 17......Page 359 18......Page 395 19......Page 417 The primary motivation for the introduction of F-cats was the insufficient number of positions provided by simple phrase structure configurations. Over the last decade the concept of Functional Category has found its way into generative grammar. Edited By Lisa Cheng, Rint Sybesma. Includes Bibliographical References.
