Microvariation in Syntactic Doubling
Contains seventeen papers on microvariation in syntactic doubling. This work provides an overview of the syntactic doubling phenomena attested and of the theoretical analyses available. It discusses the syntactic doubling phenomena including, among others, subject pronoun doubling, WH pronoun doubling, clitic doubling and auxiliary doubling.
Modality and Its Interaction with the Verbal System
This book provides a broad overview of the issues relevant for the study of syntax of modals and their interaction with the verbal system. A large number of novel observations are offered from a variety of languages, including Dutch, (Modern and Middle) English, German, Lele, Macedonian, Middle Dutch and Slovene. The wealth of data, the critical evaluation of existing syntactic analyses of modality and the alternative analyses proposed make the book interesting for both for descriptively and for theoretically oriented syntacticians. Major concerns addressed are: the distinction between epistemic and root modality (where the arguments pro and contra the assumption of a corresponding differenc...
Dimensions of Movement
This volume presents a collection of papers of recent generative research into the properties of phrasal and feature movement, which explore these key syntactic phenomena from different angles and across languages. The papers advance or build on models of movement which capitalize either on generalized feature movement or on generalized remnant movement. Both these approaches attempt to develop a restrictive theory of movement aiming at a simplification of the operations of the computational system. Despite the fact that they are so different technically, generalized feature movement and generalized remnant movement both push the theory of movement to the same direction in two important respects: (a) Elimination of head movement. (b) Elimination of covert movement. The book is of primary interest to researchers and students in theoretical linguistics and syntactic theory.
Syntactic Atlas of the Dutch Dialects
The Syntactic Atlas of the Dutch Dialects (SAND) provides a detailed overview of the surprisingly rich syntactic variation found in 267 dialects of Dutch at the beginning of the 21st century. More than 200 full color maps show the geographic distributiebon of over 100 syntactic variables. Many of these variables involve phenomena that are absent form the standard language and thus of great descriptive and theoretical importante. A state-of-the art linguistic description and commentary accompanies each map, taking into account the results of modern syntactic research as well as historical developments. Volume I (2005) shows the variation in complementisers and complementiser agreement, subject pronouns, subject doubling and subject clitisation after yes/ no, reflexives and reciprocals, relative clauses, question-word doubling and topicalisation. Volume II shows the variation in two- and three verb clusters, interruption of the verb clusters, extraposition and te ‘to’ in the verbal clusters, auxiliary selection, do-insertion, and negation and quantification.
