Form, structure, and grammar

Meer over het boek

Over the last thirty years, Günther Grewendorf has made significant contributions to the study of natural language within the generative paradigm. This volume honors him with a collection of papers from colleagues and friends, many of whom are leading figures in the field. The articles present an updated perspective on topics ranging from theoretical syntax to pragmatic and philosophical issues, reflecting central themes in Grewendorf's work. Key subjects include the relationship between word order and information structuring, pro-drop phenomena, verbal syntax, the syntax-morphology interface, clausal typing, mood encoding, language acquisition, evolution, semantic interpretation, and the intersection of language and law. By exploring fundamental issues in a clear and accessible manner, this collection offers a comprehensive overview of current research in formal linguistics. It appeals not only to experts in the respective fields but also to readers interested in the generative enterprise more broadly. Contributions come from notable scholars such as Werner Abraham, Josef Bayer, Adriana Belletti, and many others, ensuring a diverse and rich exploration of contemporary linguistic research.
