Springer, 2017. — 246 p. — (Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory 93). This volume examines how the displacement property of language is characterized in formal terms under the Minimalist Program and to what extent this proposed characterization of it can explain relevant displacement properties. The birth of the Principles and Parameters Approach makes it possible...
De Gruyter, 2012. — 332 p. — (Linguistische Arbeiten 543). The minimalist notion of a phase has often been investigated with a view to the interfaces. ‘Phases’ provides a strictly syntax-internal perspective. If phases are fundamental, they should provide the grounds for a unifying treatment of different syntactic phenomena. Concentrating on displacement, the book argues that...
Oxford University Press, 2014. — 337 p. — (Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax).

Brill, 2008. — 495 p. — (Syntax and Semantics 36). Syntactic doubling is the phenomenon in which a constituent, i.e., a morphosyntactic feature, morpheme, word or phrase, is expressed two or more times within a clause. Since such duplicates are often redundant in that they do not contribute to semantic interpretation, the question arises as to why they are possible or...
Brill, 2020. — xii, 378 p. — (Brill's Studies in Historical Linguistics 11). During several decades, syntactic reconstruction has been more or less regarded as a bootless and an unsuccessful venture, not least due to the heavy criticism in the 1970s from scholars like Watkins, Jeffers, Lightfoot, etc. This fallacious view culminated in Lightfoot’s (2002: 625) conclusion: “[i]f...

To approach this domain, many of the...
De Gruyter, 2016. — 340 p. — (Linguistische Arbeiten, 564). Particles have for the longest time been ignored by linguistic research. School-type grammars ignored them since they did not fit into pre-conceived notions of categories, and since they did not seem to enter into grammatical relations commonly discussed in the genre.

Chomsky showed that no description of natural language syntax would be adequate without some notion of movement operations in a syntactic derivation. It now seems likely that such movement transformations are formally simple operations, in which a single phrase is displaced...
Academic Press, 2005. — 440 p. — (Syntax and Semantics, 35). For the whole of the last half-century, most theoretical syntacticians have assumed that knowledge of language is different from the tasks of speaking and understanding.
