It also features crosslinguistic studies that deal with clausal architecture, negation, and tense and aspect, and the issue of whether a statistical model can by itself capture the richness of human linguistic abilities. Editor(s): Zanuttini, Raffaella; Campos, Hector; Herburger, Elena; Portner, Paul H. Series: Georgetown University Round Table on Languages & Linguistics Series. Num Pages: 254 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: CFG; CFK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 16. Weight in Grams: 408.
Presenting cutting-edge research in syntax and semantics, this important volume furthers theoretical claims in generative linguistics and represents a significant addition to present scholarship in the field. Leading scholars present crosslinguistic studies dealing with clausal architecture, negation, and tense and aspect, and the issue of whether a statistical model can by itself capture the richness of human linguistic abilities. Taken together, these contributions elegantly show how theoretical tools can propel our understanding of language beyond pretheoretical descriptions, especially when combined with the insight and skills of linguists who can analyze difficult and complex data.

Reviews for Crosslinguistic Research in Syntax and Semantics
This collection, coming from highly distinguished international specialists, is extremely important for all specialists in syntax and semantics.
