Description

Under the tenet shared by Hornstein and Kayne that rules of construal need to be recaptured by the operation Move, this book aims to construct a movement theory of anaphora according to which anaphoric relations are established through movement of pro. This theory has significant theoretical implications for reconstruction effects and pro-drop phenomena. It has brought binding theory into the realm of the Minimalist Program.

Blurb

The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.
