This Handbook provides a comprehensive view of the current issues

in contemporary syntactic theory.

Written by an international assembly of leading specialists in the

field, the 23 original articles in this Handbook serve as a

comprehensive and useful reference for various areas of grammar.

The chapters include analyses of non-configurational languages, a

crosslinguistic comparison of important grammatical features that

interface with semantics, discussions from the perspective of

learnability theory, a discussion of thematic relations, and

comparisons of derivational and representational approaches to

grammar.

These cutting-edge articles, combined with the editors' informative

introduction and an extensive bibliography, grant readers the

greatest access to the field of natural language syntax today.

Mark Baker has taught in the linguistics department at McGill University, and most recently at Rutgers

University. His specialty is in the syntax of understudied non-Indo-European languages, especially

native American and African languages. He is the author of two books (Incorporation and The

Polysynthesis Parameter) and numerous articles on syntax and related topics in the morphology and

semantics of such languages.

Mark Baltin is Professor of Linguistics at New York University, where he has taught since receiving his

PhD from MIT in 1978. He has written numerous articles on movement rules, ellipsis, phrase

structure, and predication, which have appeared in Linguistic Inquiry and various edited volumes. He

coedited, with Anthony S. Kroch, Alternative Conceptions of Phrase-Structure, and has served on the

National Science Foundation's Advisory Panel for Linguistics.

Andrew Barss is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona, where he has taught

since receiving his PhD from MIT in 1986. Dr Barss's research focusses on several closely connected

areas of syntactic theory and the syntax-semantics interface, conducted predominantly in the

Minimalist framework.

Adriana Belletti is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Siena. She is the author of,

among other essays, the monograph ÑGeneralized Verb MovementÒ and the article ÑThe Case of

UnaccusativesÒ (Linguistic Inquiry). She has served as European editor of Linguistic Inquiry and is now

on the associate editorial board of the journal.

Judy B. Bernstein is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Syracuse University. Her research interests

include syntax, particularly comparative syntax, an d language acquisition. Within syntax, she has

worked extensively on the internal structure of noun phrases, and within language acquisition, she

has recently conducted experiments on various aspects of the acquisition of relative clauses in

English-speaking children.

John Bowers is Professor of Linguistics at Cornell University. In addition to his recent work on

predication, he has published work on X ಿ -theory, constraints on transformations, and the syntax-

semantics interface. He is currently working on a Minimalist approach to argument structure and

adverbial modification.

Joan Bresnan is Howard H. and Jesse T. Watkins University Professor of Linguistics at Stanford

University. She has also taught at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and at MIT. Bresnan's

research interests include syntactic theory and the design of universal grammar, computational

linguistics, and the structure of Bantu and Australian aboriginal languages. Among her publications

are Theory of Complementation in English Syntax, Linguistic Theory and Psychological Reality

(coedited with Halle and Miller), and The Mental Representation of Grammatical Relations. A principal

architect of the theory of Lexical Functional Grammar, she has also contributed to Optimality

Theoretic morphosyntax, and has been a Fellow at th e Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral

Sciences, and a Guggenheim Fellow.

Chris Collins is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Cornell University,

where he has been since 1993. He does research on t he syntax of African languages, including Ewe

(spoken in West Africa) and = Hoan (spoken in Botsw ana). His other main interest is in economy

conditions in syntax. He is the author of Local Economy.

Martin Everaert is Associate Professor at the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS. He has published on

anaphora and idioms and is currently on the editori al board of Linguistic Inquiry and the Journal of

Comparative Germanic Linguistics.

Janet Dean Fodor is Distinguished Professor of Linguistics at the Graduate School of the City

University of New York. Following her PhD at MIT, she worked on semantics for a few years before

turning to psycholinguistics. She has published many papers on sentence processing, with emphasis

on universal properties of the human sentence parsing routines. More recently she has been working

on issues of the learnability of natural language. In 1997 she was President of the Linguistic Society of

America.

Naoki Fukui is Professor of Linguistics and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of California,

Irvine. He has published numerous books and articles (in both English and Japanese) on phrase

structure, movement, philosophy of linguistics, and the theory of comparative syntax. He is also an

editorial board member of various international jou rnals such as Linguistic Inquiry, Linguistic Review,

Lingua, the Journal of East Asian Linguistics, etc.

Jeffrey S. Gruber is known for his seminal work on semantic role structure -thematic relations or

Ñtheta-theoryÒ - stemming from his influential MIT dissertation of 1965. He has published work on

thematic, lexical, and conceptual structure, as well as essays on the adoption of a universal auxiliary

language. Following field research in Botswana on the Khoisan language = Hoan in the early 1970s,

he held appointments as Professor and Head of Department of Linguistics at Awolowo University at Ife

and at the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria, until 1992. He is currently a visiting scholar in the

Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT.

Kyle Johnson teaches theoretic syntax at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is perhaps

best known for his work on word order and its relat ion to grammatical functions. In recent years he

has been exploring the relationships between ellipses phenomena, word order variation in Germanic,

and the mechanisms that assign scope to quantificational arguments.

Anthony S. Kroch is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the

University's Institute for Research in Cognitive Science. He is a specialist in problems of natural

language syntax and the syntax-semantics interface. In addition to his publications in formal syntax

and the syntax-semantics interface, he has done several statistical studies of the historical syntax of

English, for which he designed and supervised the construction of a one-million-word parsed

treebank of Middle English, the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English, which is available to

scholars world-wide.

Howard Lasnik is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Connecticut, where he has taught since

receiving his PhD from MIT in 1972. He has supervised 34 completed PhD dissertations, on

morphology, on language acquisition, and, especially, on syntactic theory. His main research areas are

syntactic theory and the syntax-semantics interface. His publications include scores of articles and s ix

books, the most recent being Minimalist Analysis and, with Marcela Depiante and Arthur Stepanov,

Syntactic Structures Revisited: Contemporary Lectures on Classic Transformational Theory.

Giuseppe Longobardi is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Trieste, and taught previously at

the University of Venice. He is the author, with Allesandra Giorgi, of The Syntax of Noun Phrases, as

well as numerous articles on various aspects of the syntax and semantics of nominal expressions.

Eric J. Reuland is Professor of Linguistics at Utrecht University, and Academic Director of the Utrecht

Institute of Linguistics OTS and the National Graduate School of Linguistics in the Netherlands LOT.

He has published on a wide range of topics, including syntactic categories, (in)definiteness, and

binding, in journals such as Linguistic Inquiry and in various books. He has also edited a number of

books on these topics, and is currently serving as the European Editor of Linguistic Inquiry.

Luigi Rizzi is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Siena. His main research domains are
