13 view cover	Thematic Structure in Syntax more books like this by Edwin Williams add to wishlist This monograph summarizes, rethinks and extends a decade of the author's work on theta-role assignments - the ways in which the roles implied by verbs of a given type play out in terms of position and other syntactic functions. The study of theta roles and the locality of theta-role assignment leads into many areas of linguistic theory, such as ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $6.98!
14 view cover	Dynamic Antisymmetry more books like this by Andrea Moro add to wishlist The central idea of "Dynamic Antisymmetry" is that movement and phrase structure are not independent properties of grammar; more specifically, that movement is triggered by the geometry of phrase structure. Assuming a minimalist framework, movement is traced back to the necessity for natural language to organize words in linear order at the ... see all copies from $2.12! new only from $3.97!

Two key ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $37.46! \| first editions \| SVS
