We would like to bring to your attention to two new publications from
John Benjamins Publishing in the field of Generative Studies:


Minimal Words in a Minimal Syntax.  Word Formation in Swedish.
Gunlg Josefsson
1998 ix, 199 pp.  Lingvistic Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 19
US/Canada: Cloth: 1 55619 903 1 Price:US$75.00
Rest of the world: Cloth: 90 272 2740 3 Price: NLG 150
John Benjamins Publishing web site: http://www.benjamins.com
For further information via e-mail: service at benjamins.com

In Minimal Words in a Minimal Syntax the author combines a detailed
description of the morphological structure of words in Swedish with a
new approach to theoretical morphology based on the Minimalist Program
of Chomsky (1995) (as developed for syntactic structure).  The X-bar
theoretic approach to word structure of the Principles and Parameters
framework is replaced by a rule free approach incorporating only Merge
and Move as structure building devices.


Comparative Studies in Word Variation.
Adverb, pronouns and clause structure in Romance and Germanic
Christopher Laenzlinger
1998 x, 371 pp.  Linguistic Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 20
US/Canada: Cloth: 1 55619 904 X Price:US$79.00
Rest of the world: Cloth: 90 272 2741 1 Price: NLG 158

The present book is a typological study in crucial portions of the
grammars of French/Romance and German/Germanic.  It starts by asking:
"What do adverbs, pronouns and full noun phrases have in common?"  The
work finds promising solutions to this question within the Principles
& Parameter framework, on the basis of a well-defined formalization of
(I) Xbar-theory, (ii) checking Theory, (iii) clause structure
composition, and (iv) locality constraints on syntactic operations and
relations.
