Subject:  Linguistic Theory: The Clause in English

John Benjamins announces the publication of a new work in English Grammar:


The Clause in English.
In honour of Rodney Huddleston.
Peter COLLINS and David LEE (eds.)
Studies in Language Companion Series 45
US & Canada: 1 55619 931 7 / USD 89.00 (Hardcover)
Rest of world: 90 272 3048 X / NLG 178.00 (Hardcover)

The focus in this volume is on grammatical aspects of the clause in
English, presenting a fine balance between theoretically- and
descriptively-oriented approaches. Some authors investigate the status
and properties of 'minor' or 'fringe' constructions, including
'deictic-presentationals'; non-restrictive relative clauses with that;
'isolated if-clauses', and 'exceptional clauses'. In some articles the
validity of conventional accounts and approaches is questioned: such
as traditional constituency trees and labelled bracketings as a means
of representing relationships between parenthetical elements and their
'hosts'; or traditional morphophonemic analyses as explanations for
Ross's 'doubl-ing' constraint. While some authors question commonly
made assumptions (for example those concerning the relationships of
clauses to sentences and propositions; or those concerning the status
of post-head dependents in the NP), others appeal to new frameworks
(for instance 'emergence theory' is used as a source of inspiration in
dealing with 'intransitive prepositions'). This collection also
includes articles that adopt a solidly corpus-based approach.

Contributions by: Keith Allan; Noel Burton-Roberts; Ray Cattell; Peter
Collins; Bernard Comrie; Peter Fries; Sidney Greenbaum & Gerald
Nelson; Hisachi Higuchi; David Lee; John Lyons; James McCawley; John
Payne; Peter Peterson; Geoffrey Pullum & Arnold Zwicky; Lesley

The Clause in English has been prepared by colleagues past and

his consistently outstanding contribution to grammatical theory and
description.
