Abstract:

This book represents the state of the art on rightward movement in one
thematically coherent volume. It documents the growing importance of the
combination of empirical and theoretical work in linguistic analysis. Several
contributions argue that rightward movement is a means of reducing
phonological or structural complexity. The inclusion of corpus data and
psycholinguistic results confirms the Right Roof Constraint as a
characteristic property of extraposition and argues for a reduced role of
subsentential bounding nodes. The contributions also show that the phenomenon
cannot be looked at from one module of grammar alone, but calls for an
interaction of syntax, semantics, phonology, and discourse. The discussion of
different languages such as English, German, Dutch, Italian, Italian Sign
Language, Modern Greek, Uyghur, and Khalkha enhances our understanding of the
complexity of the phenomenon. Finally, the analytic options of different
frameworks are explored. The volume is of interest to students and researchers
of syntax, semantics, psycholinguistics, and corpus linguistics.
