Abstract:
Parameters of linguistic variation were originally conceived, within the
chomskyan Principles and Parameters Theory, as UG-determined options that were
associated with grammatical principles and had a rich deductive structure.
This characterization of parametric differences among languages has changed
significantly over the years, especially so with the advent of Minimalism.
This book collects a representative sample of current generative research on
the status, origin and size of parameters. Often taking diverging views, the
papers in the volume address some or all of the main debated topics in
parametric syntax: i.e. are parameters provided by UG, or do they constitute
emergent properties arising from points of underspecification?; in which
component(s) of the language faculty are parameters to be found?; do
clustering effects actually hold across languages?; do macroparameters exist
alongside microparameters?; are there parameter hierarchies?; which is the
origin and role of parameters in the process of language acquisition?
The volume is organized into two parts. Part I ("The nature of variation and
parameters") brings together studies whose main goal is to discuss general
issues related to parameters (or variation more generally). Part II
("Parameters in the analysis of language variation: case studies") includes a
number of works that deal with the empirical basis and proper formulation of
well-known particular parameters: the Null Subject Parameter, the NP/DP
Parameter, the Compounding Parameter, the Wh-Parameter and the Analyticity
Parameter.
