Abstract:

This book reconsiders the role of order and structure in syntax, focusing on
fundamental issues such as word order and grammatical functions. The first
group of papers in the collection asks what word order can tell us about
syntactic structure, using evidence from V2, object shift, word order gaps and
different kinds of movement. The second group of papers all address the issue
of subjecthood in some way, and examine how certain subject properties vary
across languages: expression of subjects, expletive subjects, quirky and
locative subjects. All of the papers address in some way the tension between
modelling what can vary across languages whilst improving our understanding of
what might be universal to human language.

This book is complemented by Order and structure in syntax II: Subjecthood and
argument structure
