Abstract:

Exploring Nanosyntax provides the first in-depth introduction to the framework
of nanosyntax, which originated in the early 2000s as a formal theory of
language within Principles and Parameters framework. Deploying a radical
implementation of the cartographic "one feature - one head" maxim, the
framework provides a fine-grained decomposition of morphosyntactic structure,
laying bare the building blocks of the universal functional sequence. 
This volume makes three contributions: First, it presents the framework's
constitutive tools and principles, and explains how nanosyntax relates to
cartography and to Distributed Morphology. Second, it illustrates how
nanosyntactic tools and principles can be applied to a range of empirical
domains of natural language. In doing so, the volume provides a range of
detailed crosslinguistic investigations which uncover novel empirical data and
which contribute to a better understanding of the functional sequence. Third,
specific problems are raised and discussed and new theoretical strands
internal to the nanosyntactic framework are explored. Bringing together
original contributions by senior and junior researchers in the field,
Exploring Nanosyntax offers the first all-encompassing view of this promising
framework, making its methodology and exciting results accessible to a wide
audience.
