Abstract:

Displacement is a fundamental property of human language, and the restrictions
on displacement have been a central concern in generative grammar ever since
Ross' (1967) ground-breaking observations of island constraints. While island
phenomena have been investigated in detail from various perspectives, a
different domain, the domain of Freezing, originally defined in terms of
non-base structures, has received far less attention. This volume brings
together papers that address the questions of: What are the different concepts
of Freezing? Which empirical domains can they explain? Is Freezing a
core-syntactic restriction or does information structure, or processing play a
role? The collection of papers provides insights into the empirical basis of
the Freezing Principle in relation to other restrictions on extraction in
order to contribute to a broader understanding of the nature of restrictions
on displacement in language. The overall goal of the volume is a
reconsideration of Freezing and other (sub-)extraction phenomena, both from a
theoretical and empirical perspective, by bringing together contributions from
experts in the field to discuss and broaden our knowledge of the empirical
range of Freezing phenomena as well as their explanation.
