Abstract:

Models of theoretical linguistics now emphasize the meeting points, or
interfaces, between different aspects of our language capacity. Syntactic
operations include structure-building, checking long-distance relationships
between units, and connecting alternative word orders. This volume presents a
collection of original studies that explore the mapping between these
operations and other language-related areas such as word meanings, discourse
contexts, the construction of meaning for larger units, and the alternative
expressions of word order. It differs from previous traditional research on
interfaces by bringing together studies and analyses from a range of
languages, using monolingual varieties that include second language phenomena.
Case studies of different types of interfaces, as well as studies based on
lesser known sets of linguistic data, provide important examples that propose
a new view of the connections between syntactic processes and other areas of
grammar.


Introduction: the road to interfaces Mónica Cabrera and José Camacho

7. On the syntax of pronominal clitics: a view from Greek Patricia
Schneider-Zioga
Part III. Linearization:
8. Merge, restructuring and clitic climbing in Spanish Pascual José Masullo
