Abstract:

This volume brings together cutting-edge experimental research from leaders in
the fields of linguistics and psycholinguistics to explore the nature of a
phenomenon that has long been central to syntactic theory - 'island effects'.
The chapters in this volume draw upon recent methodological advances in
experimental methods in syntax, also known as 'experimental syntax', to
investigate the underlying cognitive mechanisms that give rise to island
effects. This volume presents a comprehensive empirical review of a
contemporary debate in the field by including contributions from researchers
representing a variety of points of view on the nature of island effects. This
book is ideal for students and researchers interested in cutting-edge
experimental techniques in linguistics, psycholinguistics and psychology.

islands Jon Sprouse and Norbert Hornstein; Part I. Global Issues in the
