Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Syntax – the study of sentence structure – has been at the centre of
generative linguistics from its inception and has developed rapidly and in
various directions. The Cambridge Handbook of Generative Syntax provides a
historical context for what is happening in the field of generative syntax
today, a survey of the various generative approaches to syntactic structure
available in the literature and an overview of the state of the art in the
principal modules of the theory and the interfaces with semantics, phonology,
information structure and sentence processing, as well as linguistic variation
and language acquisition. This indispensable resource for advanced students,
professional linguists (generative and non-generative alike) and scholars in
related fields of inquiry presents a comprehensive survey of the field of
generative syntactic research in all its variety, written by leading experts
and providing a proper sense of the range of syntactic theories calling
themselves generative.
