Abstract:

This book focuses on the role size plays in grammar. Under the umbrella term
size fall the size of syntactic projections, the size of feature content, and
the size of reference sets. The contributions in this first volume discuss
size and structure building.

The most productive research program in syntax where size plays a central role
revolves around clausal complements. Part 1 of Volume I contributes to this
program with papers that argue for particular structures of clausal
complements, as well as papers that employ sizes of clausal complements to
account for other phenomena. The papers in Part 2 of this volume explore the
interaction between size and structure building beyond clausal complements,
including phenomena in CP, vP, and NP domains. The contributions cover a
variety of languages, many of which are understudied.

The book is complemented by Volume II which discusses size effects in
movement, agreement, and interpretation.
