Abstract:

Phase Theory is the latest empirical and conceptual innovation in syntactic
theory within the Chomskyan generative tradition. Adopting a cross-linguistic
perspective, this book provides an introduction to Phase Theory, tracing the
development of phases in minimalist syntax. It reviews both empirical and
theoretical arguments in favor of phases, and examines the role phases play at
the interface with semantics and phonology. Analyzing current phasehood
diagnostics, it applies them in a systematic fashion to a broad range of
syntactic categories, both phases and non-phases. It concludes with a
discussion of some of the more contentious issues in Phase Theory, involving
cross-linguistic variation with respect to phasehood and the dynamic versus
static nature of phases.
