SYNTAX:

Esther Torrego (1998) The Dependencies of Objects. MIT Press.

This monograph investigates the nature, properties, and consequences of
the grammatical constraints that yield overt marking of objects in a
variety of languages. The author, working within the Minimalist
Program, concentrates on the syntactic and semantic behaviors of a
particular class of objects: objects morphologically marked by the
dative preposition in Romance languages, especially in several Spanish
dialects, with consideration of similar phenomena in other languages.

NOAM CHOMSKY - BIOGRAPHY

***Special note: the reviewer for the following volume should be willing
to review not only the book, but also the interactive Web Site associated
with the book. The reviewer must therefore have web-reading software and
knowledge of the WWW***

Robert F. Barsky (1997) Noam Chomsky: A life of dissent. MIT Press Cambridge.

        This biography describes the intellectual and political milieus that
helped shape Noam Chomsky, a pivotal figure in contemporary linguistics,
politics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy. It also presents an
engaging polical history of the last several decades. The book highlights
Chomsky's views on the uses and misuses of the university as an institution,
his assessment of useful political engagement and his dobuts about
postmodernism. Because Chomsky is given ample space to articulate his views on
many of the major issues relating to his work, both linguistic and political,
this book can also be seen as the autobiography that Chomsky says he will
never write.
