In the last decade, the notion of competition has come to play a major
role in syntactic theory, particularly in minimalist and
optimality-theoretic syntax. On this view, a sentence can only be
grammatical if it is "optimal'' in a set of competing candidates with
respect to a given evaluation metric - economy in the minimalist
program, quality of constraint profile in optimality theory. Preceded by
a general introduction that outlines both common features and main
differences among competition-based models, the ten articles in this
book critically investigate the viability of competition in syntax from
different points of view, concentrating on optimality theory and the
associated concepts of constraint ranking and constraint violability.
On the empirical side, the contributions focus on phenomena from a
variety of languages where an account in terms of competition has some
initial plausibility, among them word order, quantifier scope, chain
realization, argument linking, Ersatzinfinitiv, Case assignment, and
gapping. On the conceptual side, new light is shed on important issues
concerning basic notions that are notoriously unclear (like the nature
of the evaluation metric, the form of candidates and of candidate sets,
the role of the input, and parallel vs. serial optimization).
Furthermore, certain issues are addressed that are inherently
problematic for optimality-theoretic syntax (like optionality, absolute
ungrammaticality, gradient acceptability, and cumulativity of constraint
violation).

The book contains a selection of papers discussing different aspects of
verbs: in particular their inflection, their meaning, and their function
in sentences. The theoretical framework is that of Cognitive
Linguistics, a set of theories underlining the importance of meaning as
the basis of grammar. The book covers a variety of research areas (e.g.
acquisition, processing, and typology), and a selection of languages,
with special emphasis on Norwegian.

Eric Raimy
The Phonology and Morphology of Reduplication
2000. 23 x 15,5 cm. VIII, 200 pages.

(Studies in Generative Grammar 52)
The Phonology and Morphology of Reduplication investigates how
precedence information is encoded and manipulated in morphophonological
representations. Explicit precedence information is introduced to
phonological representations and shown to provide insight into
reduplication and affixation. Modular analyses of reduplication,
including backcopying effects, are presented for Malay, Chaha and Akan.
These analyses argue against claims of parallel computation in phonology
made by Optimality Theory. Morphological aspects of reduplication are
investigated through case studies of Nancowry, Indonesian, Tohono Oodham
and other languages. The resulting model of reduplication provides a
deeper understanding of reduplication than all other proposals because
reduplication is derived from language universal principles.
Eric Raimy is Visiting Assistant Professor at Swarthmore and Haverford
Colleges, USA.
