Objects and Other Subjects
Grammatical Functions, Functional Categories and Configurationality
Edited by:
William D. Davies
Dept. of Linguistics, University of Iowa, USA
Stanley Dubinsky
Linguistics Program, University of South Carolina, USA
STUDIES IN NATURAL LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTIC THEORY : Volume 52
Grammatical functions, readily identifiable informally in particular
languages, have had an uncertain status in generative grammar. Despite
Chomsky's assertion in Aspects that they are not theoretical
primitives (a position vigorously challenged by a number of well-known
theories), the role of functions such as subject and object has become
increasingly prominent as Chomskyan linguistics has developed. As
statements of principles and rules of grammar have grown to
incorporate these notions, the position that grammatical functions are
not primitives has come to merit scrutiny. The papers in this volume
examine the current role of grammatical functions in transformational
syntax in two ways: (i) through largely theoretical considerations of
their status, and (ii) through detailed analyses for a wide variety of
languages. Taken together the chapters in this volume present a
comprehensive view of how transformational syntax characterizes the
elusive but often useful notions of subject and object, examining how
subject and object properties are distributed among various functional
projections, converging sometimes in particular languages.
