Abstract:
In the modular design of generative theory, the syntax-semantics interface
has accounted all along for meanings at the level of Logical Form. The
syntax-pragmatics interface, on the other hand, is the result of what one
may call the 'pragmatic turn' in the linguistic theory, where content is
partitioned into given and new information. In other words, the structural
division of the clause has been subjected to criteria of information, or
discourse structure. Both interfaces require a structurally descriptive
inventory whose specific shapes can be motivated on theory-internal grounds
only. The present collection of original articles develops the concept of
these interfaces further. The papers in the first section focus on the
syntax-semantics interface, those in the second section on the
syntax-pragmatics interface.
