Abstract:

This volume emphasizes a new line of thinking in generative grammar which
acknowledges that certain synchronic properties of languages can only be
fully understood if diachronic data is taken into consideration. The
central topics addressed in this collection of papers are (1) a critical
assessment of the hypothesis that certain apparently synchronic
generalizations are actually the result of the mechanisms of language
change, (2) an inquiry into how diachronic data can be used to evaluate and
shape formal analyses of particular synchronic phenomena. Reviving the
interest in diachronic explanations for synchronic data, the contributions
provide novel and original diachronic accounts of phenomena that up to now
have escaped a deeper synchronic explanation, including the nature of EPP
features, gaps in the distribution of complementizer agreement, and
counterexamples to the generalization that rich verbal inflection
correlates with verb movement.
