Abstract:

This book investigates the concept of phase, aiming at a structural definition 
of the three domains that are assumed as the syntactic loci for interface 
interpretation, namely VP, CP and DP. 

In particular, three basic issues are addressed, that represent major 
questions of syntactic research within the Minimalist Program in the last 
decade. A) How is the set of minimally necessary syntactic operations to be 
characterised (including questions about the exact nature of copy and 
merge, the status of remnant movement, the role of head movement in the 
grammar), B) How is the set of minimally necessary functional heads to be 
characterised that determine the built-up and the interpretation of syntactic 
objects and C) How do these syntactic operations and objects interact with 
principles and requirements that are thought to hold at the two interfaces. 

The concept of phase has also implications for the research on the 
functional make-up of syntactic objects, implying that functional projections 
not only apply in a (universally given) hierarchy but split up in various phases 
pertaining to the head they are related to. 

This volume provides major contributions to this ongoing discussion, 
investigating these issues in a variety of languages (Berber, Dutch, English, 
German, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian and West Flemish) and 
combining the analysis of empirical data with the theoretical insights of the 
last years.
