Abstract:

This handbook provides a critical guide to the most central proposition in
modern linguistics: the notion, generally known as Universal Grammar, that a
universal set of structural principles underlies the grammatical diversity of
the world's languages. Part I considers the implications of Universal Grammar
for philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language, and examines the
history of the theory. Part II focuses on linguistic theory, looking at topics
such as explanatory adequacy and how phonology and semantics fit into
Universal Grammar. Parts III and IV look respectively at the insights derived
from UG-inspired research on language acquisition, and at comparative syntax
and language typology, while part V considers the evidence for Universal
Grammar in phenomena such as creoles, language pathology, and sign language.
The book will be a vital reference for linguists, philosophers, and cognitive
scientists.
