Abstract:

Even though the range of phenomena syntactic theories intend to account for is
basically the same, the large number of current approaches to syntax shows how
differently these phenomena can be interpreted, described, and explained. The
goal of the volume is to probe into the question of how exactly these
frameworks differ and what if anything they have in common.Descriptions of a
sample of current approaches to syntax are presented by their major
practitioners (Part I) followed by their metatheoretical underpinnings (Part
II). Given that the goal is to facilitate a systematic comparison among the
approaches, a checklist of issues was given to the contributors to address.
The main headings are Data, Goals, Descriptive Tools, and Criteria for
Evaluation. The chapters are structured uniformly allowing an item-by-item
survey across the frameworks. The introduction lays out the parameters along
which syntactic frameworks must be the same and how they may differ and a
final paper draws some conclusions about similarities and differences.The
volume is of interest to descriptive linguists, theoreticians of grammar,
philosophers of science, and studies of the cognitive science of science.
