Abstract:
This book is about the recursive nature of syntax, its various spin-off
implications, and the singular role it has played in the shaping of the
generative grammar enterprise of Noam Chomsky. It takes as its point of
departure four classic sentences which allows for an analysis of how
recursive, embedded structures serve as a bricolage template for the formation
of human language. Other topics which are informed by our discussion of
recursive analyses are included as Five Notes, which include the Dual
Mechanism Model, Problems of Projection, Proto-language, Recursive
Implementation in AI, and the Brain.
Joseph Galasso is on the Linguistics Faculty at California State University,
Northridge. His main research involves issues surrounding early child language
development. He is interested in pursuing certain ‘Minimalist Program’
assumptions (Chomsky 1995) which ask how such assumptions might explain
observed early stages of morphosyntactic development in children. His last
monograph (2016) is entitled ‘From Merge to Move: A minimalist perspective on
the design of language and its role in early child syntax’. LINCOM Studies in
Theoretical Linguistics, 59.
