Abstract:

Editor's Note: Now in Paperback.

Recursion and self-embedding are at the heart of our ability to formulate our
thoughts, articulate our imagination and share with other human beings.
Nonetheless, controversy exists over the extent to which recursion is shared
across all domains of syntax. A collection of 18 studies are presented here on
the central linguistic property of recursion, examining a range of
constructions in over a dozen languages representing great areal, typological
and genetic diversity and spanning wide latitudes. The volume expands the
topic to include prepositional phrases, possessives, adjectives, and relative
clauses - our many vehicles to express creative thought - to provide a
critical perspective on claims about how recursion connects to broader aspects
of the mind. Parallel explorations across language families, literate and
non-literate societies, children and adults are investigated and constitutes a
new step in the generative tradition by simultaneously focusing on formal
theory, acquisition and experimentation, and ecologically-sensitive fieldwork,
and initiates a new community where these diverse experts collaborate.
