Abstract:

Variation in P is an essential follow-up to the seminal proposals of the
generative tradition regarding prepositional syntax. Recent research shows
that prepositional phrases have a complex internal structure, and that the
grammatical encoding of locative meaning has its own place in universal
grammar. The papers collected in the first part of this volume not only test
these proposals against new comparative data, but also shed light on the
relation between spatial expressions and other semantic relations like
possession. The second part of the volume explores the role of prepositions in
non-spatial environments as well as in more general phenomena like verbal
affixation, ellipsis, and complementation.

By drawing on evidence from less studied languages, and by considering
prepositional syntax in interaction with clausal syntax as well as within
prepositional phrases, Variation in P refines and develops theories introduced
by previous generative studies.
