Abstract:

The book investigates multiple aspects of the patterning of Determiner
Phrases (DP) in Bangla and develops a set of proposals to model the
underlying syntactic structure of such elements. A broad aspect of
this book is to re-assert the existing argument in the DP literature
that DPs appear to share a parallel structure to the clauses. The book
in particular shows that the Bangla DP-internal phrasal movements are
instances of discourse driven phenomena. This further leads to project
a fine structure of nominal left-periphery in the Bangla DP, that has
been argued in the background of the cross-linguistic evidence drawn
from Gungbe, Greek, Albanian, and Russian languages. The central
theoretical discussion of the book primarily revolves around the key
conceptual domains of adjective movement, ellipsis, definiteness, and
wh-movement in the Bangla DP.
