Abstract:

This book brings together some of the most prominent linguists working
in the field of East and Southeast Asian syntax to create a special
collection of papers which highlight new developments in the analysis
of the syntax of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other
Southeast Asian languages. Generative syntactic theory has regularly
been influenced by discoveries made in Asian languages, and the
present volume connects a broad range of striking patterns found in
Asian languages with Minimalist syntactic theory and provides
arguments for fresh approaches to a variety of fundamental problems
and puzzles within formal syntax. The volume has also been created as
a tribute to Professor C.-T. James Huang, one of the most influential
of generative linguists active in the study of Chinese and other Asian
languages.
