A fundamental concept in all syntactic theories is that of a syntactic relation between syntactic objects. While recent work in the Minimalist Framework has attempted to explain the nature of syntactic objects in terms of simple and conceptually necessary assumptions regarding the language faculty,

Syntactic Carpentry: An Emergentist Approach to Syntax presents a groundbreaking approach to the study of sentence formation. Building on the emergentist thesis that the structure and use of language is shaped by more basic, non-linguistic forces--rather than by an innate Universal Grammar--William
O'Grady (linguistics, U. of Hawaii at Manoa) advances the emergenist thesis to the difficulties of the syntax of natural language. He begins by examining language without grammar, showing that sentences are simply built in the quickest, most efficient manner possible, using the least memory. He reso
<p>This study investigates a model of syntactic derivations that is based on a new concept of dislocation, i.e., of 'movement' phenomena. Derivations are conceived of as a compositional process that constructs larger syntactic units out of smaller ones without any phrase-structure representations, a
<p>This book provides the fastest and simplest route to the majority of the results and equations in derivative pricing, and gives the reader the tools necessary to extend these ideas to new situations that they may encounter. It does so by focusing on a single underlying principle that is easy to g
