Description
This survey explores interactions between syntax and discourse, focusing on patterns of extraction from coordinate structures. It presents a comprehensive analysis that challenges current syntactic theories and sheds light on the interfaces between syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse.
The authors outline reasonable hypotheses that allow theoretical conclusions to be drawn from empirical facts, revealing the potential for coordinate structures to discriminate between different syntactic approaches. This volume provides a starting point for further research on extraction from coordinate structures, particularly in understudied languages.
