Description
Order and Structure in Syntax II by Laura R. Bailey and Michelle Sheehan This collection of papers re-examines the role of order and structure in syntax, focusing on fundamental issues such as word order and grammatical functions. The authors explore how different aspects of word order can reveal insights into syntactic structure, including V2, object shift, word order gaps, and various types of movement. The book also addresses the issue of subjecthood, examining how certain subject properties vary across languages, including expression, expletive subjects, quirky, and locative subjects. By considering these topics, the authors aim to reconcile the tension between modelling what can vary across languages while improving our understanding of universal aspects of human language. Published in 2020, this work presents a nuanced exploration of syntax and its underlying structures, shedding light on the complexities of human language.
