Syntactic Nuts

Copyright Peter W. Culicover 1999; FIRST PUBLISHED 1999; ISBN 0-19-870023-7 paperback. Volume I of FOUNDATIONS OF SYNTAX, a two-volume project presenting the language faculty as a dynamical system; Volume II, Dynamical Syntax with Andrzej Nowack, is announced inside for 2001. This volume works through the “hard cases” and “syntactic nuts” — the idiosyncrasies that a clean theory tends to set aside — and argues from them that the periphery is where acquisition is really tested. NOTE: this copy has no scan 2. Oxford’s imprint page lists Ìbàdàn among its associated companies.
