Book Description:
|
The contributors to this volume, including many of the leading figures in diachronic generative syntax, address the issue of how to model the phenomena of syntactic and morphological change within recent frameworks, in particular the Minimalist Program. There is a substantial introduction which reviews the development of ideas in generative historical syntax over the last 15 years, and assesses the distinctive properties of the generative position.
