Smuggling in Syntax: Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax

Editat de Adriana Belletti, Chris Collins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2021
One of the fundamental properties of human language is movement, where a constituent moves from one position in a sentence to another position. Syntactic theory has long been concerned with properties of movement, including locality restrictions.Smuggling in Syntax investigates how different movement operations interact with one another, focusing on the special case of smuggling. First introduced by volume editor Chris Collins in 2005, the term 'smuggling' refers to a specific type of movement interaction. The contributions in this volume each describe different areas where smuggling derivations play a role, including passives, causatives, adverb placement, the dative alternation, the placement of measure phrases, wh-in-situ, and word order in ergative languages. The volume also addresses issues like the freezing constraint on movement and the acquisition of smuggling derivations by children.In this work, Adriana Belletti and Chris Collins bring together leading syntacticians to present a range of contributions on different aspects of smuggling. Tackling fundamental theoretical questions with empirical consequences, this volume explores one of the least understood types of movement and points the way toward new research.

Recenzii

Smuggling in Syntax brings together an impressive array of diverse and enriching papers by authorities in the field who all demonstrate convincingly the impact of smuggling as a component of sentence derivation. With a range of languages represented, the papers collected here combine empirical wealth with theoretical depth. I am convinced that this volume will become a stimulating source of inspiration for many."-Liliane Haegeman, Professor Emerita, University of Ghent
The volume is an impressive collection of case studies documenting the pervasive role of 'smuggling.' From its original application to passive, smuggling is convincingly shown here to play a crucial role in such diverse domains as causatives, tough-movement, dative alternations, the can't seem construction and still others. A striking step forward in our comprehension of syntactic derivations.
An idea of growing importance to syntactic theory, smuggling has yielded an explosion of exciting research. Collected here is some of the best.
