Jerrold M. Sadock is Glen A. Lloyd Distinguished Service Professor, Emeritus in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago.

'In this original and creative work, Sadock addresses one of the most fundamental issues in theoretical linguistics, the relationship among the different modules of grammar. He challenges established generative theory by introducing an elegant and well motivated non-derivational model of linguistic organization.' Jan Terje Faarlund, University of Oslo

• 1. Autonomous modularity: syntax and semantics; 2. The interface; 3. Role structure; 4. The linear order component; 5. Morphology and morphophonology; 6. Gaps and other defective elements; 7. Conflict resolution; 8. Tough 'movement': a tough construction.
