This book explores how recursion—our ability to embed structures within structures—shapes human language. Bridging theory and experiment, it highlights two forms of recursion: direct recursion, which merges items directly, and indirect recursion, which embeds items within each other, showing that indirect recursion is sometimes treated as direct recursion in initial stages in acquisition. Drawing on cross-linguistic data from English, Mandarin, Hungarian, Romanian, Tamil, and other languages, the book reveals both universal patterns and language-specific variation in recursive structures such as recursive possessives, prepositional phrases, adjectives, and relative clauses. Ideal for students and researchers in linguistics, the book integrates fresh insights from theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and biolinguistics to provide a comprehensive view of how recursion is structured, acquired, and processed across languages.

In Towards a Theory of Denominals, Adina Camelia Bleotu takes a comparative look at denominal verbs in English and Romanian from various theoretical frameworks such as lexical decomposition, distributed morphology, nanosyntax and spanning. The book proposes a novel spanning analysis, arguing for its explanatory superiority to incorporation/conflation or nanosyntax in accounting for the formation and behaviour of denominals. It provides useful empirical insights, drawing from rich data from English discussed widely in the relevant literature, but also presenting novel data from Romanian not explored in detail before. Many interesting theoretical issues are also discussed, such as the (lack of) correlation between the (un)boundedness of the nominal root and the (a)telicity of the resulting verb, the verb/ satellite-framed distinction and others.
