The Left Edge Ban and the Architecture of the Grammar
Inbunden, 2026
1300 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book proposes and motivates a ban on words and sentences of a particular form, and shows that there are differences between how this ban is satisfied at the word level and at the sentence level. One striking finding is that syntactic operations may serve as a means of avoiding violation of the …

Linguists (and others) have realised for some time that predicates of the 'know' and 'wonder' classes behave differently, in semantic terms, with respect to their interrogative complements, but have not so far fully understood how or why. This book seeks to explore and to provide solutions to this …
