Description
This collection of articles presents a variety of approaches to central phenomena in South Slavic syntax and semantics, with an informal introduction by the editors on South Slavic clause structure. Phenomena addressed (treated partly on a language specific basis, partly comparative) include: the structure of the functional field, verb fronting, clitic placement, conjunctions, noun phrase structure, possessives, agreement, and aspectual phenomena.
Reviews / Votes
While these articles are written in an earlier framework (cf. Chomsky 1995), they are relevant to the central issues in which generative theory is engaged today [...]. As the generative theory continues to develop, the research represented in this volume will continue to be salient. -- Abigail W.
