Bücher der Reihe Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics

This book throws new light on the syntax, morphology, and phonology interfaces by focussing on the key current question of which elements in a paradigm can stand in a relation of partial or total phonological identity.

This book brings together the different strands and styles of research on Phi-features, such as person, number, and gender. It presents the core questions, major results, and new directions of this area of linguistic theory and shows how Phi Theory casts light on the nature of interfaces and the structure of the grammar.

This book presents new insights on the phonology-morphology interface. It discusses a wide range of central theoretical issues, including the role of paradigms in synchronic grammars, and does so in the context of a wide variety of languages including several non-Indo-European languages.

This title explores the interaction of syntax, pragmatics, and semantics in the behaviour of verb phrases, incluing noun and prepositional phrases, and how they interact with the information provided by the verb.

The phenomenon of unaccusativity is a central focus for the study of the complex properties of verb classes. Among the issues the authors address in this book are as follows: the determination of the unaccusative class of verbs, the problem of unaccusativity diagnostics, the properties of second-language lexicon, and more.

Investigates the way grammar deals with the representation of aspectual (aktionsart) concepts, focussing on issues of the lexicon-syntax interface. Various theories are developed in this collection, including those that take as their starting point the lexical-syntactic framework of Hale and Keyser.
