Bücher der Reihe Studies in Generative Grammar [SGG]

The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.

Clause Structure and Adjuncts in Austronesian Languages is a collection of papers devoted to the syntactic analysis of modification and extraction strategies in Austronesian languages.

The Minimalist Program postulates the equation "Interfaces + Recursion = Language" - a radical reduction of the language to the core mechanism and the interfaces. This volume evaluates the minimalists' proposal against evidence from syntax and semantics by asking questions like: What kind of recursive structures can the core generator form?

His seminal ideas have been influential in developing generative grammar in Europe and beyond. As the initiator, co-founder, and chair of the GLOW society, he made the society the leading platform of European generative linguistics.

The Architecture of Focus offers the most precise and recent characterization of the notion of focus in linguistic theory. The volume contains brand-new and innovative papers that target the nature of focus and topic at the interfaces of the model of grammar.

This book contains a number of studies on modern approaches to phonological segment structure. There are three main sections: (i) a general section, concerned with the basic theory of segmental structure, features, and the organization of segmental structure into feature-geometric trees, (ii) the representation and behaviour of nasality, and (iii) the representation and behaviour of the laryngeal features.

This collection of papers by an international group of authors honours Jonathan Kaye's contributions to phonology by expanding some of Kaye's ideas to a variety of theoretical topics and languages.

The Glot International State-of-the-Article books constitute the ideal solution for everyone who wants to have a good idea of what the others are doing but has not had time to follow the developments in all other parts of the field on a day to day basis.

This text is a compilation of articles on different aspects of Spanish grammar. Topics covered include: the syntax and semantics of clitics and clitic doubling; the structure of noun phrases, with special attention to adjectives; the position of subjects; tense and causation.

This text is an outflow and documentation of the recent renaissance of formal language work for linguistic theory information, which has put long-neglected questions of descriptive complexity firmly back on the generative grammar map.

This collection offers a presentation of the current approaches to the phonotactic or syllabic organization of some 20 lanaguages,

This book brings together papers on various aspects of prosodic development from a generative linguistic perspective. It addresses issues such as the relationship between tone, stress and quantity, the evidence for prosodic change from metrics and discusses the role of analogy, language contact, and language acquisition in change.

The book contains a number of studies in Japanese phonology and morphology, all analyses by leading scholars in the field. In the phonology chapters, it focuses on segmental as well as suprasegmental issues, including voicing and tone, approaching these issues from a variety of perspectives, including Optimality Theory and Government Phonology.

discourse-motivated movement operations, the correlation of movement and agreement, a shift from lexical case to structural case marking, the licensing of structural case in infinitives, the structure of coordinated phrases, possessive constructions with an external possessor, and the role of event structure in syntax.

Sicne the 1990s, the notion of competition has come to play a major role in syntactic theory, particularly in minimalist and optimality-theoretic syntax. The contributions in this book critically investigate the viability of competition in syntax.
