Synopses & Reviews
This volume presents the first results of a long-term research project, funded by the Italian government, which aims at mapping out the fine functional structure of sentences, nominal phrases, and other major phrases making up sentences. In particular, it examines the functional structure of DPs (determiner phrases) and IPs (inflection phrases).
Review
"This volume makes an important contribution to the study of functional categories. One of its strengths is bringing together research on a large number of unrelated languages, including sign languages and child languages. Thus, it goes beyond discovering specific languages and into streamlining a universal theory of functional architecture."--
