Hild J. Koopman_The Syntax of Specifiers and Heads Collected Essays (Routledge Leading Linguists 3).pdf

THE SYNTAX OF SPECIFIERS AND HEADS

Since the 1980s there has been remarkable progress in syntactic theory and particularly in

the understanding of the structure of the theory. This book brings together the most

important of Hilda J.Koopman’s essays in the field, written during this time of rapid

theoretical development.

The Syntax of Specifiers and Heads covers such topics as:

• interpretation and distribution of pronouns

• ECP effects

• specifiers and phrase structure

• the role and functioning of head movement

• the architecture of grammar

Each chapter draws syntactic arguments from phenomena in a broad range of languages

and brings these to bear on the structure of syntactic theory and the understanding of

crosslinguistic variation. Among the languages studied are the African languages, Welsh

and Irish, Norwegian, French, English and Dutch.

Professor Koopman has added to this collection an overview of advances in syntactic

theory since the early 1980s and offers her analysis of future directions in the field. The

Syntax of Specifiers and Heads will become a valuable resource for all those interested in

syntactic structures and the development of linguistic theory.

Hilda J.Koopman received her PhD from the University of Tilburg in 1984 and held

a research position of the University of Quebec for several years. She is currently

Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, Los Angeles.
