This collection of essays covers such topics as interpretation and distribution of pronouns, ECP effects, specifiers and phrase structure, the role and functioning of head movement, and 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. Professor Koopman has added to this collection an overview of advances in syntactic theory since the early 1980s and offers an analysis of future directions in the field.
