Abstract

This collection covers the fundamental concepts and analytic tools of generative transformational syntax of the last half century, from Chomsky's Morphophonemics of Modern Hebrew (1951) to the present day. It makes available, in one place, key published material on important areas such as phrase structure, transformations, and conditions on rules and representations. Presenting articles by leading contributors to the field such as Baltin, Boškovic, Bresnan, Chomsky, Cinque, Emonds, Freidin, Hale, Higginbotham, Huang, Kayne, Lasnik, McCawley, Pollock, Postal, Reinhart, Rizzi, Ross, Stowell, Torrego, Travis, Vergnaud, and Williams, this fascinating collection also includes a general introduction by the editors and an index, thus providing a comprehensive single reference resource for students and researchers alike.

Abstract

This study is concerned with the categorial status of subordinating conjunctions and the internal and external structure of subordinate clauses. Starting out from the categorizations of subordinating conjunctions that prevail in recent generative linguistic theory, namely complementizers and prepositions, and from the division of syntactic categories into lexical and functional ones, the author investigates the lexical and grammatical properties of subordinating conjunctions which are held to account for both the distribution and the architecture of subordinate clauses. Central to this study is the relation between the category subordinating conjunction, the licensing of its projection and the licensing of its complement and specifier position. Part I is concerned with subordination in early Generative Grammar, the rise of the category C and the categorization of subordinating conjunctions. Part II focuses on recent conceptions of phrase structure, the inventory of syntactic categories, the lexical-functional dichotomy and syntactic movement. Part III is concerned with the lexical properties of complementizers (C), prepositions (P), and a third category of subordinating conjunctions (Subcon) which conflates properties of Cs and Ps. This categorization of subordinating conjunctions is arrived at on the basis of the distribution of the phrases they head and the mechanisms by which these elements license their complement and specifier. Cs, as typical functional heads, license both theirs complement and their specifier on the basis of feature checking mechanisms; Ps, as typical lexical heads, license these positions by theta-marking them. Within SubconP the complement is licensed by feature checking as within CP, and the specifier is licensed by theta-marking as within PP.

Abstract

Selon les thèses innéistes, encore répandues de nos jours, la faculté humaine du langage serait innée et la grammaire serait universelle. Or, il existe de nombreux faits d'observation et d'expérimentation qui plaident en faveur d'un apprentissage associatif du langage, ou plus précisément de son noyau dur, la morphosyntaxe, aussi appelée « régulations combinatoires » (Il s'agit des dispositifs qui, différemment dans chaque langue, régissent l'organisation des énoncés comportant plus d'un mot et donc exigeant une organisation séquentielle). L'apprentissage de ces régulations continue de poser problème en psycholinguistique développementale bien davantage que les autres composantes langagières (phonologie, sémantique, organisation discursive). L'ouvrage analyse les données à disposition et s'articule autour de trois chapitres. Le premier envisage la préparation innée qui paraît bien être celle du langage dans certains de ses aspects. Le deuxième chapitre s'efforce de cerner ce qui est appris en matière de langage combinatoire. Le troisième chapitre cherche à répondre à la question « comment est-ce appris ? ». L'auteur propose alors les thèses suivantes : tout d abord, l'émergence de ces régulations combinatoires dans le cours du développement résulte d'une convergence d'influences neurogénétiques et cognitives, et fait intervenir une modalité particulière d apprentissage dite implicite. Enfin, l'auteur propose un modèle explicatif innovant des régulations combinatoires.
