The book begins by outlining the development of formal grammar in the last fifty years, with a particular focus on the work of Noam Chomsky, and moves into an examination of a diverse set of phenomena in various languages that shed light on theory and model construction. Many of the papers focus on comparisons between English and Norwegian, highlighting the importance of comparative approaches to the study of language. With a comprehensive collection of papers that demonstrate the richness of formal approaches, this volume is key reading for students and scholars interested in the study of grammar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart A: Transformational constraints\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Brief Overview of the History of Generative Grammar \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Noam Chomsky: A selected annotated bibliography \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Comp-t Effects: Variation in the Position and Features of C \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Freezing Effects and Objects \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Medial-\u003ci\u003ewh\u003c\/i\u003e Phenomena, Parallel Movement, and Parameters \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Sentential subjects in English and Norwegian \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Be careful how you use the left periphery \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart B: The syntax-semantics interface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Negative Concord and (Multiple) Agree: A Case Study of West Flemish \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 Medial adjunct PPs in English: Implications for the syntax of sentential negation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Neodavidsonianism in semantics and syntax \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Interrogatives, Instructions, and I-languages: An I-Semantics for Questions \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart C: Multilingualism and formal grammar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Generative grammar and language mixing \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 Language mixing and exoskeletal theory: A case study of word-internal mixing \u003cbr\u003ein American Norwegian\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e14 Grammatical Gender in American Norwegian Heritage Language: Stability or \u003cbr\u003eattrition?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49401883361623,"sku":"9780367365882","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/formal-grammar-9780367365882","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
