Description:

This book provides a discussion of consequences of label-theoretic developments of the Minimalist Program for the theory of the syntax-semantics relationship. It provides a debate of a proper modeling of interpretive reflexes of syntactic adjunction and syntactic displacement.

Synopsis:

Current developments of the Minimalist Program in generative linguistics put the procedure of labeling syntactic objects at the center of the syntax-semantics transition. This book provides a discussion of consequences of such proposals for a proper analysis of different varieties of the operation Merge and their interpretive reflexes, as well as for the general theory of the syntax-semantics relationship. It argues that the absence of substitutional operations in Narrow Syntax should restrict the range of admissible interpretive operations on adjunction structures in the conceptual-intentional component. It also debates that syntactic chains are subject to interpretive procedures properly analyzed with the help of counterpart-theoretic concepts.
