| Synopsis: |
Syntactic dependencies like movement, reflexivization, agreement, control, deletion, case assignment and binding can be non-local, crossing a clause boundary. A strategy pursued in many contemporary theories is to model cases of non-local dependencies in a local way, by successively passing on information in small syntactic domains. The present volume brings together eighteen articles that investigate the phenomenon from different theoretical backgrounds, based on evidence from a variety of typologically distinct languages. |
