The syntax of argument structure
-
Artemis Alexiadou
Abstract
In recent years, enormous progress has been made in the development and availability of empirical techniques in language research. They have been fruitfully integrated into the discussion of theoretical models at all linguistic layers. The present article sets out this background and identifies relevant questions and challenges that arise from these novel empirical data for the study of the syntax of argument structure. It presents the articles collected in this volume in their contribution to progress in the field
