Description

"Dynamic Syntax" draws together some of the most influential work of one of the world's leading syntactitians, Juan Uriagekera. These essays provide several empirical analyses and technical solutions within the minimalist programme. The book pursues a naturalistic take on minimalism, explicitly connecting a variety of linguistic principles and conditions to arguably analogous laws and circumstances in nature. Juan Uriagereka presents an analysis of a variety of central linguistic notions, such as case agreement, obviation and rigidity, from a derivational perspective. Including concrete studies, he uses data from a number of languages.
