Universal Grammar (RLE Linguistics A: General Linguistics) - Edward L. Keenan - Bog

This collection of 15 articles reflects Edward Keenan¿s long-standing research interests in the comparative syntax of the languages of the world. It includes two seminal `foundation¿ articles, Noun Phrase Accessibility and Universal Grammar (with Bernard Comrie) and Towards a Universal Definition of `Subject of¿. Most of the other articles have appeared in a variety of relatively inaccessible places, and so this book brings together for the first time a large body of work supporting the research directions taken in the foundation articles. In addition, one article of a psycholinguistic sort was specially prepared for this volume.
