{"product_id":"dependency-and-directionality-marcel-den-dikken-9781316628461","title":"Dependency and Directionality","description":"The direction in which the structure of sentences and filler-gap dependencies are built is a topic of fundamental importance to linguistic theory and its applications. This book develops an integrated understanding of structure building, movement and locality embedded in a syntactic theory that argues for a 'top down' approach, presenting an explicit counterweight to the bottom-up derivations pervading the Chomskian mainstream. It combines a compact and comprehensive historical perspective on structure building, the cycle, and movement, with detailed discussions of island effects, the typology of long-distance filler-gap dependencies, and the special problems posed by the subject in clausal syntax. Providing introductions to the main issues, reviewing extant arguments for bottom-up and top-down approaches, and presenting several case studies in its development of a new theory, this book should be of interest to all students and scholars of language interested in syntactic structures and the dependencies inside them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Den Dikken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316628469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316628461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Marcel Den Dikken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064126697727,"sku":"9781316628461","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72ef4fc6-8ee9-45f2-b8c0-1d87c13bbf8f.jpg?v=1685393680","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dependency-and-directionality-marcel-den-dikken-9781316628461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
