Relevant phenomena include long-distance movement, long-distance reflexivization, long-distance agreement, control, non-local deletion, long-distance case assignment, consecutio temporum, extended scope of negation, and semantic binding of pronouns. A recurring strategy pursued in many contemporary syntactic theories is to model cases of non-local dependencies in a strictly local way, by successively passing on the relevant information in small domains of syntactic structures.\u003cbr\u003eThe present volume brings together eighteen articles that investigate non-local dependencies in movement, agreement, binding, scope, and deletion constructions from different theoretical backgrounds (among them versions of the Minimalist Program, HPSG, and Categorial Grammar), and based on evidence from a variety of typologically distinct languages. This way, advantages and disadvantages of local treatments of non-local dependencies become evident. Furthermore, it turns out that local analyses of non-local phenomena developed in different syntactic theories (spanning the derivational\/declarative divide) often may not only share identical research questions but also rely on identical research strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041052311792,"sku":"9783110294712","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110294712_p0.jpg?v=1763716470","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110294712","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
