Topics in South Slavic Syntax and Semantics
Editors
This collection of articles presents a variety of approaches to central phenomena in South Slavic syntax and semantics, with an informal introduction by the editors on South Slavic clause structure. Phenomena addressed (treated partly on a language specific basis, partly comparative) include: the structure of the functional field, verb fronting, clitic placement, conjunctions, noun phrase structure, possessives, agreement, and aspectual phenomena.

“While these articles are written in an earlier framework (cf. Chomsky 1995), they are relevant to the central issues in which generative theory is engaged today [...]. As the generative theory continues to develop, the research represented in this volume will continue to be salient.”
