Where Does Binding Theory Apply

摘要: This concise but wide-ranging monograph examines where the conditions of binding theory apply and in doing so considers nature phrase structure (in particular how case theta roles apply) lexical/functional split. David Lebeaux begins with a revised formulation theory. He reexamines Chomsky's conjecture that all at interfaces, LF (or Logical Form), argues instead negative conditions, Condition C, continuously throughout derivation. draws distinction between positive which have different privileges occurrence according to architecture grammar. Negative he finds, homogeneously derivation; solely LF. A hole C then forces reconsideration whole finds representations are split apart only fused later points derivation, after movement has applied. Lebeaux's exploration relationship reveals greater subtlety importance than is generally assumed. His arguments should interest syntacticians those curious about foundations
