Most syntacticians, no matter their theoretical persuasion, agree that fea-
tures (types or categories) are the most important units of analysis. Within
Chomskyan generative grammar, the importance of features has grown
steadily, and within minimalism, it can be said that everything depends on
features. They are obstacles in any interdisciplinary investigation concerning
the nature of language, and it is hard to imagine a syntactic description that
does not explore them.
For the first time, this book turns grammar upside down and proposes a
new model of syntax which is better suited to interdisciplinary interactions,
and shows how syntax can proceed free of lexical influence. The empiri-
cal domain examined is vast, and all the fundamental units and properties
of syntax (categories, Parameters, Last Resort, labeling, and hierarchies) are
rethought.
Opening up new avenues of investigation, this book will be invaluable to
researchers and students of syntactic theory, and linguistics more broadly.
