Abstract:

The book contains ten papers discussing issues of the relation between
syntax and morphology from the perspective of morphologically rich
languages including, among others, Indo-European languages, indigenous
languages of the Americas, Turkish, and Hungarian. The overall
question discussed in this book is to what extent morphological
information shows up in syntactic structures and how this information
is represented.

The authors adopt different theoretical frameworks such as the
Derivational Theory of Morphology, Distributed Optimality, Head-driven
Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical-Functional Grammar, Lexical
Decomposition Grammar combined with Linking Theory and OT-like
constraints, Paradigm-Based Morphosyntax as well as the Principles and
Parameters Approach of Generative Grammar.
