Abstract:
This collection of previously unpublished articles examines Noam
Chomsky's Extended Projection Principle and its relationship to
subjects and expletives (works like "it" that stand for other
words). Re-examining Chomsky's proposition that each clause must have
a subject, these articles represent the current state of the debate,
particularly with respect to the theory's universal applicability
across languages. Presenting an international and highly respected
group of contributors, the volume explores these questions in a
variety of languages, including Italian, Finnish, Icelandic, and
Hungarian.
