About the Book

The volume collects a selection of papers presented at a European Colloquium held at the Università degli Studi di Roma Tre in October 1997. It focuses on phenomena at the boundary between morphology and syntax, and provides analyses for data from the fields of both inflectional and derivational morphology and word order. Morpho-syntactic phenomena are analysed cross-linguistically and cross-theoretically, as typologically-different languages (European, Afro-Asiatic, American and Austronesian ones) are dealt with and compared according to a variety of approaches, from minimalism and lexical-functional grammar to grammaticalization theory, taking into account both synchronic variation and diachronic change. The volume is divided into three sections: I. Morphological phenomena and their boundaries, II. Morpho-syntax and pragmatics, and III. Morpho-syntax and semantics, as the interaction with the higher components of the grammar is seen as contributing to explaining variation in morpho-syntactic behaviour.

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction; 2. I. Morphological Phenomena and their Boundaries; 3. Between Morphology and Syntax: On the verbal morphology of some Alpine dialects (by Beninca, Paola); 4. Compounding: Morphology and/or Syntax? (by Bisetto, Antonietta); 5. The Effect of Noun Incorporation on Argument Structure (by Mithun, Marianne); 6. Lexical-Functional Morphology and the Structure of the Lexicon (by Schwarze, Christoph); 7. Somali as a Polysynthetic Language (by Svolacchia, Marco); 8. Dutch Verbal Prefixes: Meaning and form, grammaticalization and lexicalization (by Auwera, Johan van der); 9. The Irrealis in the Polish Language: A question of verbal moods, conjunctions or the modal particle by? (by Zaleska, Maria); 10. II. Morpho-Syntax and Pragmatics; 11. Morphological and Syntactical Complexity in French Interrogative Predicates (by Blanche-Benveniste, Claire); 12. Integrating Pragmatics into the Grammar (by Engdahl, Elisabet); 13. Subject, Nominative Case, Agreement and Focus (by Frascarelli, Mara); 14. The English Cleft Construction as a Focus Phrase (by Kiss, Katalin E.); 15. Agreement, Pronominalization and Word Order in Pragmatically-Oriented Languages (by Mereu, Lunella); 16. III. Morpho-Syntax and Semantics; 17. Thematic-Role Assignment and Aspect in Italian Pronominal Verbs: A lexicological study (by Lo Cascio, Vincenzo); 18. Syntactic Optionality and Lexical Semantics: The case of English manner of motion verbs (by Markantonatou, Stella); 19. Labile Orders and Grammatical Functions: The functional representation of one-argument structures (by Sornicola, Rosanna); 20. General Index

Review :
Overall, the volume will appeal to an audience interested in current approaches to morphology and its interaction with syntax. [...] and the breadth of the volume should prove equally appealing to anyone interested in the semantic and pragmatic aspects of word structure.
