Broadening the Domain of Grammar: A Batch from Linguistic Inquiry
About this book
“Language involves a systematic mapping between forms…and interpretations,” writes Eric Reuland in his introduction to Broadening the Domain of A Batch from Linguistic Inquiry. Bringing together articles spanning over a decade of Linguistic Inquiry, this Batch examines the basic computational mechanisms of the language system. The authors explore such topics as language design, Move and Agree, and expanding the boundaries of grammar.
