The theoretical  framework adopted is the so-called Minimalist Program of Chomsky  (1995), the latest developmental stage of generative grammar. Taking  issue with previous analyses, the author argues that phrase structure  in Dutch is uniformly head initial, and that the finite verb moves to  different positions in subject initial main clauses and in inversion  constructions. \u003cbr\u003e  The book contains lucid and detailed discussion of many theoretical  issues in connection with the Minimalist Program, such as the relation  between syntax and morphology, the nature of syntactic licensing, and  the structure of the functional domain. At the same time, it offers a  survey of the properties of Dutch syntax, a discussion of previous  analyses of Dutch syntax and a wealth of material from dialects of  Dutch and other Germanic languages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792342649\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792342649\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5880-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 320\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358937182348,"sku":"9780792342649","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792342649.jpg?v=1755098171","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792342649","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
