The study presents a wealth of  empirical evidence involving unbound traces created by remnant  topicalization, wh-movement, scrambling, left dislocation, and  extraposition. Four characteristic properties of remnant movement are  identified that pose severe problems for a representational movement  theory. It is argued that these properties can be fruitfully addressed  on the basis of Chomsky's minimalist program, and that they follow  from a derivational movement theory that incorporates the Barriers  Condition, the Strict Cycle Condition, Fewest Steps, Last Resort, and  the Minimal Link Condition but completely dispenses with surface  filters. \u003cem\u003eIncomplete\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eCategory Fronting\u003c\/em\u003e provides an  empirical underpinning for the minimalist program and presents a  powerful argument for a derivational theory of grammar. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience: Incomplete Category Fronting\u003c\/em\u003e will interest all  linguists working on theoretical syntax, Germanic syntax or the  syntax-semantics interface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048149414\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048149414\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1864-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 342\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358937051276,"sku":"9789048149414","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048149414.jpg?v=1755098160","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048149414","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
