The Syntax-Morphology Interface
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 37.00Syncretism - where a single form serves two or more morphosyntactic functions - is a persistent problem at the syntax-morphology interface.

Parameters and Functional Heads
Oxford University Press 1996; US$ 54.99This collection of linguistic essays examines functional heads using the "principles and parameters" approach. The main focus is on the general theory of head movement, the properties of derived structures and their parametrization. more...
