A Minimalist Approach to Scramblingby Simin Karimi
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2005; US$ 123.20This study addresses the problems scrambling langauges provide for the existing syntactic theories by analyzing the interaction of semantic and discourse functional factors with syntactic properties of word order in this type of languages, and by discussing the implications of this interaction for Universal Grammar.
