About The Book:
This 1997 volume, edited by Ans van Kemenade, brings together contributions from many leading scholars in the field of diachronic generative syntax. The book addresses the ongoing issue of how to model the relationship between changes in (inflectional) morphology and their syntactic consequences, particularly within the framework of the Minimalist Program.
The volume focuses on the interaction between argument structure selection criteria—such as aspect and mood—and various types of argument marking, including case, word order, clitics, and agreement. This interaction is explored over time, providing valuable insights into the evolution of syntactic and morphological structures.
With papers from prominent researchers, this work is a key resource for anyone studying historical linguistics and generative syntax. The volume includes a substantial introduction that reviews the development of ideas in generative historical syntax and assesses the distinctive contributions of the generative position to this area of study.
