Syntactic theory and Basque syntax

Abstract

This volume presents a series of articles dealing with questions of current interest within the field of generative syntax. If syntax has played a central role in the development of linguistic theory in the second half of the XXth century, it seems clear that generative approaches occupy a central position in the area of syntactic research. Actualy, it is to a large extent as a result of concerns addressed within the generative paradigm that syntax has emerged as the single most important field in theoretical linguistics. Since the publication of Chomsky’s "Syntactic structure" back in 1957, the "generative enterprise" has managed to provide an appealing research program which has unified and guided the activity of a growing number of linguistics.
