{"product_id":"9780199246519","title":"Movement in Language","description":"A comprehensive, integrated and explanatory account of the properties of question formations and their variation across languages. It makes an important contribution to the current debate over whether syntax should be understood derivationally, arguing that the best model of language is one in which sentences are constructed in a series of operations that precede or follow each other in time The central problem it addresses is the nature of the difference between (a) languages in which all wh-words move overtly to a clause-initial position (exemplified by Bulgarian); (b) languages in which one wh-phrase moves per clause but all others remain in situ (exemplified by English); and (c) languages in which there is no overt movement at all (exemplified by Japanese) Professor Richards focuses on the nature of syntactic movement in order to see what this reveals about the syntactic derivation. He considers the nature of interactions between movement operations and investigates the behaviour of multiple overt wh-movement, scrambling, cliticization, and object shift. His general conclusions about the relationship between movement and multiple specifiers follow straightforwardly from basic","brand":"Norvin Richards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45744137601342,"sku":"9780199246519","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780199246519_4c6a6714-e3b1-4cbc-bdda-da7228357fab.jpg?v=1707223664","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780199246519","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
