Weak Island Semantics - Oxford Studies in Semantics and Pragmatics
Abrusan, Marta (Permanent Research Scientist, Permanent Research Scientist, CNRS, Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse)
This book presents a novel semantic account of weak islands, structures that block the displacement of certain elements in a sentence. Dr Abrusán's argument that the behaviour of these constructions has a semantic rather than syntactic explanation removes some of the most important reasons for postulating abstract syntactic rules as part of UG.
