Deploying a radical implementation of the cartographic one feature - one head maxim, \u003cbr\u003ethe framework provides a fine-grained decomposition of morphosyntactic structure, laying bare the building blocks of the universal functional sequence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume makes three contributions: First, it presents the framework's constitutive tools and principles, and explains how nanosyntax relates to cartography and to Distributed Morphology. Second, it illustrates how nanosyntactic tools and principles can be applied to a range of empirical domains\u003cbr\u003eof natural language. In doing so, the volume provides a range of detailed crosslinguistic investigations which uncover novel empirical data and which contribute to a better understanding of the functional sequence. Third, specific problems are raised and discussed and new theoretical strands\u003cbr\u003einternal to the nanosyntactic framework are explored. Bringing together original contributions by senior and junior researchers in the field, \u003cem\u003eExploring Nanosyntax\u003c\/em\u003e offers the first all-encompassing view of this promising framework, making its methodology and exciting results accessible to a wide\u003cbr\u003eaudience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lena Baunaz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190876753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLena Baunaz\u003c\/strong\u003e is a postdoctoral assistant at the University of Zurich.
