{"product_id":"rethinking-parameters-9780190461744","title":"Rethinking Parameters","description":"Parameters of linguistic variation were originally conceived, within the chomskyan Principles and Parameters Theory, as UG-determined options that were associated with grammatical principles and had a rich deductive structure. This characterization of parametric differences among languages has changed significantly over the years, especially so with the advent of Minimalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book collects a representative sample of current generative research on the status, origin and size of parameters. Often taking diverging views, the papers in the volume address some or all of the main debated topics in parametric syntax: i.e. are parameters provided by UG, or do they constitute emergent properties arising from points of underspecification?; in which component(s) of the language faculty are parameters to be found?; do clustering effects actually hold across languages?; do macroparameters exist alongside microparameters?; are there parameter hierarchies?; which is the origin and role of parameters in the process of language acquisition?\u003cbr\u003e The volume is organized into two parts. Part I (\"The nature of variation and parameters\") brings together studies whose main goal is to discuss general issues related to parameters (or variation more generally). Part II (\"Parameters in the analysis of language variation: case studies\") includes a number of works that deal with the empirical basis and proper formulation of well-known particular parameters: the Null Subject Parameter, the NP\/DP Parameter, the Compounding Parameter, the Wh-Parameter and the Analyticity Parameter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis Eguren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190461744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuis Eguren\u003c\/strong\u003e is Full Professor of Spanish Linguistics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOlga Fernández-Soriano\u003c\/strong\u003e is Full Professor of Spanish Linguistics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmaya Mendikoetxea Pelayo\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently a senior lecturer in the department of English Philology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40625309614195,"sku":"9.78019E+12","price":130.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_15a719ed-4015-4335-ab83-a617efdff761.jpg?v=1670944466","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/rethinking-parameters-9780190461744","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
