CONCLUDING REMARKS; References; IndexSyntactic Carpentry: An Emergentist Approach to Syntax presents a groundbreaking approach to the study of sentence formation. Building on the emergentist thesis that the structure and use of language is shaped by more basic, non-linguistic forces-rather than by an innate Universal Grammar-William O'Grady shows how the defining properties of various core syntactic phenomena (phrase structure, co-reference, control, agreement, contraction, and extraction) follow from the operation of a linear, efficiency-driven processor. This in turn leads to a compelling new view of sentence formation tGrammar, Comparative and generalSyntaxGrammar, Comparative and generalSyntax.415O'Grady William D(William Delaney),1952-954602MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823972603321Syntactic carpentry4093729UNINA
