Typological Studies Synopsis

In this book, Cinque takes a generative perspective on typological questions relating to word order and to the syntax of relative clauses. In particular, Cinque looks at:

  • the position of the Head vis à vis the relative clause in relation to the position of the verb vis à vis his object
  • a general cross-linguistic analysis of correlatives
  • the need to distinguish a sentence-grammar, from a discourse-grammar, type of non-restrictives (with languages differing as to whether they possess both, one, the other, or neither)
  • a selective type of extraction from relative clauses
  • and a tentative sketch of a more ample work in progress on a unified analysis of externally headed, internally headed, and headless relative clauses
