New Insights Into Theoretical Syntax from Asian Languages Synopsis

This book brings together some of the most prominent linguists working in the field of East and Southeast Asian syntax to create a special collection of papers which highlight new developments in the analysis of the syntax of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian languages. Generative syntactic theory has regularly been influenced by discoveries made in Asian languages, and the present volume connects a broad range of striking patterns found in Asian languages with Minimalist syntactic theory and provides arguments for fresh approaches to a variety of fundamental problems and puzzles within formal syntax.

The volume has also been created as a tribute to Professor C.-T. James Huang, one of the most influential of generative linguists active in the study of Chinese and other Asian languages.
