Overview

The papers in this volume were presented at the Tilburg Conference on Rightward Movement held in October 1995. They represent a portrait of contemporary syntax and research on rightward movement in particular. The book provides new arguments to defend traditional analyses as well as putting to work the minimalist framework and ideas on strict linearization. Alongside traditional and minimalist approaches, competing ideas of syntactic linearization are offered. In addition, syntactic accounts are confronted by ones that are based on parsing considerations and which suggest that linearization might not be a purely syntactic phenomenon.
