Three Investigations of Extraction

Overview

"In this technical monograph, Paul Postal deals with several issues that he argues have been treated only marginally in the devlepment of current linguistic theorzing. He focuses on three problems in syntactic theory that are connected to ""extraction"" - the occurrence of an element in a distinguished position distinct from its unmarked locus in simple clauses. He examines the body of systematic constrasts among known extraction types, and the phenomenon of Right Node Raising."
