Reviews

This long-awaited book by David Lebeaux is highly recommended to those who pursue tight, albeit indirect, connections between empirical paradigms and theorizing at the most foundational level. His proposal on the theta subtree and the Case frame points to a new direction of research on cross-linguistic variations. --Hajime Hoji, Department of Linguistics, University of Southern California David Lebeaux's proposals on the binding theory over the last ten years have had profound effects on the development of syntax. In this monograph, he examines the architecture of syntactic theory, based on those proposals, and argues for separate structures for thematic and Case representations, presenting a variety of independent evidence ranging from very early child grammar to idiom interpretation. This monograph should be among the standard references for syntax as it presents an original framework that forms a sound basis for any future research on the binding theory. --Mamoru Saito, Professor of Linguistics, Nanzan University and Distinguished Visitor, University of Connecticut
