He formulates a new theory of argument structure based on the only structure-building operation in minimalist syntax, Merge, which puts together two syntactic objects to form a larger one. This new theory should give rise to detailed cross-linguistic work on the syntactic and semantic properties of implicit arguments.</p><p>Collins presents an update and defense of his influential 2005 theory of the passive, including a completely original theory of implicit arguments. He makes a direct empirical argument for the Theta-Criterion against various claims that it should be eliminated. He also discusses the conception of voice in syntactic theory, arguing that VoiceP does not introduce external arguments, a position otherwise widely accepted in the field. He shows how the smuggling approach to the passive extends naturally to the dative alternation accounting for a number of striking c-command asymmetries. He compares syntactic and semantic approaches to argument structure, outlining conceptual problems with adopting formal semantics as the basis for a theory of argument structure.</p><p>The book will be of interest not only to syntacticians and semanticists, but also to typologists investigating the cross-linguistic properties of the passive, psycholinguists and computer scientists working on natural language understanding, and philosophers thinking about the issue of implicit content. It includes an appendix that provides common-sense guidelines for doing syntactic research using internet data.</p>...4290285Principles of Argument Structure488677https://www.gandhi.com.mx/principles-of-argument-structure-9780262379120/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4031955/image.jpg?v=638526705643730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780262379120_W3siaWQiOiJiMTA0YWYyNC1iOWRmLTRhMzgtYTAzZi05NTI5YjU1Njk2YzEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjY3NywiZGlzY291bnQiOjE4OSwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0ODgsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTA3LTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780262379120_<p><strong>A new theory of argument structure, based on the syntactic operation Merge and presented through an in-depth analysis of properties of the English passive construction.</strong></p><p>In <em>Principles of Argument Structure</em>, Chris Collins investigates principles of argument structure in minimalist syntax through an in-depth analysis of properties of the English passive construction.
