PARAMETERS OF PREDICATE FRONTING OSCS C

In Parameters of Predicate Fronting, Vera Lee-Schoenfeld and Dennis Ott bring together leaders in the field of comparative syntax to explore the empirical manifestations and theoretical modelling of predicate fronting across languages. Including analysis of English, German, Malagasy, Niuean, Ch'ol, Asante, Twi, Limbum, Krachi, Hebrew, and multiple sign languages, this volume takes researchers one step closer to a complete understanding of the uniformity and variation in predicate fronting across languages.

Vera Lee-Schoenfeld is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Georgia. She is the author of Beyond Coherence: The Syntax of Opacity in German (2007).
Dennis Ott is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Ottawa, Canada.
