“The Blackwell Companion to Syntax, unique in character and
designed with great skill and care, is sure to be a rich source of
high-quality information on critically important topics, and an
invaluable research tool for the study of language.”
Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“For any serious researcher interested in theoretical linguistics,
this incredible Companion will remain an important and extremely
useful source of reference for years to come.”
Yukio Otsu, Keio University, Tokyo
“These volumes provide a comprehensive overview of the progress and
achievements made in syntax over the last forty years. A galaxy of
international stars under the leadership of two distinguished
linguists, Martin Everaert and Henk van Riemsdijk, has constructed
an unparalleled and monumental survey of empirical facts and
theoretical insights covering the entire field. Whether you are
interested in parasitic gaps, Icelandic logophors, or quantifier
scope ambiguity, you will find here the essential background to
your own contribution. This is a major achievement and the
Companion will rapidly become essential reading for all serious
linguists.”
Neil Smith, University College London
“The flow of linguistic theory is shaped by the empirical puzzles
of the rocks and the banks of the river bed. Any particular rock
will have different effects at different points in the river. This
Companion assembles the empirical puzzles and that is an enormously
valuable service: it enables readers to understand why particular
puzzles were of interest at particular stages in the development of
theory and it assembles the puzzles into a compendium, in the
belief that puzzles need solutions at every point in the
development of theory, even if the shape of the solutions changes
significantly at different stages of theoretical development. The
compendium of puzzles will be a great resource for young
investigators, joining the river at some point and wanting to know
what was upstream as they find their way downstream.”
David Lightfoot, Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic
Sciences, National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA
"Pioneering, illuminating work, readily accessible by anyone
willing to apply their minds. Essential, long term stock for all
