Abstract:

Interfaces in Grammar, published in 2019 as one of volumes of the Language Faculty and Beyond (LFAB) series by John Benjamins Publishing Company, constitutes an important response to the increasing interest in interface studies on language. In this volume, the emphasis has been placed on the interactions between different grammatical components, which are believed to be closely related to the internal structure of the language faculty. This volume is an important contribution to the theoretical and empirical study of the interactions of grammatical components in Chinese and other languages. It addresses issues such as anaphora universals over non-isomorphic languages, the central role that attraction and repulsion play in the grammar of natural languages, the linking of resumptive pronouns to the periphery, the inner-outer dichotomy of reflexive adverbials, the semantic effects that prosodic features have on the output of the computational system at the Conceptual-Intentional interface, the V-copy construction in Chinese, the syntax of the scope indicator either and its syntactic relation with disjunction, the negators bu (不) and mei (没) and their interactions with focus and event quantification, VP-ellipsis and null object constructions, child language acquisition of the mapping of nominal structure, word order and referentiality, as well as second language acquisition of syntax-semantics interface properties in Chinese NP₁ NP₂ V constructions.
