Download or read book Partitions and Atoms of Clause Structure written by Dominique Sportiche and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-05 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together some of Dominique Sportiche's best work, including essays that are published here for the first time. The articles discuss the architecture of syntax in natural languages and Sportiche suggests that languages do not differ at all in their syntactic organization. This view takes shape through the analysis of a variety of syntactic configurations and essays examine what it means to be a Subject, how Case marking functions, how it relates to Agreement, and how Pronominal Clitic Constructions should be analyzed.
