Editorial Reviews

Based upon the author's doctoral dissertation in linguistics, this text takes as its starting point the antisymmetry theory first proposed by Richard Kayne in his 1994 work on X-bar theory. The aim of the book is to discuss the consequences of the theory in the specific domain of postnomial headed relative clauses. Kayne's "raising" analysis is critically examined by working out aspects that are left implicit or unexplored in his 1994 discussion. An additional aim of the work is to prove that the analysis is superior to alternatives on a number of grounds. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
