Summary

Recent linguistic research has recognized that the subcomponents of grammar interact in non-trivial ways. What is currently under debate is the actual range of such interactions and their most appropriate representation in the grammar. This is precisely the focus of this series. Specifically, it aims to provide a general overview of various topics by examining them through the interaction of grammatical components. The books are intended to function as a state of the art report of research.
