Synopsis
The essays collected in this book result from recent work in trace theory, the starting point being Chomsky's proposals to permit syntax to over-generate profusely and then to provide most of the significant reduction in the form of a system of filters and constraints on logical form. They all address various aspects and implications of his article, On Binding, which is reprinted here. Equally important, the essays demonstrate the applicability of Chomsky's proposals to a number of different languages.
Heny writes that "editorial work on the volume brought me to a realization of the far-reaching implications of the approach to linguistic analysis underlying Chomsky's On Binding. It constitutes a radical break with his previous work, of a very exciting and promising kind." Heny's Introduction goes on to describe the shift in Chomsky's position over the last ten years in lucid and straightforward fashion, identifying the striking new properties of this framework and making the collection generally more accessible to a wider audience.
