Authors:
- Develops the innovative argument that affixation constitutes a means of satisfying the universal requirement that linguistic expressions be linearized
- Brings to light a range of new empirical data which is of central relevance to current debates on the nature of head movement
- Presents Nuu-chah-nulth affixation as proof-of-concept for the hypothesis that syntax is ‘spelled out’ to phonology in strictly minimal syntactic domains
- Develops a Minimalist approach to the linearization of affixal predicates in Nuu-chah-nulth
Part of the book series: Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory (SNLT, volume 73)
