"This volume explores in detail the empirical and conceptual content of the 'Minimal Link' condition (MLC) in the grammar, which constrains the length of movement dependencies in natural language. The authors investigate MLC effects in domains such as Stylistic Fronting, multiple wh-questions, double object constructions and transitives in ergative languages. The volume includes contributions couched in the Minimalist and Optimality Theoretical frameworks."--Jacket.
