Overview

"This volume contains a collection of articles on semantic issues directly dealt within the syntactic component of the language processing faculty. They represent revised versions of works presented at the ""XXVI Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages"" in Mexico City. A shared characteristic of all the articles is that they focus on issues having to do with the interaction of form and meaning. Most of them were also developed under the principal thesis of the Minimalist Programme."
