Current Issues in Spanish Syntax and Semantics

This book is a compilation of articles on different aspects of Spanish grammar in the areas of current theoretical syntax and semantics. Topics covered include the syntax and semantics of clitics and clitic doubling; the structure of noun phrases, with specialattention to adjectives; the position of subjects; tense and causation. The approaches fall within generative grammar, broadly understood, with some contributions cast in the perspective of the minimalist program. Thus, the book offers a balanced picture of state of the art research in these areas.
