About this eBook

There are far more syntactically distinct languages than we might have thought. Yet there are far fewer than there might have been. We need to understand why. Questions of Syntax collects sixteen papers authored by Richard S. Kayne, a preeminent syntactician, who has sought over the course of his career to understand why both these things are true.
