The volume contains 18 contributions from senior and junior
scholars covering core issues within the theoretical investigation
of the architecture and the mechanisms of the faculty of language,
with particular emphasis on the computational component. They all
pursue a comparative approach, investigating and comparing
different languages and dialects or comparing different modes of
acquisition, as in Adriana Belletti’s work, to whom the volume is
dedicated. The papers in the first part (by Chomsky, Rizzi, Bianchi
& Chesi, Cinque, Costa, Calabrese) deal with theoretical issues
such as labeling, the cartography of structures and the locality of
derivations in a broad sense. The papers in the second part (by
Haegeman & Lohndal, Delfitto & Fiorin, Cruschina, Lahousse,
Di Domenico and Contemori, Dal Pozzo & Matteini) concentrate on
the realization of structure relative to discourse, particularly on
topic and focus positions in the vP periphery, and on referential
dependencies. The third part collects papers (by Cardinaletti &
Volpato, Friedmann, Yachini & Szterman, Snyder & Hyams,
Hamann & Tuller, Cecchetto & Donati, Grewendorf &
Poletto) that specifically target intervention effects in relative
clauses as apparent in different structures, different languages,
and different populations.
