Publisher's Synopsis
Linguistic Variation Yearbook is devoted to the study of the nature and scope of linguistic variation from the point of view of the minimalist program. It aims at going beyond the traditional tension between explanatory and descriptive adequacy. It seeks in particular to investigate to what extent the study of linguistic variation can shed light on the broader issue of language particular vs. language universal properties and design. Volume 3 contains articles by Denis Bouchard, Anders Holmberg, K. A. Jayaseelan, Giuseppe Longobardi, Sandra Stjepanovic, Yuji Takano, and Wei-Tien Dylan Tsai & Melody Yayin Chang.
