This paper explores the conjecture that clitic doubling in languages like Spanish shares some fundamental aspects of the semantics of inalienable possession, especially if understood in terms of a syntax of the kind originally advocated by Szabolcsi (1983). A few paradigms are discussed where this correlation would explain otherwise peculiar properties, concerning subtle details in the referentiality of clitic arguments and the aspectual properties of the event where they are taken to participate. In the process, the semantic nature of clitic doubling is shifted from the domain of the obscure or pleonastic to that of integral relations. The paper closes with a syntactic puzzle that the hypothesized correlation poses.

Der Sammelband befaßt sich mit dem Einfluß der lexikalischen Bedeutung auf die Funktionen des Verbalaspekts. Grammatischer Aspekt und aspektsensitive Verbklassen (Aktionsarten), die auf den Grenzeigenschaften bzw. Phasenstrukturen von Sachverhalten beruhen, werden dabei systematisch getrennt. Bei den untersuchten Aspektkategorien liegen Schwerpunkte auf der Opposition "perfektiv : imperfektiv" (einschließlich Aorist, Imperfekt, Prozessiv) und auf dem "Perfekt". Daneben werden "Proximativ" und "Ingressiv" sowie die Frage der Relevanz aspektsensitiver Verbklassen auch für (aktionale) Verbalperiphrasen behandelt. Die Daten stammen aus Sprachen sehr verschiedener Gruppen und Typen. This collection examines the influence of lexical meaning on the functions of verb aspect. A systematic distinction is made between grammatical aspect and aspect-sensitive verb-classes (Aktionsarten) defined in terms of the boundary features or phase structures of what they refer to. Among the aspect categories discussed, emphasis is given to the completive/non-perfective opposition (including aorist, imperfect, progressive) and the 'perfect' form. In addition there is discussion of the 'proximative' and the 'ingressive' and the question of the relevance of aspect-sensitive verb-classes for (actional) verb periphrases. The data are taken from languages of very different groups and types.

The papers of the volume mirror the ongoing debate on approaches towards two related topics: conjunction and ellipsis. The major issues are the syntactic relationship between the conjuncts, the syntactic category of the conjunction words, the size of the conjuncts, the syntactic and semantic status of the null elements, and semantic and information structural restrictions. A wide range of facts from various languages are explored in relation to phrasal coordination, Gapping, Pseudogapping, VP-ellipsis, and Sluicing.

This book investigates the nature of human language and its importance for the study of the mind. In particular, it examines current work on the biology of language. Lyle Jenkins reviews the evidence that language is best characterized by a generative grammar of the kind introduced by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s and developed in various directions since that time. He then discusses research into the development of language which tries to capture both the underlying universality of human language, as well as the diversity found in individual languages (Universal Grammar). Finally, he discusses a variety of approaches to language design and the evolution of language. An important theme is the integration of biolinguistics into the natural sciences - the 'unification problem'. Jenkins also answers criticisms of the biolinguistic approach from a number of other perspectives, including evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, connectionism and ape language research, among others.

Hiroyuki Ura demonstrates that his theory of multiple feature-checking, an extension of Chomsky's AGR-less checking theory, gives a natural explanation for a wide range of data drawn from a variety of languages in a very consistent way.

The issue of permanence and change of word-order patterns has long been debated in both historical linguistics and structural theories. The interest in this theme has been revamped by contemporary research in typology with its emphasis on correlation or 'harmonies' of structures of word-order as explicative principles of both synchronic and diachronic processes. The aim of this book is to stimulate a critical reconsideration of perspectives and methods in the study of continuities and discontinuities of word-order patterns. Bringing together contributions by specialists of various theoretical backgrounds and with expertise in different language families or groups (Caucasian, Hamito-Semitic, and - among Indo-European - Hittite, Greek, Celtic, Germanic, Slavonic, Romance), the book addresses issues like the notions of stability, variation and change of word-order and their interrelations, the interplay of syntactic and pragmatic factors, and the role of internal and external factors in synchronic and diachronic dynamics of word-order. The book contains a selection of papers presented at a workshop held at the XIII International Conference on Historical Linguistics (Düsseldorf, August 1997) and additonal invited contributions.
