The first group of papers in the collection asks what word order can tell us about syntactic structure, using evidence from V2, object shift, word order gaps and different kinds of movement. The second group of papers all address the issue of subjecthood in some way, and examine how certain subject properties vary across languages: expression of subjects, expletive subjects, quirky and locative subjects. All of the papers address in some way the tension between modelling what can vary across languages whilst improving our understanding of what might be universal to human language UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30843/1/641731.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30843/1/641731.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/30843/1/641731.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/30299 ER -
