Applicatives
is concerned with the syntax of constructions that contain arguments that transcend the traditional subject-object characterization, and how the syntax of
such constructions yields the interpretive effects that previous research has identified. At the empirical level this volume remedies the inadequacies and
limitations of previous accounts by proposing a more nuanced view of all the factors that enter into the syntax and semantics of applicatives.
At the theoretical level, this book offers empirical arguments for various theoretical options currently entertained in the minimalist program, among which
movement into theta-position, multiple agree, anti-locality, and a very derivational view on successive cyclic movement.
