In this book, Cinque takes a generative perspective on typological questions relating to word order and to the syntax of relative clauses. In particular, Cinque looks at: the position of the Head vis à vis the relative clause in relation to the position of the verb vis à vis his object; a general cross-linguistic analysis of correlatives; the need to distinguish a sentence-grammar, from a discourse-grammar, type of non-restrictives (with languages differing as to whether they possess both, one, the other, or neither); a selective type of extraction from relative clauses; and a tentative sketch of a more ample work in progress on a unified analysis of externally headed, internally headed, and headless relative clauses.
Guglielmo Cinque is Full Professor of General Linguistics at the University of Venice. He also taught, as a visiting professor, at the Universities of Vienna (1985/86), Geneva (1989/90) Harvard (1997/98), UCLA (2002/03), Brussels (2010/2011). He is co-editor of the Rivista di grammatica generativa, and is in the editorial board of various linguistics journals (among which, The Linguistic Review and Studia Linguistica), and linguistics book series (among which Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, Dordrecht, Kluwer, Linguistik Aktuell, Amsterdam, Benjamins). He is honorary professor of the University of Bucharest and honorary member of the Linguistic Society of America. He has worked, and continues to work, in the fields of syntactic theory, romance linguistics, and comparative syntax, and has published volumes in these areas with MIT Press, Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press.
