Book excerpt: "In Parameters of Predicate Fronting, Vera Lee-Schoenfeld and Dennis Ott bring together leaders in comparative syntax to explore the empirical manifestations and theoretical modeling of predicate fronting across languages. There exists a rich literature on predicate fronting, but few attempts have been made at synthesizing the resulting empirical observations and theoretical implementations. While individual phenomena have been described, we are far from a complete understanding of the uniformity and variation underlying the wider cross-linguistic picture. This volume takes important steps toward this goal by showcasing state-of-the-art research on predicate fronting and the parameters governing its realization. Covering topics like prosody, VP-fronting, and predicate doubling across a wide range of languages, this collection enriches our understanding of the predicate fronting phenomenon."--Back cover.
