Abstract
of the theory. This research monograph, which is a revised version of the author's doctoral dissertation, is an original contribution to this line of research. (A shorter version of this research was published as Merlo [1995].) Below, I will provide a general presentation of the book and of the author's ideas. Following that, I will discuss in greater detail the content of each chapter, adding specific comments and observations. The leitmotif in this book is the distinction between linguistic modularity and computational modularity. As is well known, GB theory conceives of grammar as a set of modules, each consisting of a set of parameterized principles concerning some specific linguistic abstraction, as for instance phrase structure, abstract case assignment, binding, movement, and so on. In other terms, linguistic modularity accounts for the linguistic data by means of the interaction of abstract devices, in a way that achieves a high degree of explanation and generalization. From
