Riassunto:

This collection of seven papers studies important aspects of the syntax of Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, and Romanian from a comparative perspective based on current linguistic frameworks, including the Minimalist Program. Topics addressed include control, raising, and obviation, negation, noun phrase structure, clitic pronouns, and verb movement.

Recensione: ... a welcome addition to the rapidly growing literature on Balkan syntax and on comparative syntax more generally. The articles are almost uniformly excellent, and the book is carefully edited. This is a worthy addition to Oxford's series of Studies in comparative syntax and is definitely recommended reading for anyone interested in syntactic typology. (Language)

... not a survey of Balkan syntax but a fascinating snapshot of several important issues, especially the properties of the infinitive-replacing 'subjunctive' construction and the proper treatment of various types of functional heads within the minimalist framework. (Language)
