They all pursue a comparative approach, investigating and comparing different languages and dialects or comparing different modes of acquisition, as in Adriana Belletti’s work, to whom the volume is dedicated. The papers in the first part (by Chomsky, Rizzi, Bianchi & Chesi, Cinque, Costa, Calabrese) deal with theoretical issues such as labeling, the cartography of structures and the locality of derivations in a broad sense. The papers in the second part (by Haegeman & Lohndal, Delfitto & Fiorin, Cruschina, Lahousse, Di Domenico and Contemori, Dal Pozzo & Matteini) concentrate on the realization of structure relative to discourse, particularly on topic and focus positions in the vP periphery, and on referential dependencies. The third part collects papers (by Cardinaletti & Volpato, Friedmann, Yachini & Szterman, Snyder & Hyams, Hamann & Tuller, Cecchetto & Donati, Grewendorf & Poletto) that specifically target intervention effects in relative clauses as apparent in different structures, different languages, and different populations. 223 8 27 2015 8 20 2015 9789027257062 9789027268464 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/la.223 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027268464 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/la.223/html https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027268464.pdf Guglielmo Cinque In this paper evidence will be provided that augmentative, pejorative, diminutive and endearing morphemes are rigidly ordered with respect to one another, pointing to the existence of correspondingly ordered functional heads in the extended nominal projection. The evidence will primarily come from the relative order of the augmentative, pejorative, diminutive and endearing suffixes of Italian, but also from the order of the corresponding bound and unbound morphemes of other languages. 8 27 2015 8 20 2015 67 82 10.1075/la.223.04cin https://benjamins.com/catalog/la.223.04cin https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/la.223.04cin/html 10.1017/cbo9780511618437.001 10.1017/s0041977x04470062 Linguistic Inquiry Baker 16 373 1985 The mirror principle and morphosyntactic explanation Piapoco and natural morphology theory Bailey 33 2007 10.1075/sl.21.3.04bau Quaderni del laboratorio di linguistica della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa 8 Bertinetto 1 2009 Ayoreo (Zamuco).
