Book Summary
One of the most hotly debated phenomena in natural language is that of leftward
argument scrambling. This book investigates the properties of Hindi-Urdu
scrambling to show that it must be analyzed as uniformly a focality-driven
XP-adjunction operation. It proposes a novel theory of binding and coreference
that not only derives the coreference effects in scrambled constructions, but
has important consequences for the proper formulation of binding, crossover,
reconstruction, and representational economy in the minimalist program. The book
will be of interest not only to specialists in Hindi-Urdu syntax and/or
scrambling, but to all students of generative syntax.

Xp-Adjunction In Universal Grammar: Scrambling And Binding In Hindi-Urdu (Oxford Studies In Comparative Syntax)
One of the most hotly debated phenomena in natural language is that of leftward

scrambling to show that it must be analyzed as uniformly a focality-driven
XP-adjunction operation. It proposes a novel theory of binding and coreference
that not only derives the coreference effects in scrambled constructions, but

reconstruction, and representational economy in the minimalist program. The book
will be of interest not only to specialists in Hindi-Urdu syntax and/or
