This important study within the framework of Government and Binding, focuses in particular on the internal structure of Noun Phrases. The authors present strong new arguments in favour of the existence of empty categories, and evidence for the correct understanding of word-order parameters and of Chomsky's Projection Principle. In so doing, they offer a descriptive analysis of nominal structure in Romance, and compare it with corresponding structure in Germanic languages. As well as the theoretical advances that it makes, this book offers a valuable introduction to Italian phrase structure.Giorgi, Alessandra is the author of 'Syntax of Noun Phrases Configuration, Parameters and Empty Categories', published 1991 under ISBN 9780521379021 and ISBN 0521379024.
