“This carefully argued inquiry develops an original and persuasive Merge-based approach to fundamental questions about the syntactic foundations of semantic interpretation. A very valuable contribution to central issues in the study of language.”
Noam Chomsky
“Collins' stimulating new monograph delves into and sheds important new analytical light on some of the central questions in syntactic theory and will be essential reading on implicit arguments and the passive voice.”
Jason Merchant,
Vice Provost and Lorna Puttkammer Straus Distinguished Service Professor of Linguistics, University of Chicago
“A beautiful trip into the intricacies of the organization of the nominal arguments of verbs, sometimes silent, sometimes overt, developed in such a sharp way, that makes one feel that deep properties have indeed been uncovered. Collins' book illustrates the scientific method at its best, leaving a feeling of freshness and clarity.”
Adriana Belletti,
