Gupton presents students, academics, and researchers with his research into a quantitative and qualitatively based clausal word order for the Iberian Penninsula language of Galician, drawing from his analysis the conclusion that in a wide range of contexts, preverbal subjects may behave like canonical elements. The author presents the theoretical grounding for his research, his results, and his analysis over five chapters and five appendices, devoted to the interaction between syntax and information structure, a left-peripheral syntactic analysis of Galician, and other subjects. Timothy Gupton is a faculty member of the University of Georgia. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
The syntactic analysis of preverbal subjects has been the topic of debate for a wide variety of languages. This book establishes clausal word order preferences for Galician, a null-subject language of the Iberian Peninsula, based on quantitative and qualitative data. The experimental methodology and information structure assumptions employed create several testable predictions. The results suggest that, in a wide range of contexts, preverbal subjects behave like canonical elements, and not clitic left-dislocated (CLLD) elements.

This series consists of collected volumes and monographs about specific issues dealing with interfaces among the subcomponents of linguistic structure: phonology-morphology, phonology-syntax, syntax-semantics, syntax-morphology, and syntax-lexicon. Recent linguistic research has recognized that the subcomponents of grammar interact in non-trivial ways. What is currently under debate is the actual range of such interactions and their most appropriate representation in grammar, and this is precisely the focus of this series. Specifically, it provides a general overview of various topics by examining them through the interaction of grammatical components. The books function as a state-of- the-art report of research.
