Liliane Haegeman is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Ghent.
"This syntactic proposal is interesting, well-motivated and
presented in a logical and clear structure. It opens up fruitful
opportunities for further work on the interface to semantics, which
has also concerned itself with many of the phenomena touched upon
here. The book starts off with a large data section which
aggregates and complements previously reported judgments on the
composition of the left periphery in English. For this part alone,
the volume is a
must read for any linguist interested in phenomena of the left
periphery. The author meticulously records disagreements and
variation with regard to the reported judgments, which can lead to
new
research into syntactic variation and cross-linguistic studies."
