Generative syntactic theory has regularly been influenced by discoveries made in Asian languages, and the present volume connects a broad range of striking patterns found in Asian languages with Minimalist syntactic theory and provides arguments for fresh approaches to a variety of fundamental problems and puzzles within formal syntax. The volume has also been created as a tribute to Professor C.-T. James Huang, one of the most influential of generative linguists active in the study of Chinese and other Asian languages.
