Syntax in the treetops (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs).

Miyagawa's monograph is a compelling, very well-written, and extremely insightful look at the syntax-discourse interface from a generative perspective. In Chapter 1 ("Setting the stage", 1-36), the author discusses the notion of "root (clause)" and its implications for the representation of speaker and addressee in the syntax. Miyagawa's monograph is organized in six chapters preceded by a foreword, preface, and list of abbreviations. [Extracted from the article]
